But the musical itself is one you won’t want to miss. Filled with hilarious satire, musical numbers, and, who …

Thoughts from Places: Dykstra Hall Cluster 3-1

Hi everyone! I enjoy watching John and Hank Green’s YouTube videos on their channel called the Vlogbrothers. Occasionally they will do “Thoughts from Places” videos in which they detail the things going through their minds as they travel to various places. I thought that I would put my own twist on the Thoughts from Places, …

The First Snowfall of the Year!

Whether we like it or not, Mother Nature made an appearance to Holland and the greater West Michigan area. The snow is here folks, and it’s here to stay until the spring. People have and will continue to complain about, and some people will obsess over it, but as for myself, I’m in the middle. …

I’m wiping my brow as I type this. Okay, not really. I’m sure you get the point, though; the last week has been absolutely busy. College, it’s crazy. I must say, however, that it’s an enjoyable busy if you’re able to divide your time evenly between the things you have to do. 1. School – …

Passion Worship: Let It Be Jesus #TakeItAllTour

“I just wanna know– what are some fun things that happen off-campus that Hope students attend, but aren’t directly associated with Hope College?
