This semester, I did a lot of adventuring. It’s one of my new favorite things. I’ve been coming to Holland since I was 10 years old, but there’s always so much more to explore and discover! Here are some of my favorite places I went for the first time this semester! Jumpin’ Java Over Fall …

Vespers 2014 Recap!
Well everyone, I was supposed to sing in Christmas Vespers, but that didn’t happen due to my ongoing recuperation from a vocal chord nodule. Then, I was supposed to go watch Vespers on Saturday night, but that didn’t happen due to a debilitating migraine that kept me in bed all day. I guess Vespers and …
Tunes to make you groove instead of crying about finals.
Finals week is almost upon us! Maybe I’m just really weird, but I actually kind of like finals week. It usually seems a lot more laid-back than the rest of the semester because there’s no class or homework, just tests, papers, and lots of studying at your own pace and in your own timing. One …

20 is already treating me well.
I am old. Not really, but I have entered a new decade! Monday was my birthday and to be honest, I was not super excited about it. I wasn’t feeling that well, I have a lot of papers and projects coming up, I had an exam, and I had activities that I enjoy, but that would …

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 …
You have my attention.
Today my world was completely rocked before 11 in the morning. And I needed it. As you may know if you read my last blog post, I am currently on day six of a week-long (at least) stint of vocal rest. Believe it or not, I have found a few perks that come with silence, but …
The Singer Without a Voice
Since the beginning of the semester, I’ve felt a little weird. The day after residents moved in at the end of August, my voice got really hoarse. After a few days, it backed off a little bit, but it hasn’t ever felt right since. The upper part of my range is far weaker than normal, …
Merch for a Mission: Serengetee!
Two things I love that are very different from each other: 1. Helping others 2. Clothing (Yep, typical.) So, I was pretty pumped last year at Hope when I found out that there’s a super cool company that combines both of these things. Serengetee purchases unique fabrics from around the world and uses them to create …
