Beach photos. Tan, with ice cream cones dripping in their henna-tattooed hands. Driving a dune buggy and soaking up some rays. No, I wasn’t on vacation this past week, but I sure saw a lot of pictures from people who were. I was at home, taking pictures of my breakfast and my cat and dog, …

Top 5 Things!
With Spring Break fast approaching, it’s starting to hit me that my college days are coming to an end. In fact, 59 days from now, I will be a graduate of Hope College. I just have so many mixed emotions about leaving this place. On one hand, I can’t wait to graduate and never take …
My 22nd Birthday!!
Woohooo, it’s finally March! Besides the fact that it means that spring is almost here, it’s also my birthday month. It’s actually today, so I thought I would dedicate this blog to the awesome friends that have made today absolutely amazing! Let me first begin with last night! My apartment as well as a few …
Why Drinking a Slushie in 7 Degree Weather Was Good For My Ego
I was drinking a slushie today in the parking lot of Holland State Park. I know that sounds kind of weird, but it’s actually an experience I take part in on a semi-regular basis. It was a 20 oz ICEE, to be exact, and it was one sale for only $1 from the Meijer convenient …

Dance 41!!!
Can you believe February is nearly over? I know I can’t believe it. Another thing I can’t believe is that graduation is only 65 days away! I picked up my cap and gown for the big day yesterday and that certainly felt like a surreal thing. I don’t feel like I’m old enough to be …
Things I’d Rather Do
Happy Thursday! This week seemed to have flown by, at least for me. However, today was a complete drag, mostly because it was so cold outside, that I was dreading leaving my cozy apartment. I woke up this morning, convinced that Hope would cancel class because it was so ridiculously chilly, but unfortunately that email …

Hold on for just a second, count it up slowly. Only 7,423 days of my life have passed. If I’m lucky, I can plan for at least 29,209 more (that’s age 100). That’s a lot of days, a lot of changes, and a lot of growth (to think that at one point in my life …
It’s Past 1 AM, and I’m Overwhelmed – But Not in a Bad Way
It’s past 1 AM and I have an unfinished Research Synthesis paper due tomorrow at 11 AM. I’m sipping on half of a cup of cold coffee and have a Patagonia sweatshirt tied around my neck like a cape. I’m sitting in the sunroom of my cottage, which can hardly be called a sunroom at …

Five Movies We Really Should Be More Stoked For
5. Chappie. A coming of age story set in a grim future featuring a robot with a name so saccharine it would give a Gummi bear diabetes. Its 2016, and a robot police force controlled by corrupt and vindictive officers rules with an iron fist. A young scientist creates a machine capable of empathy and …

Mid-Winter Break Excursions
This week sure flew by! I’ve spent more time in Chicago this week than Michigan, mainly because it was our mid-winter break. Instead of sitting around Holland while all of my friends went home, I decided to make my own plans with friends and family. This was probably one of the most jam-packed weekends I’ve …
