Welcome all! I hope that you are all ready for an exciting school year. There are only a few weeks left till summer ends and then a whole new journey starts.
Well, to start off, my name is Elizabeth Halstead. But, I usually go by Liz. I’m from Redmond, Oregon. Go Panthers!! And I try to enjoy everything as much as I can. I grew up in the public school system most of my life. I am an International Studies major with a minor in TESOL. I love music and books. Summer time is when my reading starts. I love to read everything that I can, mostly fiction though. When I said I love music, I really meant it. Everyone in my family plays an instrument. So, I started playing the flute in middle school and piano when I was 5. I am a big fan of anime and manga as well. I will be a Peer Advisor this year so I may have some of you in my First Year Seminar Class. If you are, I hope to get to know all of you real well.
So, I guess you know a little about me. Now comes my snit-bit of advice for your year on campus.
1. Have FUN!!!
I am totally not joking about this. This is the time where you can get to know new people and learn about yourself more. So, have fun while you’re at it. Orientation Weekend itself is going to be a little scary. There are so many people you won’t know and so many things going on. But, take it in and try to enjoy yourself in everything.
2. Be YOURSELF.
This one is true too. Try not to hide yourself. The majority of the people on campus don’t know your past. All they want to know is the real you, and get to know you for who you are. The people at GFU are awesome and everyone from students and staff want to get to know that real you.
3. Place everything on God.
There will be some struggles that you will face on campus and even at home. That’s when you need to pray and just TRUST God. I can personally vouch for this and so do many of my friends.
See you soon.
