COVID-19 happened, and no amount of denial can erase its devastation. Please don’t forget. Please don’t move on. There is so much for us to take away from the past two years, and the first step in that learning process is intentional remembrance.

If you are looking for a fun, interesting and fairly easy elective or general class, take Introduction to Sociology 1305.
While the decision regarding Roe is not final and the opinions of the court may change before a final ruling, overturning Roe and Casey sets a dangerous precedent for the future of America.
A final exam at Baylor is advertised as an examination that “closes the work of a particular course.” These exams, being the culmination of all that students have learned throughout a semester, usually take up a sizable portion of final semester grades. But should any one assignment be weighted so heavily?
Those who believe in the sanctity of human life must be prepared to step up and lead from the front, providing for mothers in need and pushing to ban abortion in every state. The pro-life movement will continue regardless of how the court rules, but it is now the duty of every citizen to pray and support this majority opinion of the Supreme Court. Regardless of the left’s desperate attempts to cudgel systems into submission through unprecedented exposure and public pressure, it is time to stand firm.
You shouldn’t be forced to listen to everyone, but you also can’t preach free speech while fine-tuning what you see to fit your agenda.
College is what you make of it, so make it fun.
Welcome to Bear’s Declassified: School Survival Guide! I think Ned would be proud to see us all grown up and tackling life in college on our own. After all, he prepared us well, didn’t he?
“Writing is medicine. It is an appropriate antidote for injury. It is an appropriate companion for any difficult change,” Julia Cameron, American author and teacher, said.
Serving others has a positive impact not only on those whom you serve but also on your own life.
Most of the parking garages are close to dorms and are really only accessible to freshmen. Especially this year, most upperclassmen could only get parking passes that aren’t near any of their classes, since freshmen had priority when choosing over the summer.
This is due to one simple fact: I was a transfer student, not a traditional freshman. But coming from Germany and having past experiences only from online courses still made me feel like a freshman.
BeReal is all the rage as it attempts to shatter the perception that social media has to be perfect, but some users still refuse to be real on the app.
PRISM’s chartering has been a long time coming, whether you like it or not. Despite mixed reactions, Baylor students and staff should open themselves up to new opportunities, even if those opportunities aren’t for them specifically.
The Tutoring Center provides many resources for a student who is seeking help. However, the length of one-on-one sessions should be extended to an hour instead of 30 minutes. Students have a hard time grasping concepts in a short period of time.
There’s a lot of rhetoric surrounding the entire topic of abortion in general. At what point does a fetus become a baby? If abortion is murder, at what point should it be banned, if at all? And there are more philosophical questions that aren’t really relevant when it comes to the discussion of who abortion actually affects. I believe there is only one person to whom abortion should matter: the woman who gets one.
Think about it: When you vote for a candidate, do you vote for someone who you believe is totally qualified and whose policies you 100% agree with? Or do you vote for your friend, the friend of a friend, a fraternity or sorority sibling or, just in general, someone on campus who is well liked or well known?
I spent most of my life thinking Texas had nothing more to it than reverence for the American flag and my greatest enemy, country music. My opinion remained unchanged until I arrived at Baylor and realized that I was predestined to live in Texas, the state I now deem as the most hilariously unique place in the United States.
Imagine walking around campus for the past couple of hours; you’re a prospective student deciding where to spend the next four years of your life. Your amazing and fun tour guide has been raving about the on-campus coffee shop you have got to try. You go to try the hyped-up cup of delicious iced coffee only to be left with a sickly sweet cup of bitterness — that was my introduction to Common Grounds.
Implementing recycling programs into Waco apartment complexes is an important step toward making the upcoming generation pay more attention to the environment. It’s the little things that make the largest difference.
If I had a nickel for every time a seemingly grown, educated man made a weird comment or had a strange excitement or stereotype about me being Latina, Filipina or whichever random race of the week he was trying to guess I was, I’d have a lot of nickels. If I combined those profits with my friends experiences, we’d probably be millionaires.
At a university that identifies itself as Christian, social media posts about Christianity are often akin to performative activism posts. Sharing stories or posts to prove that you are a good Christian is, in fact, decidedly unchristian and only adds to certain stereotypes.
What is supposed to be a huge music festival with big-name artists has evolved to be an expensive and miserable fashion show for celebrities and influencers.
It is absurd that the president is the one who picks the U.S. Supreme Court justices. The problem with the nomination process of the Supreme Court is this: It should not be politicized.
Figuring out what to do for the rest of your life while in college isn’t much different than asking a 12-year-old what they’ll want for Christmas when they turn 17.
No matter a university’s religious affiliation, all students should have access to health services and education regarding their body’s safety. There are ways to combat the lack of reproductive education young adults receive before their college years.
I believe there are many aspects of a city that Waco is missing that could help students navigate college life and young adulthood easier, more efficiently and healthier.
My grandpa used to repeat this quote to emphasize the importance of good impressions: “Look your best, do your best, be your best.” It’s simple, but it seems to be the key to a good first impression.
When you love someone, you know it at that moment. Stop spending time thinking about your future and start living it with the person you want to spend the rest of your life with.
While I do not judge and only share happiness for those who choose to pursue relationships or marriages more early on in their lives, to me it seems counterproductive to add yet another factor of attention to an already busy and stressful college world.
