Especially at a rigorous school like Baylor, it’s easy to constantly compare yourself to your peers. Maybe you feel like you shouldn’t speak up in class because you think your ideas aren’t good enough. Perhaps you pass up applying for cool opportunities because you think your resume isn’t competitive. But the reality is that you have just as much to contribute as anyone else. Be confident in your own abilities, and know that there is a reason why you are exactly where you are.

“Their faith and friendship is just as compelling and real and attractive as anyone else’s,” Dr. Erik Carter said. “The way we gather in communities separates people — because of fear, because of attitudes, because of whatever. So that is now the running theme through all of the research I do: It’s how do you get people to be in community with one another in our schools, in our workplaces, in our churches, on our college campuses?”

Kweller had experienced a nosebleed on stage and attempted to stop the blood with a tampon thrown on stage by an audience member, which only lasted two songs, and then Kweller had to leave. The next day, Coyne put fake blood on his forehead and asked the audience members to throw tampons at him to help absorb the blood.

“We all have this individual and unique gift and expression, and when we come together and support each other, we create a pattern,” La Valleur-Purvis said. “I use geometric shapes to represent that story in ‘Lines of Diversity’.”

As a former Starbucks barista, I used to dread the start of fall drinks. Every August, my coworkers and I would be bombarded by groups of people enthusiastically ordering the most famous seasonal drink: the pumpkin spice latte. I’ll admit, when I was a 15-year-old, I also enjoyed a festive pumpkin beverage, but after working at Starbucks and being around it, I’ll say it doesn’t deserve the hype that it gets.

The king of fall keeps collecting folk and country artists like they’re Infinity Stones. Between Zach Bryan, Hozier and Kacey Musgraves, Noah Kahan is close to controlling the world. He is inevitable.

The Bible does not reject capital punishment, but it does provide requirements for it. A person can be killed justly if they have killed unjustly, but they must also be treated with humanity in the process.

“The Cove’s mission is about providing the after-school drop-in and outreach,” Dr. Timothy Packer, executive director of The Cove, said. “Our mission is to help young people in this transition from high school into post-high school. And what we know is that failing to graduate high school is one of the main contributing factors to why people experience homelessness as an adult, because it has so many knock-backs and consequences to future earnings, future health outcomes and continued instability in their life.”

Picture this: You’re in a Zoom meeting with an adviser trying to figure out what to study in college, suddenly realizing that this one small and seemingly insignificant decision might make or break the next 50 years of your life. Wait — that’s actually how it felt, wasn’t it? Being forced to choose your major before having 20 years of life experience under your belt is scary, but it doesn’t have to be the end all, be all.

In the college environment, mentorship is often thought of in the context of a student learning from a professor, whether that’s through research or academics. However, Baylor’s Office of the Provost offers mentorship among faculty, allowing them to grow together to promote a strengthened foundation for the Baylor community.
