Last fall, Sarah Schmidt ('13) was part of the Philadelphia C e n t e r - and this spring, she's d e c i d e d to stay t h e r e for a n o t h e r semester.

What makes Philadelphia "an exceptional place to study for a semester," according to Schmidt?

Valuable professional direction t h r o u g h internships, "phenomenal" classes, independent living and "interaction with the city."

Thirteen Hope students attended The Philadelphia Center (TPC)'s off-campus study p r o g r a m last fall. A l t h o u g h S c h m i d t was t h e only s t u d e n t t o attend a second time, m a n y H o p e s t u d e n t s considered it an invaluable experience, saying they gained a greater s e n s e of confidence in themselves and their abilities f r o m t h e semester.

The i n t e r n s h i p provided an important behind-the-scenes look into c r i m i n a l justice.

Roembach-Clark also interned with a professional photographer, assisting with shoots and even using the photographer's studio as she pleased.

Communications major Jackie Bray ( 1 2 ) was surprised by her internship as a project specialist in t h e Mayor's Office of Faith-Based Initiatives, saying it was a job she never would have e x p e c t e d t o b e good at or enjoy.

Recently, conflict b e t w e e n Kenyan t r o o p s a n d al-Qaedalinked militants k n o w n as al-Shabab has affected relief efforts. The Kenyans are h o l d ing al-Shabab responsible for a recent series of kidnappings.

My m o m claims that I was writing songs as s o o n as 1 could write. She would find little lyrics, just c h o r u s e s , t h a t I would write, w h i c h w e r e just gibberish. That w a s as soon as I was able to s e m d f c e s . But I picked u p ^itSr Tn sixth grade. That's rarted w r i t i n g c o m p l e t e songs. I l e a r n e d o n e c h o r d a n d just w r o t e a song off of o n e chord.

Can y o u p i n p o i n t anything that captivated or attracted y o u t o writing s o n g s ?

I've always loved writing or creating s o m e t h i n g . As a kid 1 was always dressing u p and creating p e r s o n a s in a way. So to b e able to create a s o n g w a s always just a feeling. Plus, I loved music f r o m the get-go. M e a n d my b r o t h e r used to h a n g out in our playground and p r e t e n d that we w e r e p u t t i n g o n a c o n c e r t for people. We'd sing D C Talk songs or w h a t e v e r p o p u l a r artists that o u r p a r e n t s would let us listen to mostly.

D o you r e m e m b e r t h e first s o n g y o u wrote?

No, I don't. I r e m e m b e r t h e first b a n d t h a t I ever played in.

M y friend got a guitar and d r u m set for C h r i s t m a s . I w a s like, "well, I'll try and learn h o w t o play guitar." So we have t h e t a p e of t h e first t i m e we ever played.

That w a s w h e n I k n e w like t h r e e chords. I h a t e listening to it (laughs). It's not a good nostalgic moment.

W h a t ' s o n y o u r iPod? Let's see, today was The T e m p t a t i o n s . I don't k n o w why, I just was listening t o t h e m as I woke u p this m o r n i n g . I'm really getting into this band f r o m Australia called Jinja Safari.

They w e r e my s u m m e r b a n d .

Everyday I would wake up and just drive with t h e m on. O n e of my favorite b a n d s of all t i m e is this b a n d called Delta Spirit.

They're p u t t i n g o u t a n e w a l b u m in M a r c h . O n e of my s t a n d a r d s is U2. Every week there's a m o m e n t that, I don't know, you just have to listen to U2.

It's different with every song.

S o m e t i m e s it will be sporadic.

I'll have an experience or something, and I'll just feel like I n e e d to write.

This s u m m e r , I remember one t \ m e I was going to the beach and I got this drumbeat in my h e a d . I w a s like, "All right, I n e e d to w r i t e something on this." So I just r e c o r d e d spoken word vocals on m y phone.

S o m e t i m e s I get really m e t i c u l o u s a b o u t it, and I say s o m e t h i n g like, "For t h e next t h r e e h o u r s I'm going to work o n this song."

Usually those are t h e t i m e s that the music sucks, because I'm forcing it to happen.

