Bon Appetit is the estranged step-cousin that the George Fox University (GFU) family loves wholeheartedly but whose life choices are, at times, somewhat questionable. I wish it were different, but that is the way it is. Bon Appetit uses an app called GET Mobile. The GET app promises that we can order and pick up lunch straight from Canyon Commons, which sounds impressive. However, using the app limits you to four options, none of which are what is actually for lunch that day. This limitation frustrates many of GFU’s students.

The Oscars proved quite eventful this year with the slap heard ‘round the world—and by the world, I of course mean TikTok.

After the abnormal three day weekends of our Spring Break last year, we finally get a normal week off! For Mar. 21-25, students will have a week off to visit family or stay on campus and hangout with friends. The cause for celebration was short-lived, however, as those who want to stay on campus are not allowed to (if they do not meet certain criteria).

“Eternals,” the newest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), is a film so full of content that there’s no room for it to succeed. With a dizzying ensemble of characters new to the screen, much of this movie feels like an overcrowded party, leaving the viewer trying to catch people’s names and struggling to remember their stories.
The GFU music department concerts are attended mostly by parents who can afford to make the trip, music faculty, and a few select students who have friends performing. But Bauman Auditorium is far from full capacity.
