It has been exactly a week now since Steph and I completed the Grand Rapids Marathon. After 26.2 miles of running we crossed the finish line. All of the hours of training had finally paid off and an item got crossed off my bucket list. I do not think I have ever felt so accomplished …

A creative weekend!
I’ve been in a super creative mood all weekend. I’m not really sure why. Maybe because I’ve had such a laidback week so I feel like I need to do something productive with my time now. Honestly, I’m pretty sure I’ve gotten more sleep in the past week than the average college student gets in …
As Told By Instagram [Part 3]
Hey everybody! Just wanted to share a few more photos from my Instagram! One night some of my friends and I went to Captain Sundae for some ice cream. I was pretty excited about my pumpkin pie flurry. Here are all the lovely girls that went to Captain Sundae that night! We had a great …
Another Week at Hope
Hello everyone! Another week is finished, and the weekend has arrived. This past week has been pretty busy; however, I still had time to do some fun things that I would love to share with you. Last Friday night, I went with a group of friends to the Hope vs. Calvin volleyball game. Calvin’s volleyball …
The Nursing Major
I’m not trying to be biased or anything, but the Nursing Major at Hope College is one of the most rigorous majors, and it is very competitive. It is awesome in this aspect because it provides a structured class schedule so you’re all set with a four year plan. In this blog, I’m going to …
#sNOw
If you have been following me or any of the other Hope bloggers on Twitter, you are probably aware of what happened on Thursday. If this is sounding new, let me bring you up to speed: it snowed. I repeat, it SNOWED. In OCTOBER. As a Kansas-born, Michigan-bred girl, I am no stranger to winter …
Big School vs. Little School
I know it’s beyond Wednesday, so this week is practically over. But, I just wanted to share with all of you my experiences from last weekend! So, Friday, October 18th, one of my best buddies and I left Holland, MI and road-tripped to Ann Arbor, the home of the University of Michigan main campus. I’m …
Tour of Dykstra!
I live in Dykstra Hall, and it’s a little different from all the other dorms on campus because it’s the only one that’s in a cluster format. There are several little living room areas on every floor, all surrounded by dorm rooms. Each cluster either has its own bathroom or shares a bathroom with the …
Fall Break Memories
Last year I thought it would be so cool to only have one class from 12:00 – 12:50 on Fridays. I could sleep in, go to class, and be done for the day in less than an hour. I didn’t realize until last Friday that I probably should have just scheduled more classes on Friday, …
Online Shopping… For the college student’s budget!
In my cluster I am known for my thrifty online shopping… As evidenced by this poster that one of my lovely friends made and hung up in the cluster bathroom. I love finding good deals online so that I can get new things without breaking the very limited college student’s bank. It’s kind of exciting …
