Rylyn and her boyfriend Chris showed up at 7 am the morning after their Carleton College senior prom looking so fresh and put-together I was worried they hadn’t properly been celebrating senior week. But then Rylyn tried to say hello and her voice was gone from a week of yelling with friends at loud activities, and I was frankly relieved. In the rush of the last week on campus before heading onto the next chapter, it was nice to have a quiet morning on campus, just to ourselves.
Rylyn was so sweet, and she and Chris had a really easy, supportive dynamic. They met their first-year, and now are heading to different cities for grad school. I caught them between post-prom fatigue and deep cleaning their dorms before parents arrived, but you’d never know they were in the whirlwind. Both of them were so poise, kind, and laid-back. Best of luck on the next adventure, you two!
