Hello everybody! Another wonderful week at Hope College has almost passed. This was not any normal week, but it was FALL BREAK! We didn’t have class on Monday or Tuesday, so me and 8 other of my friends decided to go camping at Sleeping Bear Dunes! Not only was it the most fun I had ever …

OSU or MSU?
Hey Everyone! Sorry for my delays with blogging; these past couple of weeks have been crazy busy. Last weekend my parents came to visit me in Holland. I was so happy to see them. I’m not going home for fall break, so I’m glad I was able to spend some time with them. On Friday …
1-5 Perfection
This past weekend I had the opportunity to witness the 115th Pull at the Black River in Holland, MI. The Pull, which is the oldest, and most intense, college tradition in the nation, brings together Hope College students, faculty, alumni, and family to cheer on freshmen and sophomore students during this big tug of war. …
Class of 2015 Pulls ahead….for the second time!
This weekend was the 115th annual Pull. One of Hope’s most unique traditions (in my opinion), the Pull, is often viewed as a giant game of tug-of-war between the freshman and sophomore classes at Hope.

Considering Barca was undefeated at 5-0 coming into town, Sevilla was definitely considered the underdogs, despite having the home pitch advantage. However, previous to this matchup, Sevilla’s defense had only allowed 2 goals in …

Opportunities
Opportunities are all around us, so the question is: will we take advantage of the opportunities that we are given? At Hope College, students have the ability to use different services that entail more than academic help such as tutoring and advising.

Sagres, Portugal
This last weekend, I, along with nearly 80 other Americans, took a bus and several vans to Sagres, Portugal. Sagres is a small pueblo outside Lagos. It sits on the Atlantic, with marvelous views from the surrounding hills and oceanside cliffs. After a 3-hour bus ride, we arrived just in time to hike the cliffs …
