I moved back into Hope last week, and I’ve been really enjoying my time here so far. I’ve loved living in a house, practicing each day for worship team, going to the beach, decorating my house little by little, buying beautiful flowers at the Farmers Market, and so much more. One thing I really look …

Camp, God, and Mysteries
It’s currently 9:31 a.m. on Saturday morning. Right now, I should be telling parents how much money their camper has left in their canteen account (which is, 90% of the time, a whopping zero dollars), whether or not they need to talk to the camp nurse, and where they can pick up their luggage. If …
My Hope College Bucket List
You guys, college is so great. There is so much to do and there are so many things to learn and it’s just a great time of life. I have gotten to do so many awesome things since being at Hope, but there are still so many more that I want to do! Here is …
Planning for August in a Busy July
Man, it really seems like school can start to sneak up on you fast, doesn’t it? I am enjoying the summer working at Covenant Harbor Bible Camp, so I am pretty busy most of the time. Camp is the best, but there is not a ton of downtime. I only have a few days in …
Four Down, Three To Go.
It’s incredibly weird to think that I am officially done with my sophomore year at Hope. I can’t really explain it, but it’s gone so fast and so slow at the same time. In the past year I have met so many people, fallen in love with so many things, been met with so many …
Lessons from Intro to World Religions
This semester, I am in a class called Intro to World Religions. It is a required class for my major, and it’s pretty far outside the area of my previous experience and study. I did not know very much about a lot of religions before taking this class, but I have learned a lot of …
Why I Love Chapel at Hope
Hope’s Chapel is unlike anything I have ever seen. It is not required for students to attend, but it is often filled with so many students and faculty that we have to sit and stand in the aisles because no seats are left. There are three 20-minute chapel services throughout the weekdays, and a 75-ish …
Dorm Room Food
I don’t know about you guys (but I could probably guess…), but I love to eat. I snack more often than I probably should. I usually keep a decent amount of food in my dorm room. It’s always the times that I decide not to grocery shop that I need a snack to keep me …
Spring Break in the Carolinas
This spring break, I got to go on tour with Hope’s Chapel Choir to North and South Carolina. I had never been there before, so it was a really cool experience! I love the Carolinas now and it was cool to see how our sound progressed and changed in each new venue each night. We …
How to Make Money in College
The “broke college student” thing is real. I watch my money pretty carefully to make sure I always have enough to pay for groceries, school, the occasional coffee run, gas, etc. I actually really like being able to take care of that stuff on my own and not needing to ask my parents for money, …
