This truly makes me sad to say that the last intramural season I will ever participate in at Hope has just started. Intramurals have really been such a highlight for me through my four years here and I honestly will miss playing various sports and hanging out with friends. This season, I’m playing co-ed soccer and …

Healthy College Dorm Snacks
I’ve learned throughout the year how important it is to be healthy at this time in my life. No one is around to moderate the health value of the things you’re putting into your body. At Hope I’ve learned to not only value my education and classes, but also my body and my mind. It’s …
Things Seniors (STILL) Don’t Want To Hear
As of today, there are 34 days left until commencement (probably the first thing seniors do not want to hear). I feel as if college seniors get asked what their future plans are during the beginning and end of the school year. At the beginning of this academic year, I posted a blog title, “Things …

Being Happy Where You Are
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, …

In my English class we’ve been reading poems – a lot of them. We’re now doing projects on a poet, and I chose to do Marge Piercy, a poet that we read about in our textbook. One of her poems that I came across really spoke to me. It’s called “For the young who want …
Job or No Job?
I’ve been getting quite a few questions about getting jobs on campus, so I thought it would be very beneficial if I posted about it and shared it with everyone! So here’s the question: Should I get a job in college? You have several options which is the great thing. When I was a freshman, …
We All Fail
You read my title right, we all fail. I challenge you to say this phrase out loud three times before continuing reading this blog post. “I have failed.” It’s hard to admit. Even though we have so many successes, it is also important to recognize our failures. Without recognizing our failures, how will we be …
