We must revise more than we compare. We must try again, and again and again. Most of all, we must keep creating. We cannot give up before we’ve begun and succumb to the endless doomscroll of the lives we wish we had.

Over a decade has passed since I read “Little Women” for the first time, but it has remained at the top of my list of favorite books. The March sisters have been monumental in shaping the person I am today, and modern storytelling would look very different without Louisa May Alcott and her work.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as an agency, exists within the bounds of federal law. Acknowledging that fact does not require ignoring how its power is used. We are not trying to debate whether the U.S. has the right to enforce immigration law; we are concerned whether enforcement is carried out in a way that aligns with our democratic values, constitutional protections and moral obligations.

There’s a quiet grief that follows us out the door when leaving one place hurts and leaving another hurts too. That sadness isn’t something to apologize for — it’s proof of deep belonging.

The viral Adidas Tang jacket started a trend of incorporating traditional Chinese design features in modern fashion. However, it comes with a new wave of debate as to why Chinese culture is not being credited properly when selling Chinese-inspired clothing, creating complicated questions in balancing fleeting trends and true appreciation of culture.

Somewhere between lectures, homework, quizzes and deadlines, it seems that actually engaging with the people sitting next to us becomes optional — or something we actively avoid. By the end of the semester, we leave with a hopefully passing grade and a handful of half-remembered faces, but few real connections, if any at all.

As a single, Valentine’s Day is always an interesting holiday. Should singles celebrate or not? How should they celebrate if they do? Should I look for a date? The questions are endless, but I’m here to help all singles navigate the holiday.

Non-ownership owns our life. You do not buy and keep; you rent and renew. Access is the product, so access can be repriced, restricted or removed, sometimes with a cheery email that calls it an “update.” The customer becomes an account to manage, not a person to serve.

Despite the ideology that our culture and world have created, slow can be the most transformative and impactful speed at which to live our lives. Slowing down in a world of hurry and busyness allows you to truly see the plan God has for you.

Writing is not merely hanging on despite repeated attacks by the changing world. It’s progressing in tandem with each breakthrough, acting as a necessary component of our technological and communicative revolution.

Students have been battling textbook costs for years. Used books, online versions and buyback programs have made this a manageable fight, but professor-written required textbooks are an unavoidable expense.

For many believers, this concern is especially clear regarding abortion. Biblical passages such as Psalm 139 and Hebrews 12 emphasize God’s role as the author of life, leading some Christians to support policies that protect life from conception.

Every summer, college students hear the same advice: get an internship if you want a job after graduation. It sounds simple enough, but in reality, finding an internship can be incredibly difficult and time-consuming. There aren’t enough positions for the number of college students looking for internships, and the few that do are often highly competitive and require prior experience. This is a frustrating paradox: the only way to get experience is through an internship, yet you often need experience to get one.

Recently, the comedian Druski released a skit poking fun at Christian megachurches. Reactions to this skit include a shockingly large number of Christians describing the video as offensive and distasteful. Seeing these reactions, I was reminded of how poorly the modern church takes criticism.

In a world full of success and hustle culture, watching the friends you grew up with pack their bags to move to their dream city might spark feelings of insecurity. Despite this, it’s important to remember that everyone is on their own path, on their own time. It might not sound as glamorous as a packed U-Haul barreling its way to a new city, but returning to your hometown post-grad is just as fulfilling.

Starting a conversation with someone you haven’t talked to in a while can be stressful, but more times than not, making the effort to send a small text results in a renewal of a connection.

Although winter is identified by its harshness, many forget to remember the warmth that encapsulates it — a warmth not found in any other season. It exists in small moments, like warm hugs, warm mugs and warm encounters.

After ranking the top five bathrooms to use on Baylor’s campus, I cautiously present the worst five bathrooms available to the public on this campus.

As many students struggle to find affordable housing options and the cost of living nationwide continues to rise, Waco leasing companies and apartment complexes should offer discounted rent prices to Baylor students.

By prioritizing mental health in roommate matching, Baylor has the unique opportunity to transform nightmare roommate situations into partnerships that support and uplift roommates.

Dorm rooms and shared apartments function like small laboratories of adulthood. They are imperfect, crowded and often uncomfortable by design. You learn quickly that no one is coming to enforce bedtime or remind you to eat vegetables. In that absence, habits quietly step in to fill the void. How you wake up, how you respond to mess, how you treat shared space, how you handle tension — these patterns begin to solidify long before you realize they are becoming yours.

In today’s world, where headphones, cellphones and endless scrolling dominate daily life, the simple act of saying “Hi, how are you?” and “Good morning” is long gone. Streets, neighborhoods and stores are busier than ever, yet somehow quieter at the same time. Places that once felt lively now feel like spaces we merely pass through while running errands. Even brief, casual conversations with people we encounter have nearly gone extinct.

On social media platforms, Baylor showcases images of its beautiful campus, smiling students and graduate success stories, all reinforcing a promise of personal, academic and professional achievement. While these photos of perfection and happiness are a nice visual, they do not accurately reflect the stress and competitive nature many students, myself included, experience behind the scenes.

The world is full of war, unrest, starvation and strife. America itself struggles with political turmoil, disunity and evil. While millions of things vie for our attention and beg to be fixed, one of our biggest defenses is compartmentalization.

At a time when conversations about immigration and national identity dominate American political discourse, looking to Scripture to find guidance and clarity presents itself to Christians as a dire and urgent matter.

The Bible counters self-love culture’s mantra of independence, and instead it teaches us that we are made whole through utter dependence on God and engagement with the community of the Church.

Stress is real. Overwhelm is real. Mental health struggles are real. But not every moment of discomfort, pressure or frustration is a crisis. When we label everything as one, we do real harm to people experiencing genuine emergencies and who rely on systems designed to respond to true crises.

In 2026, the world’s biggest sporting event comes to North America. Three countries. Millions of fans. One shared passion. The World Cup isn’t just about what happens on the field — it’s about the moments that bring the world together.

Don’t waste time scrolling on social media — we have the infallible goods. Tap in to see nine trends to watch for in the new year.

Zoos get a pretty bad rap. For a place filled with furry friends and fantastical creatures, you’d expect the general sentiment toward them would be slightly positive, if not outright supportive.
