Senior Soundbytes
Emily Keyser – Don’t be afraid to get involved. Trust God wholeheartedly. Take advantage of living so close to all your friends.
Brendan Hamilton – Never break two laws at once, that’s how you get caught.
Austin Bradtmueller – Trust in God’s plan and God’s timing because it’s all gonna turn out pretty great. It’s gonna be hard but you’re going to make great friends and experience some amazing things. Also, stay away from almond milk, it’s just water trying to be milk!
Niya Fallace – “Enjoy the social relationships at Grace and to not be caught up in homework.”
Taylor “Second Year Senior” Chitwood – Don’t sweat the petty stuff and don’t pet the sweaty stuff.
Abigail Hammond – Enjoy your college experience, and be intentional on what God has in store for you down the road. Also…don’t overdo yourself. College is meant for you to discover who you are, and to enjoy building relationships with those around you.
Kelsey Saunders – I would get to my 8 a.m. classes in the old Science Center at 7:20 a.m. I sat in the dark by myself until the professor got there because I really wanted to show that I was ‘punctual’. I would tell freshman Kelsey, “Don’t do that.”
Patrick O’Brien – I wish that I could tell myself to be open minded and to participate in the activities that Grace offers. I greatly regret all of the time that I lost by hiding in my room instead of enjoying the amazing people around me.
Hannah Daegatanno – Things go by really fast. Every year will be different. Trust God in the change. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. It’s okay to not know what you want to do with your life. Just make sure you pray and take steps toward discovering what God has planned for you. Trust Him to lead you.
Kathryn Zaborowski – Little Kat, you will meet so many people everywhere you go. You will be exposed to ideas that you still don’t believe to this day. Enjoy it. Live in the little moments, savor the good memories. Bad days are inevitable, but good ones are always around the corner.
Kayla Singer – Create a budget for fines. I would recommend about $50 per semester for fines. If you find yourself owing more than that, then you can adjust your budget for next semester. Subsequently, if you owe less than that, then you can let that money “roll over” to next semester.
We asked Grace College students in their last year what advice they would give themselves on Welcome Weekend of their freshman year of college. Mouse over or click on their photos to see their responses. If you’re a graduating senior and have a piece of advice you would like to share, send it, along with a picture of yourself, to [email protected].
