Stacie Laughlin: O-leader

HEY THERE!
My name is Stacie Laughlin and I am going to be a sophomore here at George fox.
I love…
· God with my whole heart. I would not be the person that I am today without him in my life.
· Taco Bell. I can be found in the drive through most nights getting a bean burrito with no onions and extra sauce.
· T.V. My Monday nights are dedicated to One Tree Hill, Prison Break and Gossip Girl.
· My camera and pictures. I think I have over 3000 on Facebook alone.
· Weddings and Writing. I am double majoring in Cinema and Media Communications and Organizational Communications. I hope to become a Wedding Planner or a journalist.
· Forever 21. A weekly ritual I have here at fox. The money I have spent there could have easily paid for a year of textbooks!
· Sunglasses. If you get in my car, I have about 12 pairs in there alone.
· High School Musical. My dorm room last year had Zac Efron posters everywhere.
· My family and friends. They make up a huge chunk of my life.

Over Orientation week I formed life long relationships. My friends here at fox have become my second family. We eat together, live together, go to games together, cry together, laugh together, fight together and do absolutely nothing together. I don’t think I can ever forget even one moment of my freshman year at fox, the half hour drives to The Way (the best church in Beaverton), Rushing to Taco Bell at 1:50 just to get there before they closed at 2, Bonfires at the beach, making milkshakes at the bon, and celebrating birthdays at the Cheesecake Factory. I can’t even remember what my life was like before them. I have never once regretted my decision to attend Fox. Every day spent there was AMAZING!

If I had one word of advice, I would simply say get involved. At fox there is an endless amount of things to do to get involved. There never is a boring moment on campus. This last year, I worked on campus with the foreign exchange students. I loved it. I had never been introduced to another culture before. I also was part of the Cheerleading team here at Fox. It was an opportunity that allowed me to get involved and meet new people.

I became an O-Leader because I wanted to help each and everyone of you. My experience with Orientation was one that I will never forget and I want it to be the same for you. Plus I wanted to do the whole Orientation process all over J

Go enjoy the summer sun while it last because it’s all rain as soon as you get to school! Good Luck to you all and I can’t wait to meet each and every one of you in the next few weeks!