T h e r e was a Battle of t h e Bands in Phelps that year. The event was o n Friday. I g r a b b e d G a r r e t t on that Tuesday, along with Colin Rathbun, a t r u m p e t player and bass player.

There are certain songs t h a t I absolutely love t h e s o u n d of but 1 don't want to play a n y m o r e j u s t b e c a u s e t h e lyrics are either lame or don't fit into h o w I see things now. The lyrics add to "the vibe" a little bit m o r e t h a n t h e m u s i c

I've b e e n l i s t e n i n g t o your song "Hispaniola" with Laura Hobson recently.

That is an a m a z i n g song.

H o w did that o n e c o m e about? Is t h e r e a story b e h i n d it?

This is actually a really f u n n y story. F u n n y a n d sad.

W e really w a n t e d to d o a s o n g with a girl singing in it, particularly Laura Hobson because I wanted t o set G a r r e t t up with her.

They're actually still dating now. Anyway, we had been pressing for a s o n g to write that would be a p p r o p r i a t e for a girl t o sing o n so we could find an excuse for t h e m t o h a n g out.

Then the earthquake h a p p e n e d in Haiti. G a r r e t t and I sat in f r o n t of t h e T V for like, a whole day, just staring at t h e images t h a t day. W e w r o t e a n o t h e r song t h a t we played once, b u t it just never stuck.

rew by /niffles, flu, wintery season To increase your remaining immune, Askmen. r e c o m m e n d s taking the following precautions: 1. W a s h your hands Physical t o u c h is h o w many illnesses get transferred. Bacteria live on h a n d s greedily waiting to c o m e into contact with their next victim. To avoid both getting sick and passing on your sickness, wash your hands. Use w a r m water and soap, and wash f o r at least 15 seconds.

2. Don't touch your face N o t only can you get sick by breathing in airborne droplets f r o m s o m e o n e who has sneezed, cold and flu viruses can enter your body through your nose and your eyes. Askmen.com gives us a friendly reminder of what we all learned in kindergarten: don't pick your nose, don't lick your fingers and don't rub your eyes.

Quite simply, don't touch your face.

3. Avoid p e o p l e w h o a r e sick While you might be tempted to bring your flu-stricken friend chicken-noodle soup and crackers, don't. Rather, send h i m or her a text with well wishes. It lets your friend know that you are thinking of him or her without getting you sick.

4. Exercise Kill two birds with o n e stone this year. Not only will exercise help you shed those extra p o u n d s you resolved to lose, it will help boost your i m m u n e system

les itam help i m m u n e ' system h j h t off infection. C o n s u m i n g a vafcety of fruits and vegetables helps do so.

6. Stay hydrated O u r m o t h e r s have all told us to drink lots of water when we get sick. However, according to Askmen.com, "staying hydrated may actually help you prevent illness as well."

7. Don't share Ignore all childhood notions of sharing your toys with others.

In order to stay healthy, avoid sharing food, drinks, hairbrushes and other items that may spread sickness.

8. Don't drink alcohol Studies show that c o n s u m i n g alcohol weakens your i m m u n e system. If you feel like you are coming down with something, skipping a Friday night party might be a good decision in the long r u n .

9. C l e a n c o m m o n s u r f a c e s Although cold and flu viruses are mostly transferred between two people, according to Askmen. com, "indirect transmission can be responsible for spreading sickness as well ... because cold and flu viruses can survive outside the body for several hours or even days." This means that commonly touched surfaces such as counters, faucets and d o o r k n o b s could be covered with germs. To avoid getting sick, clean common surfaces often.

10. Get e n o u g h sleep

P H O T O S COURTESY OF W I K I M E D I A C O M M O N S

With h o m e w o r k , papers and exams galore, sleep is the last thing o n many college students minds. However, in the long run, getting at least eight hours of sleep a night might pay off by keeping you healthy enough to attend class.

I'll take your word for It

A column about c o l u m n s

Seriously, 1 could use the advice.

Jennifer Hermenet Columnist

Caitlin Klask Co-Editor-in-Chief

Being a kid was s u p e r for me. W h e n I w a s young, I w a s fully provided for by my very h e l p f u l a n d insightful p a r e n t s or a r a n g e of o t h e r adult figures: my nanny, g u i d a n c e counselors and teachers. 1 haven't really faced adversity bec a u s e p e o p l e have b e e n w a t c h i n g over me.

