Sure, it’s true other people in public perceive your significant other. So, why is a video about it bad? Because social media material on subjects like this takes a simple thing and runs with it. It serves as a constant reminder of insecurities and encourages viewers to assume the worst of their partners.

Walkable cities, where people can coexist with everything they need, are one of the missed opportunities of American culture. In reality, college is one of the only places to experience that feeling.
Regardless of which major you choose, it is wise to invest your time and money well. Baylor tuition is already an uphill battle, so it’s worth figuring out how to make the most of every penny. It starts by admitting that having only one major fails to do that.
No one is excluded from questioning how to live well, and Great Texts prepares you to answer.
In the realm of college life, where academics and extracurricular activities dominate, it is hard to think of hobbies that allow students to decompress. In a world that is perpetually on the go, shopping stands out as a sanctuary where one can simply just be.
The bottom line is that when we equate people to the ideas they hold, it ruins relationships — so much so that we all believe it is better to stay away from talking about politics at all.
The bottom line is this: When we cover a controversial topic or event, it does not mean we condone or encourage it. And when an individual writes a controversial column or opinion, it does not mean we all identify with the beliefs expressed in that column or opinion.
When we start getting into the more foundational aspects of political and cultural life, like whether or not gender or sex exist in an objective reality, the effort to seek a middle ground becomes intellectually dishonest and logically fallacious, because a middle ground simply does not exist.
I believe that God did not give everyone the drive they needed to achieve what they wanted. Not everyone has the drive to work hard to pursue their dreams. The drive to push distractions aside with no hesitation. The drive to risk everything to make sure the world is shaped the way they envision. Some people are OK with having other people tell them what they’re supposed to do in life, but how can someone go on their own path if they’re too busy listening to others?
Thinking before you drink and drive is vital. Before going out, come up with a plan. Have a rotation for designated drivers, or use rideshare apps like Uber. If the trip home is walkable, then travel with a big group.
Think twice before purchasing animal products at H-E-B. You will not only benefit your physical health but also help save animals and the planet, according to the new four-part series on Netflix, “You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment.”
With Black History Month commencing this week, we have the opportunity to highlight these businesses in our community. It is likely they will be receiving a bit more traffic than they typically would in any other given month due to the outpouring of support from locals in honor of the month. However, considering all that Black business owners go through in order to keep their businesses alive, shouldn’t we be giving them the credit they’re due year-round?
At some point, college basketball needs to do a better job protecting its athletes. While the student experience is important, it has the potential to cause serious damage. Simply adding more security around student sections won’t stop a swarm.
Call your grandparents, visit them, soak up all the wisdom and life stories that they have. It is truly such a gift to learn from the older generations.
In our day and age, life revolves around social media. With social media detoxes becoming a fad, it raises the question of whether or not they are effective or just for show.
It’s no secret that since Disney took over Star Wars in 2012, the conversation surrounding the franchise has been controversial, and a certain mouse-inclined company has been taking steps in the wrong direction since day one.
Your siblings are your very first friends, and I do believe they are meant to be some of your best.
Taking a break for a bit of rest and relaxation is not a crime, and snow days aren’t either.
While sports gambling is legal in 38 states, with two more expected to launch later this year, Texas is one of the few where it is illegal and punishable as a Class C misdemeanor with a maximum fine of up to $500 — at least for now. Texas sports betting on trending apps will have to wait until at least 2025, but with the rapid growth, the gambling world isn’t waiting to enforce cognitive habits that lead to splurges.
By sticking to one or two genres of music, you are depriving yourself of so much great music. If you have a sneaking suspicion that you will like a certain song or artist you’ve never listened to, I’m willing to bet you will.
Around the new year, people look for hobbies. Photography is a great one to pick up because it gives you the chance to meet new people and expand your creativity.
Some of the best discussions I have are with people I love the most. So don’t cross someone out of your life or disregard the opposition just for the sole fact that they disagree with you. Listen, learn and fire back properly. Do better.
Taylor Swift and other major private jet users have huge carbon footprints, but average individuals can still engage in climate-conscious behaviors that are as effective as they are fun.
Let us create a culture that supports mothers, regardless of their age, marital status or economic standing. Let us rid our society of judgment and replace it with love and care. Together, we can make baby steps toward transforming the way we think about motherhood.
The problem that exists in attending a church aimed specifically at college students is that it lacks the opportunity for growth. I believe the beauty of attending church is that you can meet a variety of people from all walks of life. Spiritual growth flourishes most when you surround yourself with those who are different from you rather than those who are similar.
My mom has made traditional Filipino food for dinner ever since I was a kid. I’m half German, so our home has a pretty international palette. Her homemade food beats that of any restaurant because of her versatile twist on each meal — and, well, she’s my mom.
When Gen Z girls were kids, we ran around Justice or bought every scent of Bath and Body Works hand sanitizer. Meanwhile, boys wore those Nike socks with the black line on the back. All was right in the world. So, why are kids trying to become adults when all of us are scraping for our last bits of childhood?
It’s a new year, but it’s the same old story. Why do we keep failing to maintain our New Year’s resolutions?
Something I have found helpful is to remember that God wants us to be compassionate, kind and loving individuals. There is not a black-and-white distinction between good and bad, contrary to the teachings of Catholicism that many of us grew up with.
Only suckers pay the sticker price, so let them! Instead, spend some time applying for a few scholarships after a well-thought-out conversation with a Baylor financial aid adviser. Somebody is going to walk home with that scholarship; why shouldn’t it be you?
