It's throwback Tuesday for Hillary Clinton, whose interview with Girls creator Lena Dunham was just released in the first issue of Dunham's newsletter, LennyLetter. Though sneak peeks of the interview were teased last week — in which Clinton gushed about feminism and admitted she turned down Bill's proposal twice before saying yes — the full interview sheds more light on Clinton's formative years thanks to some "very Instagram-worthy" photos Dunham unearthed.

In one photo, a college-aged Clinton stands in front of a lake, which she describes as, "one of my favorite places in college... I just adored it. I would swim illegally every chance I got. It was just a real center for my experience in college." Other photos show Clinton at a debate and a protest.