But o n c e you hit a c e r t a i n age, you b e c o m e the p r o v i d e r for o t h e r people.

It doesn't s o u n d like a foreign c o n c e p t , I know, b u t o n c e you e x p e r i e n c e t h e transition personally, it's o n e of those things you have t o talk about.

I'm a senior in college now, and my plate is really full (I w o n ' t go into detail or a n y t h i n g , but I'm digesting 19 c r e d its, an internship, an o n - c a m p u s job, three leadership positions in s t u d e n t organizations, a radio show, a long-distance relationship a n d a f e r v e n t determ i n a t i o n to watch every movie in my instant queue). 1 don't k n o w w h e r e I'll be after g r a d u a t e school. J a m a b o u t to swim in t h o u s a n d s of dollars of s t u d e n t loan-related debt. W h a t I'm craving n o w is advice.

Happily, I can share s o m e of t h e advice I've received over t h e years: 1. "If you're feeling u p s e t , w a s h your face a n d p u t on a n e w pair of socks.''

-Vali Helppie, m y high school AP English teacher. She said this at o u r c o m m e n c e m e n t my senior year, right before she a n n o u n c e d she was retiring.

2. "Every day, o n c e a day, give yourself a present."

-Dale C o o p e r in "Twin Peaks." It could be a n e w shirt f r o m t h e men's store, h e says, or a h o t , black c u p of coffee. The day after I h e a r d this for t h e first time, I slept in t o o late a n d enjoyed t h e heck o u t of it.

3. " N o o n e u n d e r s t a n d s you."

-Bruce M c C u l l o c h in "Kids in t h e Hall." Bruce is d i r e c t i n g his advice to aspiring a c t o r s a n d actresses in this sketch c o m e d y scene, telling t h e m it's pointless to fall into n o r m a l society b e c a u s e they're d e s t i n e d for better, b u t I get it; I'm s u p p o s e d to m a k e my o w n decisions. I u n d e r s t a n d me; that's w h a t matters!

4. "Slow that d a r n e d thing down."

-A crazy c u r m u d g e o n back h o m e . It was really s n o w y outside, b u t my b e s t friend a n d I w e r e late to take o u r A C T s , so I d r o v e quickly. H e rolled d o w n his w i n d o w and m o t i o n e d for m e to d o t h e s a m e , a n d I could tell h e was irate even b e f o r e he yelled. I didn't listen. N o t even two m i n u t e s later, I was stuck in a s n o w bank and had to call a t o w t r u c k .

I don't really drive quickly a n y m o r e .

5. "Think w h a t you w a n t a b o u t me; I'm n o t changing. W h a t you see is what you get."

- J o h n C a n d y in "Planes, Trains & Automobiles." I've never necessarily p u t this advice to use, b u t I k n o w it's not useless to keep it stored upstairs.

W h o e v e r doesn't cry at this p a r t in t h e movie m u s t be terminally j u d g m e n t a l or w i t h o u t a soul. John H u g h e s m u s t have been a really great dad.

So m y list is small but full of h e a r t , and I'm w o r k i n g o n it gradually. By t h e t i m e I'm fully t r a n s i t i o n e d into adulth o o d , I h o p e I have e n o u g h advice to give kids in m y position. Do you think you have s o m e t h i n g better? You should share it; write a letter to t h e e d ito r with your advice and send it t o a n c h o r © h o p e . e d u ! I w o n ' t be t h e only o n e w h o appreciates it.

You would think writing a c o l u m n would be easy. You get to write a b o u t w h a t e v e r you w a n t , no rules, it's just a page of you and your t h o u g h t s . So why is it so hard to t h i n k of ideas for it? It's not like I don't have any t h o u g h t s .

I could easily write a b o u t missing my dogs, d e b a t i n g transferring, missing d a n c i n g or t h e beauty of Pinterest. However, n o n e of those things are catching my eye to write 500-700 w o r d s about.

Since I w a s finding myself in a writer's block pickle, I decided t o Google "column ideas." D o i n g so m a d e m e realize w h y e v e r y o n e gets stuck w h e n writing c o l u m n s , because the ideas p r o v i d e d w e r e simply awful. But if they get at least o n e p e r s o n inspired, t h e n I guess they are w o r t h it.

