North shore is like an escape on the island. Sometimes being down in Honolulu or even Waikiki is just, simply, too much. There’s so much noise, too much light, too much human development.
It’s too much.
Sometimes, you just need to get away and remember where you are.
We are on an island. So why doesn’t it feel like that?
Well, a trip to North Shore will cure that city sickness right away.
Aloha everyone. I’m unsure if anyone from the school, other than the honors students and faculty, knows who Brandy McDougall is, but she is a Hawaii State Poet Laureate.
She’s published two poetry books: “Finding Meaning”, and “Birth Land.” At these conferences, she discussed and read from “Birthland” which was honestly quite moving, quite passionate. She brought tears to herself and to her audience.
Especially for a school-based poetry reading conference, I thought it was quite endearing.
Are you struggling with senioritis? Does the thought of freedom, so close, discourage you from wanting to do any work? Are you an underclassman experiencing the symptoms of senioritis? Don’t worry loves I got you.
You know that feeling you get when you walk into a classic dinner? The kind of nostalgia that brings you back to a life you never actually knew. The kind of life that made the world seem small enough to comfort you.
That’s what Betty’s Burgers does for me.
There is something new coming! Something reused, recycled, responsible. Something creative and sustainable.
A handcrafted, student engaged, one of a kind mural.
Crafted by the lovely members of LSF at HPU.
In a few weeks, the Makerspace will be adding a new piece of art to their collection.
Alone on a Saturday night? Or worse, are you with your friends but the parties and clubs sound like torture?
Well, congrats, you’re just like me, but lucky for you I got a way to fix that!
I for one, love a place where there’s lots of food, lots of places to sit, and most importantly lots of dogs.
Escape rooms have been buzzing in the past decade. They have increased tremendously in popularity (especially with young adults) over the years.
And most people will want a review on the escape room HPU just held. And they’ll get one.
But first: upon hearing from the staff and participants, the library staff at Hawaii Pacific University needs to be thanked for all of the effort they put into the events for the students at HPU.
So, thank you to the Library Faculty members at HPU.
No one should be afraid of their next chapter in life, no matter what has lead up to it, remember that it is indeed the next chapter. Not the end of the story.
HPU had their very first meet and greet, Friday, February 23rd, 2024. The conference consisted of some alumni and some local networks.
Although this conference was for graduates, it’s just as important for undergraduates to hear the messages that were given.
Do you consider yourself to be sustainable? Does it bother you when the world surrounding you is not? Would you like to help change that fact?
Well now you can! The Leaders for a Sustainable Future, or rather LSF, has made that their mission.
The Theatre Arts play an important part in all of our lives. Without it, we wouldn’t have Hamilton, Criminal Minds or The Marvel universe. Theatre can be traced back as early as the 6th century BCE. It has been in our lives for centuries and influences us everyday. New York and California are the hotspots for actors, but what do those living in Hawaii do if they are interested in acting? Well they could come to Hawaii Pacific University, but currently there is a lack of theatre classes at HPU, and I believe that with more classes, we can get more interest in theatre here at Hawaii Pacific University.
