Today is Ash Wednesday. That means a lot of different things to different people. Some are recovering from yesterday’s Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras celebration. Others are introspective about their faith and their communication with the Lord. Others don’t have an opinion. I’m back and forth about religion. I am a Christian, but I don’t …
I’m not going to lie. There are definite perks of dating a Cuban/Nicaraguan/Chinese chef. Actually, there are infinite perks. I never cook. If I did, you wouldn’t like it. But, I’ve never had to worry about what I was going to eat, because I’ve been dating a CHEF. Yep. If you can’t cook, it’s the …

Downtown Holland is decorated, the tree is up in our suite, and Christmas lights adorn our bathroom mirror. This is also the busiest …
I’m taking a social psychology class taught by Professor Mary Inman, and although it’s a half-semester class, I’m learning an abundant amount of really cool information. One thing I thought I’d share with you is a concept we learned yesterday. Maybe you already know about it. I understood the feelings but never knew there was …
On August 7th, I accompanied my freshman roommates (and now roommate and suitemate) to a Coldplay concert at the United Center in Chicago. My suitemate is obsessed (to put it lightly) with Coldplay, and when she found out they would be in Chicago, we were the first to know! The concert was incredible, and we …
