We have monthly membership events at various members venues, for instance, last month we had a membership event at Lou Malnati’s where we were able to network with prominent Michigan Avenue business while eating pizza and tiramisu. Not a bad deal! Another …

What It’s Like to Work From Home
Working from home. The dream, right? No commute. No long drives to the office. No early-morning wake-up calls. No cubicle, no boss hovering over your shoulder, but definitely a cup of coffee in hand, sweatpants, no shoes, curled up in a blanket. Or, short of that, holed up in the corner of a cute little …
All About That Brotherly Love
As much as I love my dear Chicago, I said goodbye this weekend and headed out to check out the hype behind all that brotherly love, aka, Philadelphia. My roommate for the past three years is doing a similar program to The Chicago Semester but based out of Philly, called The Philadelphia Center. So, this …
Getting My ‘Tourist’ On
Working 9-5 almost every day definitely has made me appreciate weekends even more and especially being in the city there’s a lot of pressure to be out and doing fun things all the time. So this past weekend my roommate, Dori, and I decided we were going to make the most of our Saturday and …
Working Girl
Even though I drafted my last post about a week ago, it seriously feels like it’s been months since I’ve posted! Our days are so busy that it often feels like a full week within one day. Thankfully, that’s exactly what I was hoping when I moved out to the city so it’s been perfect! In my …
Exploring Chicago, Week One
PREVIOUSLY ON #CHICAGOKATHRYN… So, here’s a quick recap of my weird, exciting life that I love. I’m spending this semester living in Chicago and working as the worship arts intern at Community Christian Church Lincoln Park/Old Town.

Week One in the City
Well, guys, I made it to Chi-Town and let me tell you, it has already been so much fun! I feel like I don’t have much credibility after only a week, but I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about the Chicago Semester. My first week has totally been a whirlwind, but I’ll give you guys a …
And We Back. Just Kidding, We’re in Chicago.
Hello, everyone! I’m back for my last semester of college (and student blogging) but I’m not actually back… I’m in Chicago studying through the Chicago Semester! I’ve moved into my teeny tiny apartment, I’ve landed an internship I’m stoked about (and figured out how to get there), I’ve set off the fire alarm in my apartment …

Hi Guys! This is my first ever blog post for the Hope College Blog Network! But while I may be new to blogging, I’m actually rather old to Hope College, as I will be a senior this upcoming school year. Before I get into why I’m blogging and what this year holds for me, I’ll …

Finally Home
I am back to my sweet Michigan home! Four months was a long time to be away, but I’m finally back in my house, my room, and my life. It was missed. The journey on Saturday was long, as my six-hour flight into Toronto, Canada, was followed up by a three-hour drive back to Detroit, …
