When Hurricane Katrina stormed across the Southeast, thousands of people were forced to leave their homes and relocate across the United States.
Families were uprooted from their lives in a matter of days and had to start over again in a new place. Junior sprinter and jumper Justine Charbonnet of the Baylor women’s track and field team was one of many affected by the devastation New Orleans faced in 2005. Although leaving her home so abruptly was hard, Charbonnet’s story ends well.
The Baylor Bears will travel to Ames, Iowa on Saturday to take on an Iowa State team that is undefeated at home in Big 12 Conference play.
The Bears were off to an exceptional start in big 12 play but faltered against Oklahoma to lose their first Big 12 home game. Baylor looks to regain momentum by giving Iowa State its first loss at James H. Hilton Coliseum.
In the United States, we celebrate the new year for one day and then move on. However, in China, the New Year lasts for much longer than that.
Chinese New Year, or “Spring Festival” as it’s called in China, is a 15-day celebration that starts with the new moon on the first day of the new year and ends with the full moon 15 days later.
Chinese New Year is in a little over a week, so when I was deciding on a DIY piece for this week, I headed over to pinterest and typed “Chinese New Year DIY.” Original? I’d like to think so.
I ended up finding a fortune cookie recipe. Not exactly a DIY, but hey, they’re fortune cookies. I mean how do you say no to fortune cookies?
This lunar new year the Asian Students Association (ASA) is bringing the Chinese New Year and its traditions to Baylor.

Mission Waco volunteers will celebrate their past year of service to the Waco community on Tuesday.
The Mission Waco Banquet will take place at 6 p.m. Tuesday in
Chisholm Hall of the Waco Convention Center.
I’m going to be honest with you: I’m not a morning person.
Whenever I wake up before 10 a.m. or so, I’m groggy, incoherent and generally unhappy to be awake. This semester, the need to fulfill my degree requirements has forced me to enroll in an 8 a.m. class every day of the week. It’s a language class, too, which means I have to be on my toes — I’m not naturally gifted where language is concerned and need to study hard, participate and pay attention in order to do well.
Texans are proud of their state, and they should be. People are proud to live in this state because Texas has immense history and astounding tradition.
I grew up in Texas, and I love things like BBQ, fried foods and every other sort of southern charm. I said words like “y’all” and “fixin to,” and embraced everything about the South. I love pick-up trucks and sodas, especially Dr Pepper.
There has been a disturbing rumor flying around Baylor.
The rumor often crops up as a justification for a nonsensical or incongruous building project. The question “Why did Baylor do that again?” is raised and an inevitable but uninformed answer is, “Oh, we’re trying to get into the Ivy League.”
We’re going to ignore the abject ridiculousness of this statement for a minute to provide some context.

At the Central Texas Marketplace, a strip center near Highway 6 and Interstate 35, Baylor students have encountered a sea of black, rustling feathers while shopping and dining out.
In the wake of recent gun violence, one Texas bill may impact college campuses and their safety.
Texas State Sen. Brian Birdwell, who represents Waco and surrounding District 22 counties, recently filed legislation to allow students, faculty and staff with a concealed handgun license to carry firearms for personal protection on college campuses.
What was once inconceivable is now a reality. Gardeners can now text their plants.
Plant Link, a new product designed by Baylor alumni, allows gardeners to water their plants properly by calculating the plants’ environment and when it should be watered. Baylor graduate (’11) Eduardo Torrealba (’11) who is the founder and CEO of Oso Technologies, developed Plant Link after his wife received a plant from a former professor and it began to wither.
Imagine if your every movement was being scrutinized and you knew that with the click of a button, thanks to social media, it’s all readily available with a couple button-clicks or keyboard-strokes.
A gunman opened fire at a Phoenix office complex on Wednesday, killing one person, wounding two others and setting off a manhunt. Police warned the public that he was “armed and dangerous.”
The Baylor Bears fell to the Oklahoma Sooners 74-71 in a thrilling Big 12 Conference game on Wednesday night at the Ferrell Center.
The Bears came out in the first half and played lethargic basketball. They only managed 26 first-half points. Oklahoma, on the other hand, shot 53 percent from the field in the first half and surmounted a convincing 12-point lead going into the half, 38-26. The Bears only held the lead one time in the contest and that was early in the game with a 4-2 advantage.
It only took a couple of seconds for senior center Brittney Griner to break the Big 12 scoring record.
She scored the first four points of the game as the No. 1 Baylor Lady Bears defeated Texas Tech 90-60 on Wednesday. She now has a Big 12 record 2,835 career points.
Along with VCRs, fanny packs and Rosie O’Donnell, the great sport of tennis has been an American afterthought for years. This is a sad fact, because the excitement of the game goes far beyond a recorded episode of “The View.”
Millions of people will plant themselves on their couches on Sunday and stuff their faces with nachos and pizza for one of the best traditions that the United States has to offer.
As an avid sports fan, my heart races with excitement at the thought of watching championship football, but the Super Bowl isn’t the only event circled on my calendar on Sunday.
