    Unsung Heroes

    “One of the nicest things about life is that we must regularly stop whatever it is that we are doing and devote our attention to eating.” -Luciano Pavarotti In this issue of Unsung Heroes, the spotlight is cast upon the cafeteria workers of Blue Mountain College. After surveying twenty students at random, over seventy five percent agreed that having a full stomach improves focus in the classroom. Because of Blue Mountain College’s cafeteria, over one hundred students are fed

    Refresh, Renew, Revive

    During the week of March 8th, at 10 AM on Monday and Tuesday morning the campus of Blue Mountain College came to a halt. All focus was on the much-anticipated revival. For an hour on both days, faculty and students alike stopped what they were doing and came together for a strengthening worship service. While the two services weren’t exactly the same, both delivered similar messages of hope and preached a sense of renewal of beliefs. We were fortunate enough to have a guest s

    How Will They Hear?

    BSU Prepares to Send Student Summer Missionaries Despite the restrictions of COVID, summer missions opportunities are available this year through BMC’s Baptist Student Union. Every year, the BSU works hard to raise money for summer missions, sending a handful of volunteers to positions across the world. This movement continues even in this year. Six students have already committed to serving this summer, and there are opportunities for anyone who wishes to go. The BSU does al
    Dr. Holland's Story

    Dr. Holland's Story

    Dr. Holland grew up in Mississippi—Booneville, to be precise. She spent her adolescent years at Jumpertown, where she met a teacher who inspired her and her journey. Dr. Holland said, “I was the valedictorian, and I had grown to love English—because of Carolyn Green, the teacher who taught all the grades, 7-12. She was tough, she was strict, she ruled with an iron hand.” She went on to Northeast and Mississippi State to pursue her goal of teaching students to love language, r
    Snow Break Instead of Spring Break

    Snow Break Instead of Spring Break

    It came as if out of nowhere, a winter storm warning for all of Northern Mississippi that ended up issuing everyone out of in-person classes for up to a week. The warning itself was initially meant to last only until Monday night at 12:00, but the weather had other plans. We had no in-person classes Monday and Tuesday, but then Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday joined in the snowy and icy fun. Thanks to almost constant snowfall until around Wednesday and cold winds and temperat
    Lucky Charms

    Lucky Charms

    Lucky Charms may be known as a delicious breakfast cereal today, but this was not always the case. A charm, once upon a time, was meant as a way to promote something that the wearer or creator so desired. In this case, it is meant to promote good luck. What form of luck that may be resides solely on representation, as well as the purpose of said charm. Seeing as it is March, and St. Patrick’s day resides within this month, the shamrock and many other forms of charms have some
    St. Patrick's Day

    St. Patrick's Day

    St. Patrick’s Day has been celebrated in the United States since the year 1737. Wearing green, marching in parades, and drinking Guinness beer are all common traditions that Americans have deemed appropriate for the spring holiday. While most everyone knows that St. Patrick’s Day celebrates an Irish saint (as it’s in the name), not everyone knows that it’s actually not a holiday that is celebrated in Ireland. March 17 has been recognized as an important day by Ireland since t
    Dealing with Burnout

    Dealing with Burnout

    The past year dealing with COVID- 19 has caused our school year to be a little different regarding how classes, sports events, and other school functions have been handled throughout this year long pandemic. Due to the different school year, some students may feel like their motivation has left them and they’re unsure how to gain it back. Do you ever feel like you just can’t get out of the bed? This could be that you have overworked yourself or have become overwhelmed with th
