Home Sweet Hope

Don't get me wrong, I do love it here, but there are definitely things from Hope that I miss. As my friends are all going back over the next few days, here is a list of some of the things that I miss most. Again, no order, just when I think of them.

• my friends- I feel that I'm the only one that misses friends, because they were talking about how they could live here, and I said that I'd need my family and friends, but they said they'd be fine with just their parents. I don't know if it is Hope or what, but I love my friends!
• teasing Jenny, there is no other JB in the entire world!
• Friday night walks to Vanderwerf with Caitlin (my roommate)
• Chapel- while I go to MCU, it's just not the same without the amount of people, being in Dimnent, and having the Chapel band!
• eating coldstone in Vanderwerf basement across from the particle accelerator
• watching How I Met Your Mother and the Big Bang Theory with Caitlin, Erin, Nayt, and Dan
• the science dorky conversations that my friends have
• having science majors as friends
• Quidditch!
• being able to talk about Harry Potter with my friends, especially Anne!
• people watching, especially when the gamers are around!
• tales of Black squirrels
• Christian atmosphere
• smoke-free campus
• friends that also don't drink
• clean bathroom, and I'm imagining a clean kitchen although next semester is my first kitchen at Hope
• Discussing the meaning of life and analysing Caitlin's life with my sociology skills
• Sardines in the Vanderplex and Science Center
• professors that seem to care about you- although it is more informal here, and you are actually considered equal (ie you call lecturers by their first name) I feel like the profs at Hope actually care about you and want you to do well.
