Alright, Readers, I’m going to let you in on a secret that I just figured out this past week: planning travel is hard work! This weekend I have the privilege of traveling to Scotland (!!!!) which is so so exciting. However, saying that is one thing, but planning it and carrying through is completely another. I’ve discovered that there are a lot of details to think about when traveling.

Okay, so this might not exactly be Hope’s greatest mystery, BUT it (more accurately, he) was definitely a mystery at least to me for a while. After my freshman year at Hope, the college hired a new chaplain of worship and arts: Bruce Benedict. As a frequent Chapel-goer and someone who was definitely interested in joining Hope’s worship team at some point, I did the obvious, and I googled him.

A semester and a half into Hope and I noticed something very peculiar. It seems that wherever I look now, I see the Anchor, Hope’s emblem and an important piece of Hope’s history. The Anchor that rests in front of Graves Hall. According to Hope’s official website : “Our name and seal are drawn from our founder, the Rev. Albertus C.

I spent this past weekend with my friend Ashley in her hometown of Grand Haven. It happened to be the weekend of Winterfest , in which there are all kinds of activities from human sled races (people pulling a dog sled) to a hamster and gerbil race at the local YMCA.

Hello Readers and happy Monday! I hope your week is off to a great start and you enjoyed all the awesome events Hope had to offer over the weekend.

Where has the time gone? I’m three weeks into my final semester at Hope. They say if you blink you might miss it, so I’m doing my best to keep my eyes wide open to capture every moment I can. Four years goes fast. And if you complete college in three years (like myself), it goes even faster. I remember getting that letter in the mail in the summer after my senior year of high school, reading “you’ve transferred 37 credits.” I remember dodging re-signing up for Gen E

As a first year student here at Hope College, I have had the opportunity to meet some pretty awesome people. From the soccer players, to Young Life leaders, and even the school chaplains; I feel like I know some of the most important people on campus. One of those important people is a buddy of mine named Sam Starks. Sam is the type of guy that everyone on campus knows, but in the good way.

College Essay Topic. It is a dilemma of every student applying to college. Is there a “good” or “bad” topic? A college essay is a place where the admission representative has a chance to “meet” the applicant more closely. That being said, what is it that make a college essay successful? “ A successful essay will reveal something about you that the admissions reader may not have already known, and will show how you interact with family and friends and demonstrate your beliefs or explore your pass

At Hope, there are plenty of great opportunities for students to relax and enjoy life beyond homework. Winter Fantasia (a SAC-sponsored dance), Men’s Night Out and Women’s Night Out (biannual Campus Ministries events) and the Hope-Calvin basketball game occurred either in the past week or will occur this week. Needless to say, college kids can stay busy.
