I’ve been home for the past few days, but on Wednesday, I woke up in Holland. And I met my dad for coffee downtown on 8th Street, at 8 AM, where snow abounded, but the sidewalks were clear. Whoever implemented the heated sidewalks, I applaud you for your insight. You’re the real MVP. I picked …

Sushi… It’d be easier with a fork
“Stop it, stop, can you please NOT pick them up with your hands? You’re grossing me out.” “I don’t even know what that is.” “Yum. Yum, yum, yum.” “Mmmm, that’s really good. Yeah, I like it.” “Crab? That’s crab? You just told me it was salmon!” “Guys, I really like this, it’s really good! Can …
#HopeHomecoming
Hope College Homecoming was last weekend, and it was tons of fun! As a super senior, homecoming was a little more important to me than what it’s been in previous years. It was great to see so many people that I started college with back on campus. Homecoming started off with a great volleyball game …
Fall Break
Did I just have a fall break? I did not do anything yet! I think the fall break was too short, but one of my friends cheered me up by saying, “Think about this, we have only three days this week!” Attitude matters! I just feel it was weird that I had the Monday schedule …

What’s Been Happening at Hope!
Hello, everyone! Hope you have been enjoying this week of beautiful weather. As I sat down to blog tonight, I considered my different topic options. While I could probably post something about success in college (or some helpful hints) I thought it might be nice just to share what I have been up to recently. …
Time to Serve
Today marks just over a month that I have lived in this beautiful place called Hope College. Reflecting, I amazed by all that has happened in such a short amount of time. One of the many wonderful happenings was on my second Saturday here – Time to Serve. During Orientation weekend our small group leaders passed around a …
As Fresh As It Gets
There are many, many things I love about Holland: The beach. The parks. The donuts. But I think there might be one thing I love most of all… The farmers’ market. My main purchases at the farmers’ market are usually flowers, but I have also purchased fruit and veggies there in the past and they’re …
