Welcome to George Fox! We’re so glad you decided to come!
This new school year is approaching quickly. Almost too quickly. The countdown is in motion and the clock is ticking away the little time of summer that is left. Scary, isn’t it? But, never fear! Starting school is just another adventure! And the best way to enjoy an adventure is to throw yourself into it wholeheartedly! That is my first piece of advice to you, as incoming students. Take each opportunity to learn something new! Jump at every chance to meet new people! No one can know the true joy of new life experiences without actually experiencing them. All the hodge-podge of orientation is overwhelming when you first arrive, but take it all in and try to enjoy. It’s worth it! My second piece of advice: Trust God with EVERYTHING. When you have troubles, hand them over. Believe me! No one is more capable of straightening our lives out than he is.
Now you’re probably wondering who the advice is coming from. My name is Jaclyn Cascio. I’m a senior, majoring in psychology, with a Christian ministries missions minor. I transferred in last year from TVCC as a junior. I hail from Ontario, Oregon – the dry, high-desert, eastern side of the state that this side sometimes forgets about. Sometimes I miss the rocks and sagebrush. This side of Oregon is too wet and green for my taste. But regardless, I LOVE GFU. The atmosphere of the campus and the wonderful people make it all worthwhile.
And the best way to describe myself is to share my current (un)healthy obsessions with you. Please don’t laugh too hard at me. I’m embarrassed at some of them too. :P But perhaps you’ll find that you share some of them as well! They include: LOST, Psych, Jeff Dunham, laughing, Demetri Martin, pranks, old movies and tv shows (We’re talking 1950’s era mostly.), Twilight, graham crackers, creating (or just watching) awkward situations, peanut butter, snowball fights, getting lost, YouTube, pieces of flair, Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire, Wheel of Time series, Red Skelton, Disney movies, dancing alone in the rain, driving (especially off-roading), Clark Kent, and my timeless obsession: God.
I’m looking forward to meeting you all! Enjoy the summer!
