As Told By Instagram [Part 3]

Hey everybody! Just wanted to share a few more photos from my Instagram! One night some of my friends and I went to Captain Sundae for some ice cream. I was pretty excited about my pumpkin pie flurry. Here are all the lovely girls that went to Captain Sundae that night! We had a great …

Tour of Dykstra!

I live in Dykstra Hall, and it’s a little different from all the other dorms on campus because it’s the only one that’s in a cluster format. There are several little living room areas on every floor, all surrounded by dorm rooms. Each cluster either has its own bathroom or shares a bathroom with the …

Online Shopping… For the college student’s budget!

In my cluster I am known for my thrifty online shopping… As evidenced by this poster that one of my lovely friends made and hung up in the cluster bathroom. I love finding good deals online so that I can get new things without breaking the very limited college student’s bank. It’s kind of exciting …

Sick at school.

Hi everyone! I got sick over Fall Break and, unfortunately, have carried that over into this week at school. I have spent most of the last three days back at Hope either napping in my bed or sleeping on the couch out in my cluster… Usually during the wee hours of the morning. I like …

Hi everyone! I hope you’ve all had a lovely week so far! I am leaving to go to Indiana for my brother’s wedding tomorrow and I am so excited! I love being in Holland but I can’t wait to see my family and celebrate such a great day! In the meantime, I wanted to share …

A Weekend to Remember + MY FIRST PULL!

It has been quite the weekend here at Hope (in the best way)! Friday started off for me with a trip to Grand Rapids Community College to attend a voice master class featuring John Wustman. Going into it, I had no idea what to expect, but it was an awesome experience! Seven extremely talented college …

Applying to Hope

As I’m sure all high school seniors are aware, college application season is fully upon us. For many seniors, this is accompanied by more stress than seems humanly possible, but it doesn’t have to be that way! While applying to schools is nerve-wracking for everyone, planning ahead a little bit can alleviate a good amount …
