Getting to Know Elizabeth Howell
1. NAME: Elizabeth Lauren Howell...but I will respond to Liz, Ella, El, Lizbeth
2. Food: What do you like?
· Candy: CHOCOLATE
· Fruit: fresh pineapple, grapefruit, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, cranberries (in the CRAISIN form!), pomegranate, peaches, watermelon, coffee (according to Wikipedia, "coffee cherries" aka coffee beans are FRUITS!)
· Dinner: macaroni & cheese, bean burritos, lasagna, basically anything that falls under the Italian or Mexican cuisine...but I pretty much like all food and love trying new things!
· Ice Cream: mint chocolate chip :)
· Is there anything that you can’t (or don’t like) to eat? Meat - I have been trying out vegetarianism, but I don't know if this will be a life-long thing yet
3. Birthday? August 22, 1992
4. Favorite thing to do off campus?
· In Grove City? I like to run around the countryside when it's warm, go to BOB when it's cold, investigate all those little shops and restaurants, go to the outlets, go out for ice cream!
· Away from Grove City? trips to Pitt for a variety of things, like going to the zoo or going to the cheesecake factory - but I am way more interested in spending time with people going on adventures and having fun than what we actually do! I really like doing most anything!
5. What is something you are excited about this year? Meeting all kinds of new people! I'm excited to form new relationships on my hall and with fellow residence life people! :) I'm also really excited to learn and grow this semester...about God, people, life...

8. Favorite movie? WHY? Oh! I have so many favorites! It really depends on my mood... what's coming to mind right now is the Emperor's New Groove because I think it's hilarious, the Titanic because it's so sad but so sweet and sometimes you just need a movie to make you cry, Inception because I love movies that really make you think, and the King's Speech because I love inspiration. haha I really like watching movies of all kinds...it's so hard to pick one!! _________________________________________________________________________________________
9. Favorite way to worship? Escaping. Finding solitude and peace in the wilderness to take in the beauty of His creation while having the freedom to talk out loud to God and journal and also listen to what He has to say. And I love singing too. _________________________________________________________________________________________
10. Favorite author or book? Maybe Karen Kingsbury? I've only read a few of her books, but I LOVED them...Redeeming Love and the Atonement Child...so so good...HIGHLY recommend reading them. _________________________________________________________________________________________
11. Love language(s) (if you know, if not that’s ok too)? Quality time and words of encouragement I believe. _________________________________________________________________________________________
12. How do you relax? Usually try to get out and do something fun and adventurous to take my mind off of whatever is stressing me out! Or I might find a quiet place to just sit, catch my breath and pray. _________________________________________________________________________________________
13. What do you need when you are feeling stressed? Someone to listen and let me vent a little bit, then a hug and a little back massage never hurts :) _________________________________________________________________________________________
14. Something I should know about you (as your supervisor)… I tend not to like to talk about something I'm struggling with until I think I have it figured out. This is probably not a good thing and most likely a pride issue...so something I'm working on. _________________________________________________________________________________________
15. Something that really stresses you out? When things that I allow myself to think I have control over (I say this because I know I really don't have control over anything - only God does) seem out of my control. I get stressed about things I shouldn't the second I allow other things to take God's #1 spot in my life because that means I stopped trusting in His control...academics, relationships, health, etc... _________________________________________________________________________________________
How can we pray for you? The biggest thing that I am praying for and would be thrilled if others would pray too is that I will keep my focus on my RA-ing as a ministry...whatever that will look like exactly. I want to truly "seek first the kingdom" in everything, but specifically as an RA this year. I don't know exactly how God will use me as an RA, but would love prayer for confidence, peace of mind, a heart of love, and a servant attitude as I prepare for the coming year.
