What College Seniors DON’T Want To Hear
Yep, unfortunately/fortunately it’s my senior year here at Hope College. Before starting school, I was so stoked and am already looking forward to graduation (May 3rd).

Oh my goodness, just one more Monday after this one. It’s crazy to believe that the school year is finally winding down. When you, the new admitted students, come to Hope, your time will fly by. Make every second count! It’s hard for me to believe that I’m going to be a senior nursing major …
College 101: Staying Organized
In college, it’ll make or break you. Your ability to stay organized as a student could be the difference from an A- to an A, or maybe even a B+ to an A in a class. And because of that reason (grades), and many others, it is really important to live an organized life. So …
