If you’ve ever had a desperate visit to the emergency room and looked through your itemized bill, you know exactly what I’m talking about — you do a double-take. You take off your glasses so you can see better. Is that another zero right there?

Media literacy is at an all-time low. Let’s take a minute to explain who we are and what we do.

It’s cuffing season. The season consisting of sorority and fraternity formals, flannel and the look of desperation.

Using social media as a virtual diary can make it easy to connect with long-distance friends and family, especially in college when the miles between us feel like a galaxy. But, living so publicly has very real repercussions that tend to be forgotten or downplayed.

What is a fascist? Is it as simple as an authoritarian ruler? A catch-all descriptor for political opposition?

These “trad” wives seen on social media are the exception, not the expectation. Their whole lives are based around being moms — of course, they are going to be able to dedicate all their time to raising their kids exactly how they want. The truth is this lifestyle will likely never be a reality for most young women who want a family someday.

For some people with long commutes, it can be a lifesaver. But too much freedom can be a bad thing. Without a structured environment, it can lead to procrastination or working in small bursts surrounded by long periods of distraction.

With the election coming up, we ought to attend in-person political events, especially events hosted by political parties we are not affiliated with. By watching and listening to people talk about their political standings, we add a sense of humanity to our differences.

Those with a platform have a responsibility that comes with it. Acting as role models for their young, impressionable fanbases is one of them. Instead streamers, with some of the largest followings, are riddled with hatefulness, erratic behavior, toxic masculinity and misogyny.

Survival players might be seen as those who thrive in high-pressure environments. Creative players, on the other hand, might be more drawn to exploration, self-expression, and freedom.

There are many topics that well-meaning Christians from both sides disagree on. But one of the most universal beliefs amongst Christians is that witchcraft is not something to mess with.

We know most of you read a column from the Lariat about fall and its down-“falls.” That was a misrepresentation of our true character. The fact is we love fall. We love pumpkin spice, Starbucks and Ugg boots.

Every homecoming matters. Whether it is your first Baylor Homecoming, your second, third or even 20th, we can gain more precious moments here in the place we spent years calling home. Even when new traditions are formed, we can always appreciate looking back at past homecomings with fondness, and these memories grow more dear the older we become.

If you have never picked up a golf club and you’re a business major, add golf lessons and golf clubs to your Christmas list. And if you already play golf as a business major, keep practicing. Nothing is more embarrassing than shooting a 107 with a potential client.

The bad behavior seen in sports gambling is truly disturbing and has no place in society. So if you’re going to place a bet, remember this: Athletes aren’t losing your money, you are.

I get that “we’re a basketball school” and being in Texas automatically makes football a big deal, but Baylor’s other sports teams are just as important and deserve more support from the student body.

Would a stranger know you were a Christian if you didn’t tell them? Don’t let the verse speak for you. Your actions will speak for themselves.

According to an article from CBS, Combs’s average streams saw an 18.3% increase following his arrest in September. Although searching for an artist after a controversy is not an uncommon or unethical action, listening to Combs’s music on a monetary streaming platform only puts extra money in his pockets.

“Dumb and Dumber” had just been released, the average gallon of gas cost $1.15 and “Creep” by TLC was the No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 list. This is what life was like on Jan. 29, 1995 when the Dallas Cowboys last won a Super Bowl.

Combs was arrested in September and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. Since his arrest in September, more than 100 alleged victims have come forward with accusations against him. In addition to these allegations, TikTok sleuths have concocted countless conspiracy theories in conjunction with the charges.

People deal with change differently, but there tend to be two types of people in this world: those who accept change with open arms and those who fear it. However you cope, your attitude toward change matters, so it may be time for a mindset makeover.

With all the promotion Baylor does for the event, the preparation of updating and perfecting resumes and the careful selection of a professional outfit the night before, I would hope the event would be worth my time. But each year my hopes are dashed by the lack of options for journalism majors.

For Vance, the issue comes from having to defend — whether he believes them or not — the often baseless claims of former President Trump. For Walz, the challenge is defending Vice President Harris as she continues to be tight-lipped on policy plans.

Being busy college students can get us into the habit of being work-minded all the time. Being dedicated to your studies and working a job are both good things — but you’re still a kid. Having fun and being joyful is important.

Politicians — the ones who craft our laws and run our government — should be held to the highest standard of speech imaginable. Yet, we are constantly letting them get away with it every time. For a country who claims open disdain for almost all politicians, how are we so lax on keeping them accountable?

Reject modernity. Return to a lifestyle of awe and wonderment.

Adding green powder to your diet won’t instantly make you lose weight, and adopting a keto diet can take several months to see any progress. But influencers appear to have never looked better, often thanks to Photoshop, steroid use or medical treatments like Ozempic, which makes this whole weight loss phenomenon pretty misleading.
