Hello, Readers! Aren’t Thursdays just wonderful? I love the fact that it’s one day closer to Friday. Friday is a great day for many reasons: 1. Delight Ministries at 7 a.m. 2. The start of weekend fun. 3. I get to work at my favorite place in the world, the Career Development Center! What is …

My mom would probably disagree with this, but I do not feel like I have ever been a super-inquisitive person. I have a tendency to take most things at face value. I will think about things and make up my mind about whether or not I agree with them, but I have just never been …
Dear Hope, It’s hard to believe that our third week of classes has already come to a close. Since the start of term, the hours that once felt like days, now pass in a blink of an eye. As I sit at my desk, with my grubby Cubs hat (aka my thinking cap) perched upon …
When I first wrote this post, it took me about five hours to complete and was over 5,000 words. That meant 99.99% of you would never read it, and most professors would most likely skim.

There’s officially 11 school days left in this academic year and I have quite a few mixed emotions about that. On the one hand, I’m so excited to be graduating and moving on to other schooling and adventures. However, I’m going to miss the comfort that Hope has provided me, as well as seeing all …
The past few weeks, my fellow blogger Marvin Solberg has done some awesome posts on being a senior in college. This week, I wanted to add on to his most recent post about being ready to graduate college. Hope College has been an amazing place to spend the past several years. I am constantly reminded that …
As of today, there are 34 days left until commencement (probably the first thing seniors do not want to hear). I feel as if college seniors get asked what their future plans are during the beginning and end of the school year. At the beginning of this academic year, I posted a blog title, “Things …

There are times we wait for courage, but it never really comes. Sometimes we wait for peace, or pure knowledge, or steadfast trust, but we lack the capacity with our mind and heart to accept it.
