Grace Bible College Top Questions

What should every freshman at Grace Bible College know before they start?

I would tell myself three things if I were able to return to senior year and give myself some advice. First, I would tell myself to consult God when its time to make decisions and not try to make them on my own. He knows the future and He will guide me in the path He wants me to take. Secondly, I would tell myself to loosen up and have fun(not in a bad way). Don't be paranoid and obsessed about what everyone is thinking about me: it doesn't matter. Lastly, I would tell myself to never stop dreaming. So many college aged (or younger) students have brilliant dreams of things they want to accomplish in college or in the future, and yet, somewhere along the line, that dream gets smashed. It gets run out and taken over by the 'practical' thing to do. Maybe, just maybe, God is leading you on a path that doesn't make sense to anyone else, but your job is to follow Him, not everyone else. And then I would finish by saying, "Whatever you do, stick with God, because He will always have your back. He loves you incredibly much."

If I were to go back in time and visit myself in as a high school senior first of all I would be going back almost four years which being a senior in college seems like centuries ago. The first piece of advice I would give myself would be to keep in mind the end goal. If you stay focused on what you want to achieve while you are in college you will be sucessful. Second, I would tell myself to enjoy every minute of the college life, all the good and the bad, because it all flys by so quickly and you just can not get enough of it. Finally, I would tell myself to invest all that I am into my goal and work. Doing this will help you succeed and aid you when you find ourself a little discouraged. In giving my high school senior self this advice I would also constantly talk about how fast it goes and college is definatly worth everything.
