Lipscomb Baseball’s NCAA Tournament path has been revealed; here’s everything you need to know
After their ASUN championship victory against FGCU on Sunday, the Lipscomb Bisons won the ASUN Tournament Championship and clinched an automatic bid for the NCAA Tournament. This will be the third time in program history that Lipscomb has made the NCAA Tournament and is the first time since 2015. Though the Bisons knew that their place in the tournament was secured, what they didn’t know was who they would be playing against or where. On Monday morning, the team and its fans found out the answer to these questions, as the 64 team bracket was revealed on ESPN’s NCAA Baseball Selection show. After a 36-24 season that saw Lipscomb win…

How to Juggle the Consistent Battle of Judging
Republished from He Will Be Worth the Wait, February 23, 2023. Judging is such a simple thing to do. We see someone whose hair is unbrushed and the first thing we think is why didn’t they take two seconds to run a hairbrush through their hair? Or on a more serious note, we see two kids in class cheating and our initial thought is maybe if they had been more studious like me and studied they wouldn’t be doing that. Now don’t get me wrong; I am not encouraging cheating in any way. I am just saying how easy it is to judge someone. As a Christian, I think judgment…

Another “stampede-like” year for sports
Another year has gone by for Bison’s basketball and soccer and it’s been a good one. Although there still are a few sports in season, or just starting their season, the school year is closing fast and it’s time to look back at how the herd handled the rest of the nation. After making it to the ASUN conference playoffs last year, the Men’s basketball team returned once again. The guys didn’t play as well as expected, bringing in a record of 20 wins and 13 losses. But, they ended conference play on a three-game win streak giving them the 5 seed in the tournament. After beating Stetson in a…

How to replace the lies in your head
Republished from Giving Grace, February 16, 2023. Do you know how powerful your mind is? Did you know that 80% of our thoughts are negative and 95% of our thoughts are repetitive, according to the National Science Foundation. I think we can all say we have fallen down the rabbit hole of intrusive thoughts and overthink till we have thought of every situation possible. Maybe you don’t relate to exactly that, but every human has negative thoughts, and we tend to believe those hypothetical ideas. The psychological term for intrusive thoughts is unwanted thoughts that cause emotional distress and discomfort. I find myself creating those hypothetical situations and coming to an agreement with…

Lipscomb security staying proactive
After the March 27th incident at Covenant, people have been talking about security. What does security look like at Lipscomb University- both at the upper and lower school?

Lipscomb has increased their patrolling and Dale has retrained the security department on effective patrolling.

Discovering the differences between thrifts store and vintage shops
Republished from Thrifting with Emma, March 2, 2023. As I continue my journey to find the best thrift stores in Nashville, I have discovered an important difference between thrift stores and vintage shops that greatly changed my shopping search. The one-word difference between these seemingly similar titles can make a world of difference depending on what products you are searching for. In my finding, the difference can be summed up by one word: pricing. Vintage shops have much higher prices than thrift stores; because of the merchandise. Unlike thrift stores, which often receive their products through donations, Vintage stores seek out/buy their products from sellers with products that fit their store’s persona. Vintage stores…

The bigger the better is a myth; here’s why
Republished from Nifty Nutrition, February 22, 2023. When you go to a restaurant what do you look for? The saying, “the bigger the portion, the lesser the quality is often true.” Sometimes all we want is a big carb-loaded meal to make our day better, but our bodies never feel better after indulging in this. The restaurant industry makes billions of dollars every year, and fast food is the main cause. McDonald’s, for example, increased its revenue due to their large portion sizes for seemingly affordable prices. This fast-food chain was first created as a barbeque grill, but its food was actually not cooked super quickly and the chain put time…

How to fall in love with Poindexter in less than five minutes
Republished from Coffee with a Russian, March 9, 2023. This week I went deeper into downtown of Nashville and found Poindexter — an extra-authentic coffee shop located in the lobby of Graduate hotel. Both inside and outside of the building are unique and aesthetically pleasing, like the color palette of decor inside and the lights outside. The space is full of art and various-colored furniture. My favorite part of the shop is perhaps the patterned sofas located at different levels on the steps at one side of the hall. This design choice is so fun; I feel like it gives the visitors positive emotions right when they walk in. Poindexter’s menu has both made…

Republished from Behind the Art, February 16, 2023. Gracie Hall is a 20-year-old photographer located in Nashville, Tennessee. She is from Austin, Texas, and is currently a dietetics major at Lipscomb University. The main platform she uses to display her work is on her photography Instagram page: @graciewithacamera.

Gracie’s ever-present smile and energetic, playful presence are like sunlight. Her energy is translated through her outlet of expression, photography, and I can say from experience she is a very fun photographer to work…
