Henry Payne Comics

Last weekend, I went to a college art exhibit featuring Henry Payne's political comics - Ashley was with me and we had quite a laugh at some of these!

Hillsdale Arboretum

I spent one afternoon last week reading in the college's arboretum and I forgot how absolutely beautiful and peaceful it is there! Fall is really incredible here.

 

     

                        

Fall Break

I apologize for the lack of posts recently - I got back from Fall break and had more tests and started a new class (now I'm in Physics because Chemistry just ended). I'll be back to posting regularly now!

I got to see my whole family over break which was so nice and celebrate everyone's birthdays. I can't believe how much older Benedict is looking!

I also got to spend time with Amy and her mom made us the classic "sausage rolls" which I adore :)

It was good to be home!

This has been a long time coming, but here is a virtual tour of my dorm - Olds Residence

Fall at Hillsdale

One thing I LOVE about Hillsdale besides all the people and academics... is the autumn scenery :)

Just take a look at all the beauty of God's creation here!

My Favorite

 

"Autumn begins with a subtle change in the light, with skies a deeper blue, and nights that become suddenly clear and chilled. The season comes full with the first frost, the disappearance of migrant birds, and the harvesting of the season's last crops."

Horseback Riding

Last Sunday, I got to go on a trail ride with Hillsdale's Equestrian Club! It was so relaxing and a lot of fun!

 

 

Ray's Tavern

Last Saturday I joined my friends Amanda and Ashley and we went to "Ray's Tavern" - It's this little restaurant located in Reading, MI and it was rated #1 Burger Place in America back in the 1980's so we decided to check it out (Amanda is also writing an article on it for the college newspaper, the Collegian). It turned out to be a typical small town bar, but the burgers were delicious!!
