Pope Hope

The unrealistic, but ever-present, belief of progressive Catholics that this pope will be any different than the last 200.

"My pope hope is built on the fact that he's our first Latino pontiff and an advocate of the poor!!"

"Don't get your pope hope up, he's also from the most conservative wing of cardinals."

No-hope-in-hagen

The feeling of utter dismay when great expectations lead to absolutely nothing.

After all the hype and expense on the Climate Summit, the end result was No-hope-in-hagen.

Get the No-hope-in-hagen mug.

A place where you can graduate with a 4.0 GPA and still not be in the top 20% of the class. A place that defies the laws of high school. The more drugs you do, people you sleep with, and the the less time you spend studying, the better GPA you get! Everyone should go to Green Hope! But beware, Green Hope is home to the most vicious gossip. If you're not in the right crowd to begin with, you never will be (that factor is usually determined at the first PTA meeting when the richest snobbiest parents latch arms leading their children to one another and deciding who their children will exclude) and if by some chance you get into the "in" crowd, you get the most hurt because you don't realize how much people are talking about you behind your back.

Green Hope High School - as long as you're in the right crowd, you're fine, or so you think!

beacon of hope

A tent pitched on the top of a roof that brings hope to all those around it. Often used for smoking and/or relaxing.

Person 1: "Class sucked today. Nothing will make this day better."

French Friend: "Au contrair, my friend. We still have the beacon of hope!"

Person 1: "Oh wow! You're right. Let's go hang out in the beacon."

Hope College

A small college in Holland, MI that is a leader in undergraduate research as well as basement ragers. Although occasionally campus safety can sometimes rain on the parade, as well as HPD which often forgets the large amount of shady activity on 16+ street and trolls the student-rich areas of 12th-15th street, the atmosphere is usually a balance of work, study, and fun. Visitors on Fridays will enjoy the best phelps food ever offered as well as the faint smell of the night before on many of the tired looking students. Hope College is a great community that produces the best students, and people, in the world.

"I visited Hope College last weekend. The Organic Chemistry class I sat in on went way over my head but the shenanigans that occurred in Kollen Hall will never be forgotten.
