Intramurals are a great way to get involved in the Baylor community, meet new people and find friends. However, intramurals are separated by gender, and only a few coed sports are offered each semester: Spikeball, whiffle ball, sand volleyball and kickball.
The answer is very clear. Judgment and mean comments directed toward other women just “aren’t giving” — so to speak. Please give the “pick-me” label a rest.
I am a girl’s girl — and not because of the statistics I’m about to show you. My friend groups have always consisted of mainly women, and my best friends are smart, strong, beautiful women. I’m proud of that.
As someone who studies and writes about politics, I’m in the trenches when it comes to policy issues and the happenings within the government. If anyone is going to be angry, it’ll likely be me.
The senior class has had its fair share of obstacles, but senioritis is a constant epidemic.
Define your goal and find out which exercises work best for your body and your goals. Fitness is such an important aspect of your life, and it is equally important that you enjoy the time you spend working out.
The holiday season is approaching and so are finals, but students shouldn’t let the stress from their classes carry over into their celebration of the holidays.
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.
Unlike any of the other forms of media listed above, podcasts have a way of efficiently providing educational information because of the amount of content that can be produced and the ability to multitask while listening to it.
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.