I typed "column ideas" in the search bar and clicked o n t h e first link that p o p p e d up.

O n t h a t website I w a s provided with, "Jelly b e a n s and ... stickers ... w h a t e v e r t h e devil you kids talk a b o u t these days." That was actually o n t h e t o p of my priority list w h e n it c a m e to i m p o r t a n t things t o talk a b o u t in my c o l u m n . W h a t is t h e r e to say a b o u t jelly b e a n s and stickers? They are b o t h p e r f e c t for y o u n g children to eat a n d play with; t h a t is a b o u t it. I personally g r e w up, and still a m , an incredibly picky child. I always h a t e d jelly beans, b u t I k n o w m o s t kids m y age at t h e t i m e loved t h e m . Stickers, however, I could not get e n o u g h of. I t h o u g h t stickers were t h e best invention ever; I had multiple b o o k s of stickers just to have t h e m b e c a u s e I t h o u g h t they were cool.

S u c h little things e n t e r t a i n e d m e w h e n I was little. Stickers and p a p e r dolls kept m e busy for h o u r s at a time. I only played with paper dolls at m y cottage t h o u g h ; it was a l m o s t s o m e t h i n g specifically r e s e r v e d for C a n a n d a i g u a , w h e r e my cottage is located.

W h e n I w a s n ' t at m y cottage I spent all my t i m e playing with my A m e r i c a n Girl Dolls and Barbies while my b r o t h e r s kept busy with their Legos §nd Power Rangers.

W h e n w e w e r e little kids we all w o r s h i p e d o u r toys. O n e t i m e I b r o k e t h e head off of my older b r o t h e r Joe's Power Ranger, and he w a s so m a d h e t h r e w m e into t h e television. G r a n t e d , I was only a year old and Joe was only three, so he didn't m e a n to - h e didn't k n o w h e w a s going to h u r t me. He w a s that protective over his toys, t h o u g h .

They w e r e that i m p o r t a n t t o h i m .

As kids w e had n o t h i n g to w o r r y a b o u t . We woke up, went t o school, c a m e h o m e and had a snack, went to play with o u r toys, t h e n w e n t to bed t o wake up the next day to d o t h e s a m e old thing. W e never c o m p l a i n e d a b o u t it t h o u g h ; we didn't c o m p l a i n a b o u t o u r days like we d o n o w as y o u n g adults.

Sure, o u r lives have all gotten a little m o r e complicated, but they follow t h e s a m e p a t t e r n s . We w a k e up, go to class, c o m e h o m e a n d eat s o m e t h i n g t h a t will surely m a k e us gain that college weight while doing o u r h o m e w o r k ; we play with o u r toys, w h i c h would b e o u r laptops; get o n Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, or w h a t e v e r else o n t h e internet catches o u r fascination; t h e n we go to b e d and wake up to do it all again t h e next day.

W e ' r e all living t h e s a m e lives we did as kids; we follow t h e s a m e s t r u c t u r e that we did in o u r e l e m e n t a r y days. W e t r a d e d in o u r dolls for laptops a n d our Legos for iPods.

W e g r o w u p and m o v e o n t o bigger a n d better things. O u r toys b e c o m e m o r e and m o r e complex, b u t we live t h e s a m e life we always h a d . O u r lives b e c o m e m o r e c o m p l i c a t e d every day, but t h a t all is a p a r t of g r o w i n g o u t of the kid life we h a d . However, I think if you're 19 or 90, you still hold o n t o that kid life a little bit. Myself included. I have a c a b i n e t full of my A m e r i c a n Girl Dolls, and I still sleep with a stuffed animal version of my first d o g every night. I still h o l d o n t o my c h i l d h o o d like e v e r y o n e else. I think p a r t of m e will always live my kid life.

Cabin fever

Lauren Bull ('12) a n d C o l ^ n Kulba

THE ANCHOR

the abroad column coundess pots of coffee, brought us freshly baked bread for a midnight snack. The classroom was seamless: questions were asked around the dinner table, professors went on walks with us, and we shared our existential crises with one another. In the fast-paced lifestyle of go-go-go we don't have the time to really sit with questions heavy on our minds and hearts.

