However, those remaining and graduating at Trinity may have several questions about switching to a less traditional mode of learning. So, for the enlightenment of all who plan to stay at TIU, Dean Wrobbel and Dr. Kristin Lindholm have answeredThu, 13 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0100https://www.thetrinitydigest.com/articles/2f302ekm9ditu0muu37z62lmaihfkx-3zfrf-t89gp-ees92-6x8an-sgjp8-7dz8r-rcks8-aggzk-7nr2e-cnxt5-zfrka-s9krbhttps://www.thetrinitydigest.com/articles/2f302ekm9ditu0muu37z62lmaihfkx-3zfrf-t89gp-ees92-6x8an-sgjp8-7dz8r-rcks8-aggzk-7nr2e-cnxt5“Don’t wait for inspiration. It comes while working." - Henri Matisse Creativity is no doubt one of the most amazing things that we as humans are capable of. The spark of creativity that brought us so much light and beauty, and inspired so much innovation, can be found in each and every one of us. Although we are all capable of creativity, there are still prevailing myths about creativity that can be demoralizing and even discourage you from being your most creative self.

If you don't celebrate those, they can pass you by.” As we make our way towards the end of this semester, the reality that we Trinity students will not be coming back to campus next fall is becoming more real with each passing day. For many of us, Trinity has been a home away from home; here, many of us have found a family that we could laugh with, cry with, and make memories with—memories that we can celeTue, 21 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000https://www.thetrinitydigest.com/articles/2f302ekm9ditu0muu37z62lmaihfkx-3zfrf-t89gp-ees92-6x8an-sgjp8-7dz8r-rcks8https://www.thetrinitydigest.com/articles/d2xkiisv2zqwjatxttkrpszbdu63nrHave you ever heard the saying “Christmas is a season, not a day”? In Romania, this phrase is taken to a whole other level as soon as mid-November rolls around. Throughout the Christmas season are spread other holidays, dedicated to saints of the church, the first of which is celebrated on November 30 and marks the glorious start of the Christmas season. Even when Christmas was “officially” banned by the communist regime in Romania, people still found ways to carry out their ancient Christmas tTue, 13 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://www.thetrinitydigest.com/articles/d2xkiisv2zqwjatxttkrpszbdu63nrhttps://www.thetrinitydigest.com/articles/2f302ekm9ditu0muu37z62lmaihfkxAs the semester comes to an end, TIU and the TIU women’s volleyball team can look back onto a wonderfully well-played and navigated season. Bringing home the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) national championship, this team and their coaches have shown their hard work and dedication. “This season has been amazing,” said freshman Marinna Liedle, one of the team’s setters. “It’s been a joyful season, full of a lot of hard work.” The team started off strong, winning 20 of Tue, 13 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://www.thetrinitydigest.com/articles/2f302ekm9ditu0muu37z62lmaihfkxhttps://www.thetrinitydigest.com/articles/e6r2koru03asqs5f259sf6cniee325-lrfnc-5xy2m-ta867-237mf-h48ewLast Tuesday, students gathered together in the ATO Chapel and later across the campus to come together in prayer. The Day of Prayer, which traditionally is held once a semester, was held in multiple sessions throughout the day, starting at 9:00 a.m. and finishing at 7:00 p.m. The Day of Prayer had the theme of “Reveal, Renew, and Revive.” The first gathering, which was centered around prayer and worship, was held in the ATO Chapel from 9:00 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. This gathering was opened by Dr. Tue, 15 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://www.thetrinitydigest.com/articles/e6r2koru03asqs5f259sf6cniee325-lrfnc-5xy2m-ta867-237mf-h48ewhttps://www.thetrinitydigest.com/articles/yawl57q2zfwd3z5xqhprkzb75j5nskLife is hectic and chaotic, and seemingly a hundred times more so when you’re a college student. As assignments, commitments, sports, and clubs pile up, things like physical health sometimes get placed on the backburners of our minds until it’s too late. Numerous studies have shown that it is crucial that healthy habits should be formed as early on as possible. The habits that we form now, especially concerning our physical health, will greatly impact us in the future.

Who is this unique and intriguing character? His name is Christopher Firestone. A native of the south side of Chicago, Dr. Firestone didn’t think that he would go into philosophy, especially when he had originally gone to college in order to get a degree in mathematics. “I took a philosophy class, and that’s when I fell in love with it,” Firestone saiTue, 11 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0100https://www.thetrinitydigest.com/articles/nn6ndmmmmu7y7f3rx74hb2ekg7rhl4https://www.thetrinitydigest.com/articles/todfh1wnuty8455ib0odam5sckdsjtFor a lot of college students, life can get pretty busy. When that happens, chances are that organization isn’t such a high priority, and maybe understandably so. But you might be surprised how important staying organized actually is. Being disorganized can lead to being stressed. Stress that is left unchecked can quickly spiral out of control, negatively impacting your mental and physical health. According to the Mayo Clinic, stress can lead to sleep problems, muscle pain, and general fatigue.Thu, 29 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0100https://www.thetrinitydigest.com/articles/todfh1wnuty8455ib0odam5sckdsjthttps://www.thetrinitydigest.com/articles/kbdc1cnw8roxah8oknnmgr2fu44psgPicture this: You have finished your finals, for better or worse, and you are getting used to the idea of vacation for three months. Now, instead of staying up late into the night to study and complete procrastinated assignments, you stay up binge watching your favorite shows. After your last Thursday final, you do not even bother to set an alarm, because you know that you can finally sleep in. Friday comes and passes, and you do not do much.

For an hour or so, worries melt away as students take a bite into a delicious chicken sandwich or dip a perfectly crisp fry into melted cheese that is not actually real cheese. But this leads to these questions: Where do students want to go out to eat around campus? What is their favorite restaurant?
