Students navigate effects of senioritis as school year ends

By Lydia Chapman Contributor Brandon Mancio, a graphic design major, is navigating what he thought was a post-spring break slump, but has decided it’s likely the phenomenon known as “senioritis. “I think having senioritis in college is stressful because you are trying to figure out what you will do after college. You are about to go out into the real world, so I think there is more guilt and more pressure because you have to figure out how to be an adult,” said Mancio. According to Trevecca counselor Crayton Croan, senioritis manifests itself differently in every person, but it is a type of burnout due to prolonged stress.

International students battle economic pressures

By Kamryn Sanderfer Contributor Photo by Jason Leung on Unsplash Global economic pressures are reaching onto Trevecca’s campus, and being felt by many international students who are struggling to find jobs and keep up with conversion rates. “One dollar [in America] is 24.5 lempiras [in Honduras] …With that you can actually have a meal, so definitely for our parents to have us here in college, they need to work three times harder,” said Claudia Nuñez, a Honduran senior and president of the International Student Council. “We don’t like to do the conversions because we get scared to see the amount of money that gets invested in our education.” The Centre for the New Economy and Society reported on the World Economic Forum in 2022 that the US dollar had risen in strength b...

(Photo courtesy of Irina Yeakley “The officer was staring into my soul as if she were trying to see if I was a spy or knew the Russian language, so I tried not to freak out and acted as casual and normal as possible," said Irina “She (the officer) was not happy, but she let me through.” Irina let out a sigh of relief as her van, one of the six carrying humanitarian aid, passed over safely into war-stricken Lviv, Ukraine.

Spiritual Deepening Week on campus

Photo by Alayna Simons, Editor-in-Chief By Antonia Lopez Staff Writer Trevecca welcomed Olivia Metcalf as the guest speaker for Spiritual Deepening Week. “It’s always fun to be on one of our college campuses. There’s a lot of life and energy,” said Metcalf. “I know that entering into [chapel] is such an honor and privilege because the Holy Spirit does really powerful things when we’re engaged and gathered.” Spiritual Deepening Week occurs every third week of each semester. It is an opportunity for students to slow down and remember that going to college is more than attending class and doing extracurriculars, said Erik Gernand, university chaplain. The theme for the six sessions throughout the week was based on the word “peripateō,” the Greek word for “to walk’’. It came...
