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…

Do you follow @graciewithacamera?
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.

Budgeting your time: how to balance college, health and your social life
Republished from Still Life with Rose, February 22, 2023. It can be tough learning what to prioritize and balance in your life, especially in college. You want to prioritize your education, but you also want the “college experience” you have always looked forward to. It is the second semester of my freshman year of college, and I am still learning how to balance all of these things. It is different for every person, but I am sharing what I am trying to do myself. The No. 1 priority for me is my health — physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, etc. Without good health, you cannot function the way you need to…

The Art Of Walking On
Everyone loves a good story where a walk-on gets into the game and hits a shot and the place erupts, don’t we? But what about everything the walk-on has done to get to that point? Not celebrated, nothing glamorous, just good ol’ hard work and determination. Jack Ingold, a walk-on here at Lipscomb, puts it this way, “I would say just do everything and expect nothing. Find ways to be impactful in your role.” That’s it. In your role. The key to being a great walk-on is to know your role. And to know that your role makes a huge difference on the team. Jack goes on, “You might not…

Behind the curtain with Hello Darling — a band with origins as Lipscomb freshmen
You never know what might come out of Lipscomb’s music ensemble classes. The Nashville-based alternative folk band Hello Darling just happens to be one of those things. The band was born when a group of five musically talented people wound up thrown together in an ensemble as freshmen and discovered they all shared a passion for good music. Hello Darling comprises juniors Patrick Armould and Grace Russell, who share lead vocals; junior Amber Sawyer on bass; senior Riley O’Donnell on drums; and senior Noah Haggard on lead guitar. They come from different parts of the country and have different majors, musical tastes and backgrounds, but they found common ground through…

Renovations possible for the SAC
The student athletic center, also known as the “SAC”, here at Lipscomb University has always been a staple building on campus. But, according to Kegan York, director of campus recreation, we now have more students than recreation center. “We’ve definitely outgrown our space.” Kegan York Built in 1994, the SAC didn’t have any renovations done until 2011, which moved the weight room from where the Freshens is now to where the weight room now lives. It also got repainted. And in 2019, they added what York called the Rogue Room, as pictured here. It’s more of a “crossfit” type of room than a traditional weight room. Also, last summer, the…
