At Covenant, we are always taught the importance of the Sabbath, and yet, frequently on Sunday nights, the Blink is filled with countless students putting in their orders and thoughtlessly yelling over the noise of people and speakers. While this is not inherently a problem, it should make us ask some serious questions. We might not be the ones working when we go to the Blink on Sundays, but we are causing some of our fellow students to have to work…
Read moreRecord Resurgence: The Rise of Physical Media at Covenant
In an increasingly advanced society that places emphasis on the use of technology and media, why is there a sudden popular desire for the usage of physical media again? Haven’t Americans worked so hard to stem away from physical media just for us to resort back to it? And what is so special about physical media that digital media doesn’t have? These are all questions that deserve an answer.

God created humans with many characteristics, one being storytelling, prominent in our culture today in the form of movies and TV shows. Every day people retire on their couches for an evening of adventure, romance or mystery. But Hollywood is also notorious for its immorality and often produces content involving depictions of ungodly actions such as drunkenness, bloody murder and sex scenes.

In the spring of 2025, Dr. David Tahere, professor of music and theater at Covenant College, announced he would be leaving his position to pursue other professional opportunities.
Read moreAI: The Blind Idiot God
In recent years, the meteoric rise in potency and capability undergone by Large Language Model artificial intelligence has had a dramatic impact on academics. We may ask Gemini or ChatGPT to write us a summary of Don Quixote, quiz us on the Krebs Cycle, or (in a less savory act) simply request that it complete our Spanish homework. It will probably do a reasonably passable job at any of these.
Despite its utility in terms of schoolwork, there is a reason I will never utilize AI for academic purposes. Namely, I have always seen AI as a sort of “Blind Idiot God.”
Covenant’s Two-Wheeled Terrors
We have to address the elephant in the room. It’s the one thing everyone on campus can’t shut up about—the thing that has set father against son, sister against brother.
Electric scooters.

In February, the 59th Super Bowl took place between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, making waves among Americans in the home and all over social media. One moment that went particularly viral was when Taylor Swift, attending in support of Travis Kelce, was shown on the jumbotron only to be booed by the surrounding crowd.
Read moreA Cautious Defense of Horror
Horror fascinates me. I have a theory as to why: I was an extremely fearful child. I remember losing sleep after watching my dad play the zombies map on “Call of Duty: World at War.” The same thing happened with the skeletons in “Pirates of the Caribbean.” It got so bad that I was scared of the letter “Z” branded on the spine of a copy of “World War Z” in my aunt’s room.

Covenant is battling a tension between two powerful forces: the needs of those living with disabilities, and limited resources to provide for those needs.
Read moreDOP Distracted
This past Day of Prayer (DOP), our community gathered to pray and worship on the scenic overlook of Rock City. As we walked the dark trails toward the overlook, readings of scripture by students were interspersed with flashes of camera light. During the singing and group prayer, cameras weaved in and out continually.

Read more“A Minecraft Movie” Trailer: Is the Hate Warranted?
Imagine your childhood dog being brought out in front of you again. Whether it’s still alive right now or has passed on, you’d be thrilled to see it, right? Now, imagine that the same person who brought it out sets it on fire, shoots it, and lets a bear maul it to death. That’s the closest way I can describe my feelings after watching the two trailers for “A Minecraft Movie.”
Read moreChallenges Faced by Non-Traditional Students
Most people view Covenant as a traditional four-year college, in which students progress from “freshman” to “senior.” However, a hidden plethora of college students begin their journey on a different path. Many transfer in dual enrollment classes, or credits from another school. Others embark on a 3:2 plan. Still others remain at Covenant for five years or more. As a result, an increasing number of students find themselves “between years.”
Read moreHow To Be a Senior
Somehow, I’ve made it—senior year. I’ve only been able to say that for a couple of months, so don’t feel the need to take any of this advice seriously, what do I know? While I’ve only experienced half of my last year at Covenant, I can already say that it is nothing like what I expected it to be. Perhaps that’s dramatic, but for the most part, it’s true. I don’t believe there’s a correct formula for this whole senior thing, but I’m having a good time, and I think you should too. Here’s my advice for being a Senior:
