Over the last decade, more and more sports leagues have been programmed to try to drain every last dollar they can from their fans through multiple subscription services for games, high stadium prices or overpriced gear — or in this case, renaming every sports award, game or halftime show after companies and brands.
Unlike other historic, yet revolutionary discoveries and inventions – like fertilizer, air conditioning, or aviation – oil and gas has not been able to quietly age into an unsung hero of modern life. Instead, the industry and its nearly 11 million American workers have been villainized and rejected by the very people who reap the benefits of oil and gas.
Many of us struggle with anxiety because we do not give ourselves time to breathe. When was the last time you took a day to yourself? When was the last time you spent your morning solely on journaling or working through a devotional? When was the last time you intentionally reflected on what areas of life you need growth in or what you’re most thankful for?
While tabling still needs attention-grabbing methods to attract new people, there is no need to yell, scream or rope people into conversation to do so. No one should leave Fountain Mall feeling as if they were ambushed, bamboozled or forced to have a conversation. Instead, recruiting efforts should be focused on attracting students through quality conversation, eye-catching graphics and students genuinely wanting to join.
We all know gossip isn’t going away anytime soon. And that’s okay. When we wield the power of our words wisely, we can significantly help build our relationships and communities. Being intentional with what we say can help us protect and connect with our peers.
Baylor University, as a private institution, has a unique and important role in the conversation of diversity, equity and inclusion in educational settings. We have the opportunity to be a leader and a trailblazer for DEI research and academia since our main source of funding doesn’t come from the government.
Animation is an art that needs to be protected and embraced. Some stories simply can only be told through animation. It requires a perfect blend of art and sound, and anything less would be an insult to its art and story. Sometimes you have to respect an original creation for how it was made and leave it at that.
Where some people have “Free Bird,” I have this song to play whenever I encounter an open expanse of road.
Tired of overpriced salon nails that don’t last? At-home nail techs offer better prices, personalized service and higher-quality designs — without the long waits or hidden fees.
Despite technological developments, car culture remains significant. It is a link to the past, a tribute to man’s creativity and an avenue for self-expression. As a once capstone of American culture, car culture is more than just the machines. The passion this community shares collectively is fundamental to preserving its history and rich influence.
These decisive actions are exactly what the American people voted for in 2024. It is great to see a president prioritizing national security and law enforcement instead of other less critical initiatives. While the implementation of these orders has and will face undue opposition from the left, everyone in the Trump administration seems to understand how bad the situation at the border is.
The two-block stretch, beginning at the intersection of Bagby and Fifth Street followed by the Bagby and Fourth Street intersection, is something I dread. It’s the ultimate patience tester.
In a world that focuses on release dates and what the newest albums have to offer, it feels like we have lost interest in re-discovering music from the past.
With All-University Sing on the horizon, and the level of competition increasing each year, it is natural to feel some sense of comparison versus other competitors and chapters. But, as a Panhellenic community, we should be uplifting and cheering on our fellow chapters.
This album did exactly what she set out to do — challenge what a genre is and what it should be. It shows that Beyoncé is more than just a pop star — she is a true visionary. She did not say that country should start over or be something completely new, but rather that its depth and history should not be forgotten during an era of change.
Even working-class Palisades residents — ranging from housekeepers to engineers — have been virtually ignored in favor of a slew of content regarding celebrities. Unlike the celebrities, these people were already being priced out of their homes, and will not likely will be able to return, especially as landlords use this opportunity to raise rents for the desperate, newly displaced.
Soccer isn’t just a sport — it’s a passion, a tradition and a connection that goes through generations. If you’ve never given it a real chance, maybe it’s time you did. You might just discover a new love for the beautiful sport.
Stop forcing yourself to be a leader if that’s not the path you see yourself in. If you are a leader, don’t diminish the excellence of your supporters. And if you are a college admissions officer, don’t reject someone just because they weren’t class president or football captain.
The Daily Beast and The Daily Wire are slowly taking the place of The Daily Planet. Our generation is responsible for this. We are watching and overseeing the end of an era as mainstream media sources are being edged out because of our embrace of social media.
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and we could all use a little sweet treat in our lives. Whether you’re gifting candy to your significant other or looking for a treat to enjoy yourself, some candies make better gifts than others.
There are heroes and villains in this world. Russia and other totalitarian states are embroiled in corruption, countless unreported atrocities and general malpractice. We are right to distance ourselves from such antagonistic powers. But does knowing what makes a nation not good mean that we embody — let alone know — what makes one good?
We must not put more unfit people in power just because of the party they affiliate themselves with. To ensure a better future for America we must improve the system we have been given by voting for candidates based on their merit, not their party.
What was once a way to see the funny videos your friends were uploading, social media has become a landfill of advertisements disguised as entertainment. Whether you realize it or not, you are exposed to hundreds of ads each day that influence your decision-making.
Science purports to have solved the proverbial question of whether infinite monkeys clacking away at typewriters could recreate Shakespeare’s works. They haven’t.
It’s not too late for the church to course-correct. Megachurches have the potential to do so much good, but only if they prioritize the Gospel over growth, humility over fame and service over spectacle. This means holding leaders accountable, ensuring transparency in financial practices and refocusing on the spiritual nourishment of their congregations.
We’re living in a world where a figure involved with the new administration does a Nazi salute at the presidential inauguration, books about government censorship are being banned by the government and cities are destroyed during “peaceful” protests. We’ve seen this unfold before. Make no mistake, political extremism is alive and and well, feeding off strategically placed propaganda running rampant through our media.
While TikTok may start as a harmless distraction, it often evolves into an obstacle getting in the way of productivity. Many students find themselves losing hours to unproductive scrolling, falling into procrastination spirals that eat away at valuable study time.
When it comes to cancer, any risk is too high, especially when that risk is preventable.
Nonchalance is the enemy. It’s birthed out of fear or the assumption that another person might find us “weird” or too talkative. The effects of not opening up out of fear and losing meaningful connections are more harmful than coming off as “too much.”
