The Five People You Meet at Hope
Throughout my two years (!!!) at Hope, I have had the great blessing of meeting all sorts of people from a variety of backgrounds. However, it didn’t take long for me to notice that there some characteristics that several Hope students seem to have. Keep in mind that not all students fit into these categories …
Fun-filled weekend!
Hello Everyone! I’m writing this blog while sipping my favorite latté from JP’s, the coffee shop located downtown right next to campus. It has been raining all day so it is nice to escape the weather and sit inside a cozy coffee shop with some friends. I really enjoy studying in coffee shops because the …
Spring Break Memories
This past Spring Break, I had one of the most incredible experiences of my life. As you may have read in one of my previous posts, I was blessed with the opportunity to lead an immersion trip to East Palo Alto, California. Describing the entire trip would take me many, many blog posts, so instead …

As the school year is beginning to wind down with only four more weeks left of classes, I thought I would write about some things I have enjoyed about being a junior.

Seeking Spring Semester Sanity
Well prospies, spring semester will always get you. It’s the busiest, shortest, most fun, but most stressful time of year. With breaks every few weeks, it never feels like your in class for long. Tests creep up on you super fast and you NEVER have the long, relaxing experience of fall semester, though both the …
Experience the National Tournament 2013
Hope College hockey qualified for the ACHA D-III National Tournament this year, for the twelfth consecutive season. This is no small feat—considering that only sixteen teams in the entire country get the opportunity to play for the grand prize. Not to mention that each region of the country contributes four teams, limiting the competitive North …
A Springtime Poem
As the snow and ice finally begin to melt on campus, the new signs of spring are showing up. I’ve been seeing plants peaking out from the ground and buds starting to grow on trees. All of this makes me very happy because spring is my favorite season! While I was walking through the aisles …
