I Finally Got My Driver’s License

Hope College Network

The day I was leaving for Spring Break I took my final driving test. Not like in Europe it had two parts in the U.S. During the first part, I had to park the car in three different positions at the parking slot between the cones. In order to move on to the next part, which is the actual driving in the city, I had to pass this one first. The first part of the driving skills test: parking between the cones.

Long Car Ride to Florida.

Hope College Network

My friends and I went to Florida for Spring Break, but we drove. It was about 16 hours, 1110 miles long drive from Holland to Jacksonville. For us it was better to drive because we needed a car in Florida, so we could visit different places. On the other hand, the ride was very long. In the beginning it was fun. We talked a lot about different things, but after Atlanta it really got tiring.

St. Augustine, Florida

Hope College Network

During our Spring Break we did a lot amazing things. One of them was a trip to the city called St. Augustine. The City of St. Augustine is considered as the oldest city in the United States of America. It was founded in September 1565 by Spanish colonists and it is truly beautiful. It was for the first time when I was walking in the city in the U.S. and I felt like was in Europe – Spain to be more specific.

Rediscovering My Love for Cooking

Hope College Network

If there’s one thing I miss the most about home, it’s being able to cook in my own kitchen. You know how it feels when you are so used to a place that when even when you leave for a while and come back, you still feel right at home? It’s not that I can’t cook my own food at my house here on campus, but there’s something about the familiarity of the stove I use, the shelf in cabinet where the flour is, or why I can always find the vanilla extract behind the bottle of ground cinnamon.

100 Years Ago…

Hope College Network

Readers, I hope you had the greatest Easter! It was truly a time to celebrate, especially in Dublin. Let me explain. 100 years ago in Dublin on the day after Easter, the first shots of the Easter Rising rang out. This was the significant event that led to Ireland gaining their independence just a few years later. Since I’m still learning about the Rising, I’m not the best one to be explaining it to you so here’s the full story if you want more background.

Finding Hope in Florida

Hope College Network

Over Spring Break I had the chance to go to Ft. Myers , Florida, with my parents and my friend Heather who is studying to be an ASL interpreter at RIT in New York. It was so nice to get away, soak up some sunshine, and relax with only some guilt at not making any progress on my school work to-do list. One day we decided to check out this ice cream place we had heard about called The Love Boat.

The Best (And Partially Hidden) Allergy-Friendly Places in Holland

Hope College Network

Click to view slideshow. I’m a food connoisseur – not just because I’m a college student – but also because I’m a, well, hungry college student. I lived my first two years in the downtown strip of Holland, running triathalons between JP’s, Jimmy John’s and Lemonjello’s- but this third year, I discovered there’s so much more to explore.

34 Days.

Hope College Network

Last night I had the first of my lasts (or at least the first last that I was conscious of): my last Hope Bible study at Pillar Church. I haven’t even gone to that many of these Bible studies, but I still somehow feel so connected to them – probably because of the huge love I have for and receive from so many of the people who are there each week.
