I’m home, I’m home (for a little over three weeks)! The place I call home? Troy, a suburb located outside of Detroit. I spent a lot of time in Detroit growing up with both of my parents working in the city. I was actually born down there and went to day-care there! Occasionally, when I tell people …

Post-Thanksgiving Coma
Happy Black Friday to all! Now that I am slowly waking up from my Thanksgiving coma from last night, I thought I’d write about my experiences you all. First off, Thanksgiving is one of the best holidays (other than Christmas, of course). This year in particular, I am extremely thankful for my family. Even though …
Red, Read.
Red hair review, read book review. There’s not much more “red/read” around here than this. 1. Goldilocks turned to Little Red Riding Hood. Over the weekend, I went home (all the way to Iowa) and while I was visiting my family, I decided to dye my hair red. See ya later, blonde hair. Hello, red. …
The Fall Break Fridge Frenzy, featuring Fantastic Food

It’s a Blast to be in a Cast
Alright, it’s been a couple weeks since my post about May Term, and enough is enough. I can’t say that everything about May term was absolutely fantastic. Or maybe I can. But I really can’t. But I kind of can. Here, let me explain… Two weeks into May Term, I went for a walk with …
Hope Habits at Home~ Differences Between Hope Life and Home Life
Now that I’ve been back at Hope for almost a week, I’m giggling about this draft I wrote a while ago. Throughout break, I made some pretty hilarious realizations regarding the differences between Hope life and home life. As the cliche says, old (and relatively new) habits die hard. Here’s a few of the struggles …

Thankful for more than just Thanksgiving
There’s something about being a college student that has taken me from being half-full thankful to overflowing thankful. Maybe it’s the friends I’ve made, the professors I’ve had, or the fact that my family is so far away (which makes seeing them that much more important!) Regardless, I know my experience as a college student …
