Well, if you are like me and can’t afford to go somewhere, stay in Waco. It can be fun. Over spring break, there are lots to do and even if you don’t want to do any of that, stay home, sleep in and watch some new shows.

Though many of us may believe it’s time to relax, that is not the consensus for all college students. I mean, there’s dozens of movies about the notorious week in March when college students go crazy on beaches and get in all sorts of trouble.

I can’t say I’ve ever unpacked or thought about unpacking the day after getting back to school, but my personal goal is to have it done within a week. Schedule a laundry and organization day for yourself to gradually get things together.

I understand social media is a gadget that allows us to inform others about what we’re up to, but know that “college student” and “spring break” don’t mix well, especially in the eyes of those who are not in college.

Only 20% of colleges across the U.S. have the same 2023 spring break dates as Baylor, with the remaining 80% having their break planned for later.

Public restrooms should serve to welcome and suit the needs of anyone who uses them. That’s why institutions like Baylor hire staff to restock soap and toilet paper and to keep the facilities clean. Baylor should do the same for the women on campus by providing free and accessible feminine products in the bathrooms.

Baylor should invest in charging stations for electric vehicles on campus as they are quickly becoming the future.

There are ways to pay teachers more, even if it means spending less in other areas. It should be everyone’s priority to ensure students are in good hands.

I make it my mission to take the best photo possible when I’m out in nature, and I usually receive a lot of comments which sum up to “just enjoy the moment.”

In the broadcast booth or on the sideline, my genuine love for sports will shine through until the day I fade away, but if I was 6-foot-anything, I would be a star.

When people talk about others, it influences your perception and bias about the subject of gossip. Gossip destroys reputations and gives subjects of gossip a disadvantage before people know them.

In high school, seniors get the first row of the bleachers in games; in professional spaces the senior level employees typically have more influence and power; even senior citizens get discounts at places like the zoo or movie theaters. When it comes to milestone Baylor traditions like Sing, seniors should also be treated special.

No matter if you love or hate Sing, you can’t deny there’s something magical about hundreds of students coming together to create elaborate performances to entertain thousands. Sing isn’t just about performing, it’s about the experience of coming together as a community.

But alas, tickets sell out in minutes. I’m happy they do, but I truly have to contemplate if I’m able to “splurge” on the price of them. This year, they were upwards of $30 for students and the general public.

I see it in so many different facets, but it’s time to stop being hypocritical.

We perceive God with whatever makes sense to us, but deliberately altering the image of God to whatever you please is not something that I think most Christians can get behind.

COVID-19 will hopefully turn into a thing of the past, and we won’t have to dictate our lives off of it anymore. It is finally time to drop the needless policies in some areas along with the many controversies involving the pandemic.

Someone will always be better than you and there is no getting around that. Rather than viewing yourself as inferior, learn from those that are better than you and really pick their brains and their work.

Getting its claim to fame from TikTok, a “hot girl walk” is the term used to describe a long walk that helps people stay active and think positively about themselves while getting fresh air. As an added bonus, they are a good confidence booster.

Begin to prioritize implementing the values and characteristics you desire to practice so you’re always confident you are showing others the version of yourself you’re most proud of.

To help solve the overpopulation issues at local animal shelters, a very simple solution is to bring in and take care of a cat as one of your pets.

What sport did you play as a kid?

You chose your major for a reason. Don’t judge someone else for theirs.

On Monday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced a plan to ban TikTok across the state, and it’s a long-overdue move that will begin eradicating the most invasive social media platform from the app store.

Interpersonal relationships should be invested in just as much as jobs, if not more. Having your people to share those professional wins makes the payoff that much better.

For certain periods of my childhood, UGGs went out of style. But as someone who continued to wear them until they fell apart, I believe they never truly went out of style — the trend just slowed down. Many people will try to deem UGGs “cheugy,” but celebrities and many others still wear the notable shoe.

Our faith is an opportunity to transcend this world and get a glimpse of the heavenly banquet that awaits us. But to make use of this opportunity, we must quiet ourselves in peaceful contemplation. We must remember that Christians have been practicing for over 2,000 years, and that many traditional hymns are rooted in this rich, longstanding history. We must abandon contemporary frivolities that disrupt sacred celebrations.

There’s a clear stigma that Baylor students are all upstanding Christians and continuously growing in their journeys with the Lord, but how many of us really see ourselves fitting into that mold?

Professors should be cognitive of students’ time and try not to overload students with information or double up on topics.

If you are wondering where the No. 1 place to go number two is.
