Hello everyone! In case you didn’t know, Hope students didn’t have classes the last two days, giving us what we call fall break! I went home on Friday and returned this afternoon. This was my first weekend home, so I was super excited. Yet I had my fears, what if I didn’t want to come back …

A Lifetime Accomplishment
Hello friends! I am very excited to share with you awesome news. This past weekend, I ran AND completed the Park2Park Half Marathon here in Holland! So yes, this was definitely the highlight of my weekend. After more than 200 miles of training, I crossed that finish line exhausted, in pain, but happy. No one …
One Month In
Time flies when you’re at college, right? Well, it sure does for me. I mean, we are already more than one month in for Fall Semester. What’s even scarier for me is that I am a senior, and next week is October. Crazy. During my first month at Hope, a lot has happened! For starters, …
Euroadventure 2
Ok friends! So a while back, I posted about some of my European travels and said that I would post them in differing sections, almost like a series! If you haven’t read my first one, click here so you can get all caught up! Anyway, for this second post, it’s all about Budapest, Hungary and …
Schaap Science Center VLOG!
Hey friends! It’s that time again! Fellow admissions blogger Leslie Kempers and myself give you a virtual tour of the A. Paul Schaap Science Center. This building is a special one for the both of us because both of our majors are “based” from this amazing facility! We hope you enjoy it, and when you …
Technology… To Use or Not To Use
Before getting too far into this post I just need to say one thing about school and a particular piece of technology. And, here it is: when you’re in class, put your phone AWAY! While I believe that technology can be beneficial in the classroom, I know that texting your roommate about dinner plans is …
It Feels Like Fall Semester (Finally)
One thing I noticed since I started blogging for this school year was that I haven’t talked about my first three weeks. Wow, that shows you that I’m still in summer mode. It’s definitely a hard transition, but it happens every year. Crazy to think that my next big “adjustment” will be from college to …

Hello readers! Fellow blogger Leslie Kempers and I are pleased to announce a new collaboration we have just for you! We will be posting video blogs, or VLOGS, about buildings around campus! Consider it your personal “virtual tour” of Hope College! Getting video footage is great, so you can get familiar with the campus. Then, …
Breaking out of the Bubble to Grow :)
I have been on Hope’s campus for about 21 days now and already I am in love with this bubble. The beautiful campus, the hammocks in the Pine Grove, the always present squirrels (oh so many squirrels)—everything about it is wonderful. In addition to that, I am always around the academic minded, a vastly Christian …
Hope College SAC
Many students here at Hope College are really involved in not only their academics, but also in many social aspects of school. One important organization I am involved in (and I’m not saying it’s important because I’m in it) is Student Activities Committee, or SAC for short. This organization is a backbone to student life …
