Well, this past month has been packed with so many fun events so I thought I would just show some of the highlights with pictures.

Looking Forward to Summer
How time flies! Crazy to think that tomorrow is the last day of classes for my junior year. In some ways I feel sad that the year is coming to an end.

Spring Break 2014 in California
Welcome back everyone! As mentioned in my last blog post, we just had Spring Break, which was greatly needed. This year I went home to California and brought my friend Lauren with me.

Hope Habits at Home~ Differences Between Hope Life and Home Life
Now that I’ve been back at Hope for almost a week, I’m giggling about this draft I wrote a while ago. Throughout break, I made some pretty hilarious realizations regarding the differences between Hope life and home life. As the cliche says, old (and relatively new) habits die hard. Here’s a few of the struggles …
