While the Baylor Bears are away, the city of Waco continues to stay busy through the summer, and that goes for its blooming art community, too. For art enthusiasts who remain in Waco through this sweltering season, Art Center Waco will provide plenty of paintings, sculptures and installations created by artists Ty Nathan Clark and Vy Ngo.

While campus may be quiet during the summer months, Waco is certainly not on pause. Here are some of the best things to put on your Waco itinerary that happen each week, and some things to look forward to so there’s always something to do.

“She has a heart of gold and her mission, honest to God, is to love you, and she is going to do it with these cinnamon rolls,” Cook said. “My suspicion is that the secret to Kimberly’s success has far more to do with how she treats other people than even the quality of her product.”

As the hotly-anticipated summer vacation approaches, you may be wondering what to do with all that spare time now that classes are out. Although some of us may be working a job or internship, here are our favorite things to do with our down time during the summer months if you’d like to do something other than scroll on social media all day.

Niall Horan has been killing it recently, releasing banger after banger and bringing back simple and fun pop music. “Meltdown” has a backing chorus of singers that is almost operatic, lending a really bright sound to the song. It’s high energy and so happy, almost like the Irish member of One Direction’s answer to Harry Styles’ “As It Was.”

Going through victims’ stories has not only helped Talluri to realize how many people experience assault, but also how many people likely haven’t told their stories yet. Albrarran said unfortunately, assaults occur more often than most are willing to admit, with one in four women and one in six men experiencing assault in their lifetime.

This spring was a much more competitive semester for music. Just over 42% of the chart is taken up by albums with only one or two students choosing them as a favorite. Even the most hotly-anticipated albums are spread more evenly, as Morgan Wallen’s “One Thing at a Time” only claimed 25% of the results.

“You’re making something that other people are going to view and appreciate, and you can just not be so stressful and meticulous over everything,” Barber said. “You can be a little more fluid and understand that mistakes or little blemishes are part of a piece. It doesn’t have to be perfect.”

When going about campus on a busy day, it’s not uncommon to see a dog or two accompanying one of the many students rushing to get to their next class. While some of these dogs are simply pets, some of them serve their owners in more ways than just being ‘man’s best friend.’

“Whether you’re one of those people who are like, I know what I’m gonna do, and that’s fantastic, or whether you’re someone who is taking a lot of different changes and different majors and turns in your career, that’s okay, too,” Kade said. “You don’t have to have everything figured out.”

Another thing they have in common is the spilling problem. Stanley cups leak when you just tip it just a tad. Although Hydro Flasks are clearly the better product, my biggest spilling problem is from that. I have had so many days where my backpack has been soaked from the bottle spilling everywhere.

As studying kicks up in the next couple of weeks in an attempt to save your GPA this semester, it’s important to remember to take a break every once in a while. Here are our recommendations for a relaxing study break.

First, it’s a refreshing break from other new reality TV releases like “Love is Blind.” There’s no brattiness or catfights, and you can safely watch “Jury Duty” knowing that the whole thing being scripted is part of the fun, not just a way to force an otherwise boring show to be more interesting.

So, it sounds like Khalid might be making a surprising comeback this summer with “Be The One.” Although he’s just a feature, he really makes this song what it is. When I hear the track, I’m ready to get home for the summer, hit some trails and soak up the sunshine.
