If you’re eager to know what some of the most commonly-spotted looks will be at Zilker Park this year — whether that’s to try out these fun trends or to avoid them and stand out from the crowd — here is a brief fashion forecast.

Redshirt sophomore guard Cameron Carr is the lone player on Baylor’s roster to share a practice court with last season’s team. The former four-star and ESPN top 100 recruit is coming into the season carrying the burden of an expected leader for the Bears.

“We want to know that the companies coming here have hired our students before, because I don’t want a company showing up that’s just here to check the box,” Rylander said. “I want them to come and actually hire our students. So if they have history hiring our students, they get on the list to get invited. It’s a privilege for companies to be here.”

Many students reported receiving an email from the Waco Hall Ticket Office Sunday. The email warned that because the student bought tickets for one of the first three home football games and didn’t attend, one more occurrence would delay them in purchasing tickets for the Homecoming game Nov. 1.

The top priority is understanding that it takes courage to speak up in a government-created society of censorship. Cancel culture is not doing anyone favors. Stand firm in your opinion and be loud in your delivery, and as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”

I’m slowly learning that hobbies don’t owe me anything — not content, not income and not a line on my resume. They’re supposed to give, not take. Maybe the best thing a college student can do right now is to keep something private and useless — read a book you’ll never post about, dance in a dorm room with no camera on, paint a banner that no one pays for. Joy doesn’t need a price tag to matter.

After my diagnosis with POTS, I had to figure out the best way to still be able to function. After I started to properly and consistently take care of myself, I realized the most important priority is self-care.

Baylor should absolutely celebrate its traditions, its faith and, of course, its close-knit culture. Those things are what’s worth holding onto. However, if the goal is to nurture students who can make an impact anywhere, Baylor has to challenge us to grow beyond the Baylor bubble. Otherwise, we risk being prepared solely for life here and not for the life that awaits us all after we leave.

Instead of wasting our time attempting to solve the great question of why there’s evil and suffering in the world, we should take a step away from our logical mindsets and step into a mindset of empathy.

The Bears’ rise to No. 20 in the nation starts at the back. With poise, leadership and depth, Baylor’s defense has become the backbone of its breakout season.

If you haven’t committed to a costume yet and are working as a duo this time around, allow me to assist. I’ve got low-maintenance options for couples, best friends and siblings galore. All it takes is a trip to your local Spirit — or thrift shop if you’re feeling creative!

One of the best parts of being music fans is supporting our favorite artists. We buy and listen to their music, share their new releases with our friends and make sure to purchase front row tickets for every show. Well, maybe not that last part, but for many fans, simply getting into the building to see their favorite artists can be a challenge.

Several pop icons such as Doja Cat, Cardi B and Zara Larsson had big releases this weekend, and I’m here to discuss some of the hits off these new releases — plus a release from an up-and-coming indie rock group. Tune in to get some fresh new bangers to add to your playlist.
