Podcasts are meant to have concrete, meaningful purposes, and just because making a podcast is easy doesn’t mean everyone should sit down to record one. If you feel like you have unique experiences or an eccentric interest to share with the world — and if you are willing to put in significant time, effort and planning — go for it. If you don’t, though, join me in the audience and learn to be content with sitting back and watching the success of others.

However, when a group project is set up correctly and you aren’t paired with the worst classmates ever, group work can be amazing. And honestly, I believe group projects are far superior to individual work.
If you’re in the Baylor bubble, you know Diadeloso is the best holiday of the year. That is, unless you’re stuck inside Moody Memorial Library trying to catch up from the last nine weeks, your professor still assigned homework, or even worse, you have an exam the day after. That is not what Diadeloso is about. Where did we go wrong?
After the student body’s historic vote last week to restructure the Senate, I no longer have to wonder. But we still need one last piece to bring it all together: you.
As registration for the upcoming fall semester rolls around, be aware of the tempting idea to take fewer classes — it’s not all that it seems.
As students at a Christian university, and people of moral character, we must be aware of what is happening around the world.
When I hear my peers talking about the traits they have, positive or negative, I often hear them say something along the lines of, “It’s just how I am. I’m a Leo. I can’t change my nature.” I have to laugh — humans aren’t scorpions in a Navajo fable. Everyone can change their nature.
What’s better than one dog? Two — for you and your furry friend.
Moody Memorial Library is a place full of constant buzz, whether it’s people drinking caffeine or just people catching up. However, with all the busyness, Moody should really think about adding more food options.
There is a common fallacy that is used regularly stating there is no such thing as bad artwork; I respectfully and wholeheartedly disagree. To those who believe there is no such thing as “good” or “bad” art, respectfully, you’re a fool.
In the midst of the chaos of college, studying and day-to-day life, it’s crucial to spend time without your phone to benefit your mental health. Taking a personal break from all socials and phone use means going off the grid — something that should be seen in a more positive light.
BIC is also made up of people from all different majors, backgrounds and ethnicities. I’ve learned so much about what other people’s experiences are like simply due to how they identify. This diversity isn’t common at Baylor, but in the BIC, it’s celebrated and more common than in the average classroom.
The argument that one version of anime is better than the other is a hill on which many people are willing to die. If you are one of those people, I suggest that you find another hill because you’re wasting your time.
I believe that knowledge, skills and virtues can still be obtained without required courses. Obviously, I know that Baylor or other universities would never discontinue requiring general education courses, but the system should be altered for a student’s interests, not the university’s pocket.
Last weekend, I saw “The Batman.” There were many things I liked and a few things that I didn’t, but overall, I thought it was a very solid film. It was refreshing and unlike many superhero movies I have seen recently. It was a beautifully shot, thrilling, story-focused film that did justice to its source material. Best of all, it wasn’t a part of an already-established cinematic universe and wasn’t preoccupied with trying to set up future films.
I have zero doubt that there are more wheels in the world, and I believe that talking about how there are more wheels than doors is bringing more people together than if this debate had never come up.
There is art in words. Making someone so sad that they lie in bed for days, not wanting to do anything but go back to when their favorite character was happy, requires skill.
Baylor’s Chapel Online format provides little room for spiritual growth and community among students.
Being able to take an unpaid internship is a privilege that many young adults do not have. Not being supported financially by parents leaves many entry-level workers choosing between experience and providing for themselves.
Happiness is built on habits, and before you can find joy in exercise, you have to have the dedication to push through the initial phase of low motivation, poor stamina, sore legs and general exhaustion.
Fish are fun, so imagine them in your dorm room in your first year on campus.
Humor is a powerful tool. It allows people in challenging times to cope with difficult circumstances, but it can also be used to degrade and diminish. After the Feb. 22 Russian invasion of Ukraine, social media was at once hit with memes centered around the possibility of World War III, the military draft, Russians and Ukrainians and other related scenarios. In response, many people have fired back at the creators of these memes with a question: Is this not in poor taste?
As prices increase, is it worth keeping Netflix as a streaming service?
I sincerely hope that for everyone going back home, this break is actually a break and not an overwhelming load of emotions and situations you hopefully didn’t have to go through this semester.
In case you weren’t aware, there seem to be a million things happening all at once all over the world. Some call it a dumpster fire; others say it’s a normal day in the newsroom.
Don’t let this semester be filled with the non-essential.
COVID-19 changed me more than I would like to admit; here’s how.
College is a time in people’s lives when they’re exposed to new ideas for the first time through meeting people from all across the world or those from different economic or racial backgrounds. It’s important that engaging in different ideas and opinions is encouraged — and especially that it’s easy and accessible to do so. All students deserve to feel seen and represented on their campus and not like exceptions or alienated because they don’t align with others’ opinions.
Tupac Shakur faked his death, and there are so many things surrounding his death that do not make sense and point to something deeper.
How come an engineering major is unable to take a required course for engineering because there aren’t any openings in the class? Students attend this university to study something they are passionate about and something they will turn into a career, but they are inhibited because a classroom is too small.
