After hanging out with people, I often found myself trying to fit a mold that I thought people wanted to see at Baylor, which made me like a lot of things about myself less. If this happens, remember to celebrate others’ differences from yours. Appreciate who they are, not who you aren’t.
Every time I have come home within the past few months, there has been someone who asks me how my time at Baylor has been. I am able to tell them that it’s amazing every time, and there isn’t even a hesitation or a stretch from the truth.
Serving as the editor-in-chief of The Lariat has been the greatest privilege of my college career. I never could have imagined how bittersweet it would be to unpin my prints from the board, design my last staff meeting presentation and pass my final story on Camayak. But here I am, shedding a tear or two writing this letter.
It might be easy to immerse yourself in your part-time job or wish the next three months away in eager anticipation for the fall, but summer is the perfect time to build habits, not break them. So, if you’re looking for some extra ways to fill your summer calendar, here are some suggestions.
1500 miles away from home and three years in, I can finally say I’ve somewhat made Baylor a second home. It’s never too late to join an organization that best fits you. Remember to take a deep breath. You may not be able to see the future, but you can give it your all and go for it.
It’s an odd thing to simply wake up one day and be done with something that has played such a large part in your life. Soon, I’ll be ending my four-year career with The Baylor Lariat. Originally, I was going to write about that to end my time here, but I just couldn’t see anything more fitting than writing about the man who got me where I am today.
When most people think fondly of summer, it normally involves hot days spent splashing at the pool, laughter from friends both new and old and the “cha-ching!” of a biweekly paycheck hitting your account. Sure — to most, working in the summer is an effort to fund another Cowboy Coffee for when you desperately need a pick-me-up. But if you give them the chance, summer jobs have more life lessons packed into them than you would think.
After a hectic year of classes, many students take the opportunity to rest and recharge during the summer. While I understand wanting to take a break, I think students should be more open to taking summer classes. Taking summer classes helps you complete hours in a cheaper, more individualized way.

Sure, it may suck. But it already happened, and guess what? The world is still spinning. We’re still going about our daily lives. That’s why it’s important to remember mistakes that were made in the past so you don’t repeat them. But don’t ever think to yourself, “Man, I wish I could go back and do that differently.”
The idea of summer being this beautiful time of year for a break is just not reality. Summer is a sweaty and preoccupied time. This is not to say that I have never had fun during the summer, because I have. I am just pointing out that it is not all it is talked up to be and that there are better seasons in the year.
Our world is a consistently evolving place, and there’s no telling how technology will affect our future. So, as a society, it might be best to accept it and learn how it can help us.

While looking back on all my involvements, I can confidently say that I have no regrets participating in my weird mix of activities. I hope my fellow Bears can also say they have no regrets — not because they are limiting themselves but because they are experiencing as many things as possible.
