Although there are three Mikes that live on the second floor of Kollen 2 East, us girls of Kollen 1 West aren’t looking for any of them. Our real search is for a three foot tall, green, one-eyed Mike — Mike Wazowski. It all begins about a week and a half ago when we celebrated …

A Week at a Glance
Hey all! Are you wondering about all the goings-on going on at Hope during the week? Here’s a glimpse of what my pals from Kollen 1 West and I have been up to: Last Sunday, Sept. 15, it was Gloria’s birthday (she lives right across the hall from me!) So, three girls from my floor …
Hopping into Hope!
Hey all! Let me introduce myself. My name is Sophie Guetzko, and along with Kathryn Krieger, I’m one of two freshman bloggers for Hope! I’m psyched for all that God has waiting for me here on campus. I’m from Manchester, Iowa, a small town about two hours and fifteen minutes north of Des Moines. Let …
My Birthday Weekend
So, it’s that time of year when housing is on everybody’s minds, everyone is taking midterms, and people are just in need of Spring Break.

On campus today as part of the National Girls and Women in Sports Day, two visitors graced Hope’s campus. You’re probably wondering whom I’m talking about. Well, Doris Cook and Rosemary Stevenson visited Maas Auditorium today at 11 AM to talk about their experience playing baseball in the All-American Girls Baseball League in the 40s …
What to Do…
Winter in the Midwest usually consists of snow… apparently not this year. Holland has received the most pathetic amount of snow this season… it’s unbelievable. Some people may love it, but others are downright upset about it. There’s no opportunity to go sledding, play hockey, or make snow angels! Sooner or later, it will snow …
Some Recent Disasters
As all of you are aware, there was a serious shooting in Newtown, Connecticut over our break, which absolutely breaks my heart. Just the fact that there was an unnecessary shooting makes me feel extremely sympathetic for those who lost their loved ones, but the fact that the shooting was at an elementary school where …
