Much like the rest of Cain’s discography, “Perverts” isn’t exactly a casual listen. It’s not meant to be consumed while doing the dishes, walking on the treadmill or going grocery shopping. It’s one of those albums you listen to in a dark room, in silence, maybe curled up in bed. It demands undivided attention, solemnity respect.
As the spring semester kicks off at Baylor, students are diving into new classes, tight schedules and a wave of responsibilities. Amid the hustle, self-care often takes a back seat, but experts and students alike emphasize its importance for maintaining balance and avoiding burnout.

Born from the ashes of Vine and Musical.ly, TikTok has captured the attention spans of Americans for half a decade.

It’s a good thing Baylor is no slouch when it comes to putting on events and performances. So, do yourself a favor this semester by breaking out of that endless cycle and checking out some of these arts and entertainment events put on by fellow classmates and peers and snag some CAE credits while you’re at it.

I would advise doing a little preemptive research into the characters and songs before watching the film. But even without it, you will still be able to enjoy beautiful scenery, funny one-liners and musical numbers that will have you blasting the soundtrack on the drive home.