In Oregon, it was welcomed, encouraged and expected.

Before cabin fever hit, there was always a well-timed trip that gave us a break from our secluded mountain community. We crossed the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, hugged and climbed Redwoods, backpacked for seven days throughout the Pacific Northwest, and slept in yurts along the Oregon coast.

On Monday, you might see a man wearing a black wide brimmed hat— kinda cowboy—most likely paired with zip-off nylon pants and an olive green Northface jacket. Hell be outside Maas during lunch and dinner hours with an assortment of free Clif Bars. If you think he looks like a man who just wandered in from the woods (and slighdy confused), you'd be right. Introduce yourself. Take a Clif Bar. His name is John and he's a professor at the Oregon Extension.

If you want more information, we'd love to talk your ear o f f , or you can speak with Jim Allis in the philosophy department. Remember that off-campus applications are due by Feb. 1.

With all the study abroad opportunities that Hope offers, you may not have heard about the Oregon Extension. Just like there are programs in New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia—there is also one settled on top of A mountain in Lincoln, Ore. In August 2010, as juniors in college, we were ready to take a break from the traditional college setting. Twenty-three other students from Colleges around the U.S. journeyed to Oregon where we all lived communally: chopping wood for our woodstoves, sharing potlucks on Wednesdays, tending to the chickens in their coop, spending our Friday nights in Ashland, the town down the mountain.

We read up to three books per week and our "assignment" included open dialogue with one another. There were lectures everyday, followed by small group discussion where we talked about the previous day s reading, over cups of hot tea and coffee. There was no homework on the weekends. Three times during the semester, we focused in on our own individualized projects. We read, researched and wrote a paper on our chosen topics: how ants live in community, a chapbook of poems, the origin and role of clowns in society, the ethics of eating. A student who was a creative writing and women's studies major even wrote a paper on quantum me-

The H o p e College men's basketball t e a m d e f e a t e d Calvin 81-65 after o n e of t h e biggest c o m e b a c k s in Hope's history o n Jan. 18.

"It was t h e tale of t w o halves," head coach M a t t Neil said. " O u r boys m a n n e d u p the second half and played s o m e H o p e defense and that's w h a t we were after."

The e x c i t e m e n t t h a t filled the arena at t h e b e g i n n i n g of the g a m e quickly quelled as Calvin s t a r t e d t h e g a m e m a k i n g shot after shot.

"They w e r e s h o o t i n g the ball well, and w e weren't playing very g o o d defense," K r o m b e e n said.

The Knights w e n t o n to s h o o t 64 p e r c e n t in t h e first half. At o n e p o i n t H o p e was d o w n by as m a n y as 12 p o i n t s .

"I t h o u g h t for 3 5 or 38 m i n u t e s that we d e f e n d e d really well," Calvin h e a d coach Kevin Vande Streek said. "We took good shots, took c a r e of t h e ball."

In w h a t could have been a m a j o r u p s e t to Hope's season, the Flying D u t c h m e n trailed t h e Knights 32-40 after t h e first half of t h e game.

The Flying Dutchmen s t e p p e d u p its defense and took back t h e c o u r t s h o o t i n g a l m o s t 60 p e r c e n t in t h e s e c o n d half.

H o p e tied up t h e g a m e with 11:21 to play in t h e second half.

In less t h a n a m i n u t e and a half, H o p e was u p by five points.

"I k n e w going in that w e w o u l d have to play a b o u t as well as we w e r e capable of playing," Vande Streek said.

H o p e went o n a s h o o t i n g streak racking up 49 points total in t h e second half. In t h e end, H o p e was victorious over Calvin sealing the w i n 81-65. " W e just had t o have m o r e heart. That's p r e t t y m u c h the b o t t o m line," K r o m b e e n said.

"There wasn't really m u c h else to talk a b o u t (at halftime)."

The largest s t u d e n t t u r n o u t of t h e season also helped motivate the Dutchmen.

"Anytime we get that c r o w d involved it translates to us," K r o m b e e n said.

Even Calvin a d m i t t e d the D e w C r e w was an effective tool.

"Their crowd is pretty l o u d it's hard to hear," Calvin f o r w a r d Tom Snikkers said. "It definitely affected o u r defense."
