Sick at school.

Hi everyone! I got sick over Fall Break and, unfortunately, have carried that over into this week at school. I have spent most of the last three days back at Hope either napping in my bed or sleeping on the couch out in my cluster… Usually during the wee hours of the morning. I like …

A Fun Fall Break!

Hello all 🙂 I was fortunate enough to go home to Iowa over fall break, which started last Friday and ended on Wednesday morning. My first activity at home was going to my sister Priscilla’s high school football game on Friday night. She had told me earlier that there is a superstar player on the …

Instead of homework…

It’s my first night back from Fall Break and I am done with my homework relatively early, which is great since I am a little sick so I need as much sleep as I can get. But instead of going to bed right away, right now I’m finding myself a little distracted by the huge …

There are always new people to meet, but I can always return to my same group of people. Also, because we are liberal arts, you …

NYKERK!!!

I can barely contain my excitement. After almost a year of waiting (I started counting down the days the day after it occurred last year), my favorite time of the year is upon us. NYKERK TIME. Nykerk is a competition between the freshman and sophomore women in three categories: song, play and oration. It was …
