No matter the issue, if there’s something you feel needs to be addressed or someone you feel needs to be represented, speak up for them. Your voice matters. You’ll never regret taking a bit of initiative to create positive change.
Tenure is given as a reward to faculty that have proven excellence and loyalty to Baylor. As a policy, that’s fine, but is it currently set up to incentivize professors to stay on the cutting edge of current trends, technology, practical theories and innovation? Perhaps it’s time to reevaluate the policy and add additional reviews, incentives and requirements for all tenured faculty in order to retain their tenure status.
Yesterday will never happen again, and tomorrow is not a promise. A life full of adventure, happiness and friendship is a priceless investment you won’t regret.
The last possibility is probably the worst, and that’s not saying or doing anything. Suddenly there’s a suitcase packed with what-ifs, and that kind of regret isn’t something anybody wants. It hurts more looking back and wondering what might have been if I were to say something and risk entering my name into the transfer portal if things went south.
I think looking back on your calendar or planner to see the things you spend the most time on reveals a lot about where your priorities are. They might surprise you.
There’s no doubt that procrastination is not a fun feeling. So, if they know the anxiety and regret they cause themselves by putting things off, why do they do it?
It’s important to have such beliefs and opinions, but when you’re deconstructing a tragedy and interpreting what happened during it for political gain, you’re no longer just stating your opinion. Instead, you’re taking the tragedy, removing the tragic aspect of it — the side that calls for sympathy or understanding — and using the situation for your own gain.
At this point, food isn’t just food. The 3,000 food additives consisting of preservatives, flavorings, colors and other ingredients are slapped onto the ingredient list and ignored by the American people.
Dieting is very personal and should be done in a safe and well-researched manner. What works for one person may not work for another, and once someone realizes this, they can be in the right mindset to find what works best for them.
Think about the opportunity that lies before you: the opportunity to experience a true liberal arts education. One day, years from now, you may be rounding in a hospital or working in a lab. Taking a few classes in the humanities isn’t going to prevent you from attaining that success. If anything, it will better you both personally and professionally.
Follow the ways of the late Mike Leach and be your authentic, genuine self.
Through this light-hearted discourse, you figure out how much you actually have in common with someone even if it’s over the least important of matters. However, to really make small talk work, it begins with being real.
Getting engaged while you are an undergraduate student is different, in the sense that it’s more a promise than an actual agreement. Actually “tying the knot” is a big responsibility. If you can barely wash your dishes, cook for yourself, budget your money or do general chores, you are not ready for marriage.
Instead of putting all your eggs in one basket and hoping to meet the love of your life in college, start focusing on finding your bridesmaids and groomsmen first — people that you know will love, care for and support you every day, not just on date night.
While I have intimate knowledge of the workings of what goes into the physical appearance and aesthetics of the wedding, I have also heard many stories from almost hundreds of women, consisting of new brides and longtime wives. Here are some of my biggest takeaways and pieces of advice for anyone planning a wedding this year.
As a woman who has been trying to build her career as a journalist, I want my career and published work to follow my name from when I started. I started as Caitlyn Meisner, and I want to finish under that name. My name will follow me everywhere, and I don’t want to confuse future employers with a name change.
When all we do is see our fellow citizens as their political identities — or hopelessly attempt to categorize them when we are unsure — we are doing a disservice to ourselves and those around us. Human connection breaks down when all we want to do is hate “the other side.” Most of the time, we really don’t even know who the “other side” actually is.
Club sports create bonds that persevere through tough times and create lasting friendships.
“Our kindness reflects the heart of our Father. “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you” (Ephesians 4:32),” Witmer said.
Say what you want about the drift away from casual dating, but my grandmother and grandfather have been married for over 50 years, so there might be something to it. Next time a guy cancels on a date because he feels under the weather, just pick the next number on your contact list and enjoy a “perfectly good Friday night.”
Dealing with the sun and crowded events on Dia can be overwhelming, so here are a few tips to keep a cool head on the day of the bear.
Instead of focusing on why something is “offensive” students should focus more on the experience. Again, it’s not easy to tell jokes, and many times it’s not easy to laugh, but the goal of comedy is to be funny — not to offend.
Start your to-do list with tasks that have less pressing deadlines and break those down into smaller parts. Then, move on to what needs to be done in timely fashion. This will make it easier overall to stay organized and break down those larger daunting tasks.
The city of Waco must improve the roadways within the Baylor bubble as it affects both Waco citizens and Baylor students.
Lent is not a second chance for the New Year’s resolutions you failed to stick to in January. Lent is not about (briefly) staying off Instagram or (briefly) depriving yourself of M&Ms or (briefly) avoiding the Whataburger drive-thru. Lent is not a secular season — stop making it one.
Without wheels, suddenly we’re stranded. We’re met with the inability to do things, like visit the store and go out to eat, without taking an Uber, ordering delivery or getting a ride from a friend.
I understand you’re probably tired at 8 a.m. and would rather scroll on Instagram than talk to the person next to you, but the effort is so worth it.
Everyone has their preference when it comes to taking notes, but I believe we shouldn’t be restricted on the form of media we take notes on. Let’s give computers another chance in the classroom.
Besides the fact Baylor’s campus is incredibly beautiful and offers plenty of outdoor study spaces, spending time outside holds many benefits to your well-being.
