Whatever changes are made in Virginia can still have an effect in Texas and vice versa.
The breaks in the fall semester need some major updates, as students continually feel drained after two months of essentially no breaks. And no, the one-day fall break didn’t help.
Everyone has genitalia. So, why do we laugh or feel awkward when the anatomically correct terms are used in conversation? Stop beating around the bush and call them what they are.
It’s hard enough to juggle all of that, but giving your body the nutrients it needs to keep you moving is not the thing to let drift to the backburner. And just to be clear, caffeine isn’t an appropriate alternative for a meal. You need real food with vitamins and protein.
The cooler air, falling leaves and heavy jackets may make one feel dragged down, but there are many ways to combat that feeling and notice the good aspects of the season.
Just because a student is responsible for their child doesn’t mean their education is any less valuable or attainable.
While good journalism may seem difficult to come across, there are various ways to scope out those opportunities and revel in the idea of honest reporting.
The multicultural affairs office was a great idea to create, but unless it continues to strive to include all cultures, it is not doing its duty to our student body. Baylor, November is Native American Heritage Month; right this wrong.
Originally, I did not plan to rush — until a couple of weeks before the registration deadline. It is the best decision I have ever made in my college experience.
Your faith is yours alone, and you shouldn’t have to participate in certain events just because “everyone does it” in order to prove the level of a Christian you are.
With the recent attention brought to this case, it begs the question, can R. Kelly’s unspeakable actions be forgiven just because he made music that many people love? There is not a simple answer, but it is difficult to imagine supporting an artist who has done such unimaginable things.
It’s time for Baylor to allow students to make their own choices. After all, it is their education.
Gabby Petito isn’t the only woman to have gone missing this year. Is this social media taking a knack at solving a complex 21st century murder mystery? Why is she gaining attention while others are left in the dark?
Baylor needs to reconsider its missed testing protocols to determine whether it’s actually helping students or causing more issues.
Whether you live 50 miles or 500 miles from home, it can be all too easy to take the “out of sight, out of mind” approach when it comes to your relationships. Maybe you have time constraints or maybe you just plain forget, and there may always be a reason not to call home. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t.
Attending an event where the cost of a full table is $275,000 with an economic justice message plastered on the back of an expensive, fancy dress while rubbing elbows with society’s elite is, at best, a bad look politically — but, at worst, it is an exposure of a deep character flaw.
For many people, this is a difficult topic to discuss, but it is important to address it, as suicide is the second leading cause of death among 13- to 19-year-olds. This year, Baylor did not take the time to address National Suicide Prevention Week in a manner that would have been beneficial to people who may be struggling.
It’s time Americans everywhere exhibit a characteristic expected from each and every service member: integrity. Forget politics and self-interest. Those who do not have enough integrity to wipe away their own agenda when honoring our fallen heroes never deserved their respect, service or sacrifice in the first place.
This editorial is not about whether or not Baylor should enforce COVID-19 restrictions whenever they see fit. That is another discussion for another day. This is about Baylor’s commitment to the protocols that they’ve put into place.

Editorial boards are a common part of journalism that is commonly mistaken by readers. Even The New York Times published a breakdown of what an editorial board is and what it looks like in an effort to bring clarity to its audience—our goal is to do the same.
This year we have seen students at Baylor effect change in so many inspiring ways, from huge groups of students protesting for racial justice to students fighting for LGBTQ equality on campus.
The Baylor community stands in a position of privilege, viewing the world as a series of choices and options at our disposal with little difference between what the outcomes might be. Not all people, families or communities exist in that privilege, and vaccinating ourselves, in turn, protects others as well.
It probably doesn’t need to be said again, but this past year has been rough. And if you’re feeling burnt out, it’s not too late to make some changes to get your life back under control.
