Advice from those who have
been there…done that!
"Go to class. Some professors don't
take roll, so you will be tempted to
sleep that extra hour. This is a nono.
You never know what you might
miss. I had a biology teacher who
compared prions to zombies. He
never mentioned it in any notes, but
it was on the final. Countless
questions like that came up, and
those of us who went to every class
got those extra points. Going to
class pays." (Emma Gardner)
"At orientation,
they'll tell you about
the whole "points"
thing on your
student ID. Do it, its
a lot easier than
carrying a [bunch]
of quarters around
to do laundry. Plus,
if you run out of
points, you just
have to go
downstairs to the
machine and put
more on. Quarters
are not so
convenient." (Adam
Strider)
"Dorm showers are super fun.
Try to get a neat little carrying
case for your soaps and such...
"Go to class.
it just makes life easier. Bath
Showing up for robes are also a fantastic idea
class is at least because a robe can make it far
75% of getting less awkward if a fire alarm
decent grades." goes off while you are bathing."
(Emma Gardner)
(Adam Strider)
"Cafeteria
food isn't the
best. Come
to church,
they feed
you."
Make at least one
friend in each class
for questions,
homework, note
sharing…
Participate in
clubs and
study hard but
don't forget to
relax!
Olivia Novotny
To the recent High School Graduate:
During your first semester at college make a list of
three or four people who have had the greatest
impact on your life. What where they like? How
did they impact you? How did you feel in their
presence? What was different about them? How
did they get to be so cool? Now consider what it
would take to be like them. Take small steps this
semester to imitate your heros as you interact with
others on campus.

…And if you
don’t understand
ask questions
during class and if
you still don’t get it
go and talk to your
professor during
office hours –
Emily Rengers
Take whatever experiences your college
formation throws your way and make the
most of those experiences. Live those
four to five to six years or however many
years your at college and live them to the
fullest. Enjoy your courses, but also
have a blast on the social scene. And,
last but not least, don't forget about your
relationship with God. No matter what,
God is with you and always will be. I'm
sure that the Episcopal priests and
campus ministers on campus would love
to talk with you and get to know who you
are as a child of God. One more thing,
when doing your laundry, don't mix your
whites with dark colors!
God's Grace,
Eric L. Miller+
