Real-world experience brings purpose and meaning to why we go to class every day. I believe colleges should adopt a more holistic view of education and encourage learning outside the confines of a classroom. Education should be less about simply learning material for a test and more about applying that material in a real-life setting.

The 94th Academy Awards will appeal to a larger audience than ever, allowing fans to vote on the best movie of the year through social media.
Was waking up and going to class prepared every day really this challenging before the pandemic? Or did we just get lazier? I don’t think students are the problem; the problem is all the extra weight that snuck in during the pandemic that wasn’t possible before.
“Where are you from?” people ask me, and a third of them ask me, “Can you make sushi and ramen?” I was surprised when I first came to Baylor because I had never been asked this question in Japan.

You’ve heard every version of “your differences make you unique” growing up, but the best part of college life is embracing that statement.
As of December 2021, the PlayStation 5 was outselling the Xbox Series X/S in sales. However, I think 2022 and 2023 will be the years that people will look back to when Xbox took the gaming crown from PlayStation.
Even if addiction has not wounded you or a loved one, that should not stop you from educating yourself on the realities. Before you say it, no — “Euphoria” should not be your only source of education on addiction.
The true meaning of a friend is starting to lose its significance. Nowadays, people seem to be using the term too loosely.
When I was a kid, Valentine’s Day was fun. We used to give out candy to our friends or write nice notes and pass them out in class. But as I got older, I grew to loathe the famous “love day.”
Find someone cuter to buy you flowers.
Coming to college at Baylor means it’s essentially the first time in some students’ lives to be on their own. Moving into the dorms on campus has great benefits but of course comes with some restrictions. For example, Baylor allows pepper spray on campus but does not allow it in residence halls.
Over decades, technology has changed in multiple ways, and the next new thing is always right around the corner. Connecting technology with the human brain and intellect used to be science fiction, but could it be reality?
Students are never taught how to express themselves in school, and they are instead assigned extensive amounts of busy work that will never help them truly grow, communicate, develop interpersonal relationships, analyze situations or problem solve on a personal level.
Scrolling on YikYak seems to be addictive. The constant chatter of what is circulating on our campus makes it hard to put your phone down. But what good is this app really doing?
American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow once said, “music is the universal language of mankind,” and K-pop is a prime example.
Time as an adult is like water in a desert. If it’s found, it must be planned around and rationed out accordingly. If you’re not careful, the allure of its thirst-quenching nature can lead to taking it all in one gulp.
Monday. Judgment day. The day of days. Everyone despises the first day of the week, the day that rips our relaxing weekend away and brings us back to reality with a cold, hard and unforgiving slap. Yeah, Monday sucks. Everyone knows this, and just about everyone agrees. But what I feel everyone is overlooking is just how bad Sunday is.
A predominantly rap-heavy lineup, this year’s halftime show won’t be a meme; it will be legendary.
Baylor has grown tremendously in the last several years, and with the recent NCAA championship, Baylor has received a lot more attention. However, to some, the new Paul and Alejandra Foster Pavilion might not be the best way to show off that newfound love.
What distinguishes this path from today’s misguided ones is that it presents modesty as an opportunity to honor and cherish ourselves, not as a chore that must be done to prevent others from looking at us in an impure way, but above all, modesty is about empowerment and self-worth.
Staying together for the kids isn’t really better for the kids.
As a Latina, moving to a new country for college has expanded my panorama of diversity and has allowed me to reach the conclusion that race representation matters both in the media and in real life.
No matter how much we ignore it, these things happened, and racism is very much alive in America. Recognizing their impact and how we can do better is essential to efforts for equality. If we ever want to move forward, we have to look backward first.
Although that’s exactly what a thrift store was intended to be — a place where people in need can buy clothing — viewing places like Goodwill and Salvation Army as a fun weekend is a privilege.
Technology has done a lot for the world. It’s advanced weaponry, medicine, communication and so much more that we use every day all around the world. As much good as tech brings, it brings an equal amount of bad.
The average consumer can’t justify paying that much for a dress even once, let alone shopping there every time they need new clothes. So, the problem of sustainability isn’t that people are apathetic and want to kill the Earth; it’s that it is fundamentally inaccessible.
All it takes is the right attitude. Is every day going to be the best day? No, but life is a lot more enjoyable when you appreciate the best out of every day.
I know it’s been a while since you’ve been close with them, but that doesn’t mean your old friends are gone.
I am not here to say that cell-salts, peppermint oil and yoga are the cure for cancer, but I am saying that, very often, the answers to everyday pains are not found in an Advil bottle.
