Oh No! Not another blog about Nykerk…well I can’t help it. It is been a part of my life for the last two years, and now it is done. I must write about it to commend the memories and people that have inspired me along the Nykerk Way. If you are reading this and you are thinking, …

The ‘Kerk is Over
Well, Nykerk is over as fast as it came. These past three weeks have been nothing but fun, and on Saturday, it was the culmination of a lot of great talent. As most of you know, Nykerk had a change of venue this year. DeVos is now the new home of the Nykerk tradition, and as expected, …
‘Twas the night before snow….
I had gone to bed the night before listening to snowflakes drifting into my window, like clouds of silver flies swarming mutely around a lit lamp. The light from the street lamp outside was flecked with the tiny of airborne ice, soft grey shadows against latte-white light. I wondered how many feet of snow …
Cooking on a College Budget
Eating, it’s activity! But cooking in college can seem a little stressful. So, whether you’re currently in college, or you’re a high school student, I thought it would be fun to share some recipes from a few of my goods friends.

A Spectator’s Perspective: Nykerk 2014!
This year’s Nykerk competition has come and gone, and it was definitely a night to remember! It was the first time Nykerk had ever been held in the DeVos Fieldhouse, which definitely gave it a different feel than it had in the Holland Civic Center last year. I really liked having it in DeVos and …
Fly-in Weekend Coming Full Circle

God’s Kingdom is in My Foot.
“I am free to run, I am free to dance; I am free to live for You, I am free” The words rung through the walls of church on Sunday morning during worship as I leaned on my crutches, unable to bear weight on my left foot, which I found out last week was broken …
Nykerk in Under 400 Words
For those of you wondering…what even is Nykerk? This is Nykerk (from a song-girl’s perspective) in less than 400 words. Words that collectively make me think Nykerk as a big picture are song, play, oration, women, family, morale, and coaches. Basically it’s a big competition between the sophomore and freshmen women who are coached by the seniors …
Shenanigans
Hey folks! It’s been a while since I’ve blogged. I’m so sorry about that, but here I am blogging away! The past two weeks have been hectic especially with school at full speed ahead. The weeks are really flying by which is scary because that’s just getting closer to graduation! Anyway, I’d like to share …
