Bring on the Future….

One thing I absolutely LOVE about Hope College: Professors CARE. Going to smaller school really allows you to get to know your professors and your fellow classmates a lot better. There are always new people to meet, but I can always return to my same group of people. Also, because we are liberal arts, you …

We’re in Wisconsin

Last weekend, my roommate REALLY wanted to go home. It was her small town’s harvest festival in the middle of Wisconsin. She was nice enough to invite student blogger, Marv, and I along. As lovers of all things fried and cheesy, we had to accept the invitation. As we move into the second month of …

Learning about being a Sushi.

This year I have a fabulous opportunity to be a teacher’s assistant for one of my good friends, Professor Linda Strouf. Her First-Year Seminar class is entitled: “Who am I? and Who are the others?”. The focus of the course is for first-year students to think about finding the “other” within themselves and to wrestle …

Junior Year Has Come!

Welcome back to Hope! So glad you are with me again, for the third year in a row. We are certainly in the grind here on campus, getting into our new classes, labs, research, and projects. Everyone is finally settling into their schedules and learning how their time-management is best organized. It is now my …

TEDx = Totally Terrific

Well, if you want to be completely depressed about your life and how little you’ve accomplished, check out Adora Svitak. She also has a lot of very potent and truthful things to say. Her topics and speches will definitely give you something to chew on throughout the day.  Where did I hear about Adora? TEDx …

My life in slow motion.

SO!…. I’ve been so busy the past month, I can’t believe that I’ve been back in Holland a MONTH already. That seems ridiculous.  Here are the some of the highlights of my past month: My Mom and Sister came to visit me in Holland! I can use my meal plan now at the Kletz because …

Now that I’m a sorority girl….

Last weekend I had a ball. Literally. Well kind of. The Thetas headed to Grand Rapids to have a formal dance/dinner at the Hilton Hotel. It was so much fun and I am blessed to have such amazing sisters. After talking to a lot of them, I wouldn’t have even met them having not found …

Seeking Spring Semester Sanity

Well prospies, spring semester will always get you. It’s the busiest, shortest, most fun, but most stressful time of year. With breaks every few weeks, it never feels like your in class for long. Tests creep up on you super fast and you NEVER have the long, relaxing experience of fall semester, though both the …

Theta Gamma Pi ϴГП

I went to Round Robin as a joke. It’s the traditional beginning of spring Greek Life rush at Hope College. Most of my friends are Greek, and I thought I might as well enjoy myself for a couple of hours hobbling around [remember hip surgery?] and laughing at sorority girls. I surprisingly got caught up …
