It’s Christmas music season — and, sorry haters, but rocking around the Christmas tree starts on Nov. 1. Once the spooky season is over, it’s time to deck the halls, and the most wonderful time of the year wouldn’t be complete without the holiday tunes we all love.
Some might disagree, but I believe Christmas is about more than the birth of Christ. I know that sounds ridiculous, because it has his name in it. I certainly acknowledge that Jesus is the reason a lot of people celebrate Christmas, but I have different reasons.
Every year, the same question is asked: Should we tell people “happy holidays” or “merry Christmas”? And every year, my eyes roll to the back of my head over it.
The holidays are coming, and with them comes good food, less heat and — what I believe is one of the worst possibilities of human interaction — small talk. This year, I propose we all collectively agree to skip it.
The meals I prepare at home cost, on average, $4 for groceries. Another study done by Forbes showed that eating out was about five times more expensive than cooking at home.
A harsh reality that took me a long time to accept is that I am accountable for my own feelings. People are accountable for harm and are harmful every day. So, your feelings could get hurt 24/7 if you let them. That is completely up to you.
Music is at its best when a story is being told, whether the story is being told in one song or throughout an entire album.
You get to decide every day how you develop love in your relationship. Love can be experienced in a number of ways, but your actions determine if the love lives or dies.
Apparently the column in which I ranked vegetables was so life-changing that my editor gave me the green light to do another list. But what should I rank this time?
Tote bags are very cute and — dare I say — aesthetic, but they are not practical as backpacks. Backpacks, by design, are made to distribute the weight on your back and shoulders. A tote bag doesn’t.
Comment trolling isn’t just present on the Lariat’s Instagram feed; it’s everywhere, even in Kim Kardashian’s comment section. No person is exempt from people’s opinions, especially on the internet. It’s unsettlingly easy to make a comment on someone’s post and forget until someone starts fighting back.
College students have a craze for pets. They are deemed as superior sources of solace for busy and tiresome college life; seeing your dog rush to you the minute you open the door or your cat stretching its petite arms and legs after a good day’s sleep erases all weariness and stress. While they could release pressure and add color to your college palette, don’t get yourself a pet before you’re responsible enough for one.
You’re wrong if you think someone with 18.4 million Instagram followers and 31.7 million Twitter followers making a statement on social media has no effect.
While you undoubtedly need to spend time with friends and family and participate in fun group activities, you weren’t made to be social 100% of the time. Indeed, a balance exists among work, rest and play, and it’s time we embrace it.
Despite popular opinion, there should be a clear No. 1 choice here in terms of options at Chick-fil-A. Whether you’re dipping fries or nuggets, Polynesian is the easy selection when an employee asks which sauce you desire.
“Modern slavery” or human trafficking happens more often than most realize. The first step to ending this atrocity is understanding the weight of the issue and the impact it has on over 50 million people.
Many issues the homeless community faces are overlooked. According to a study by the National Homelessness Law Center, 20% of the homeless nationwide suffer from untreated mental illnesses, and the leading cause of homelessness in women is domestic violence.

The Canvas what-if feature gives insight into what our grades could possibly be, as the name indicates, but it does not help us improve those grades.
What I’m trying to say here is that it’s not exactly fair for the righteous majority to call out the nonreligious population for not doing their homework. I did it, but there must have been a miscommunication, or I must have ended up in the wrong classroom.
I think about how much more time and freedom I would have with more money. Money is able to buy a lot, including happiness. It may not be directly related, but it makes a difference.
Not only is this early game another in a continuing trend, but the 11 a.m. start time has also pushed the start time of the homecoming parade up by an hour. While there is enough time between the end of the parade and the start of the game, there is still a considerable overlap when it comes to tailgate time.
I am the Ebenezer Scrooge of Baylor homecoming. Maybe my cold, non-southern heart will warm up to the idea of homecoming when I’m a senior next year and I realize it’s my last one.
To be clear, I wouldn’t trade Dia for anything. If you asked me if I’d rather go to homecoming events or take a day off, I’d take my free Tuesday any time. But I believe homecoming inspires a lot more feelings of warm fuzziness for the university than Dia does, with zero risk of sunburn and a whole lot less sweaty grossness.

It really is only a matter of time before marijuana is legalized in America anyway. According to a recent poll done by POLITICO and Morning Consult, almost two-thirds of voters supported President Biden’s pardoning of nonviolent marijuana offenders.
If I established a friendship with you in which our dynamic was supporting each other, spending time together and talking all the time — and it was completely platonic — but you get into a relationship, why is it that suddenly the dynamic has to change because you have a partner who doesn’t understand it?
