Spring break is officially over and it’s time for students to get back to the reality of business as usual: homework, papers, projects and exams, while also making a point to enjoy what time we have left at Baylor this year.
Most students complain. We complain about homework. We complain about lacking sleep. We complain about early classes. Heck, we even complain about afternoon classes.
It takes a lot to sway me away from writing about sports. Unfortunately, it has happened.
March Madness. Get your pencils ready to fill out a bracket, or 17, read up Sports Illustrated and watch countless hours of Sportscenter to have a better chance of winning the pool … of Oreos … that you aren’t betting on.
There comes a point in every teenager’s life when everything, simply put, sucks. School, friends, parents and everything else seems to have a deliberate and vicious agenda against your happiness. Problems – emotional, physical and intellectual – abound as we try to figure out who we are.
I recently got a text from my mom, a police officer in my hometown, about a man I know who got arrested again. She said it was disappointing because he has had everything handed to him, but he keeps messing up.
I don’t know what’s harder to believe- the fact that Quincy Acy, Anthony Jones and Fred Ellis will never play another game for Baylor at the Ferrell Center, or the fact that I will never watch another men’s basketball game there as a student.
Society has been looking to the less-than-talented Drake for words of wisdom lately. Drake’s song “The Motto” was released on Nov. 15. In it, Drake claims the phrase, “you only live once,” commonly abbreviated as “YOLO.”
Paula Deen announced in January she has Type 2 Diabetes, in which the body cannot process insulin. Her efforts to curb her deep-fried, high-in-all-the-bad-stuff cooking brings to the table again a popular topic in America — obesity.
On “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” Monday night, Jon Stewart jokingly suggested that Neil deGrasse Tyson, a prominent astrophysicist, should run for president of the United States. While Stewart was largely joking and Tyson is unlikely to actually run, let me ask this question: why not?
My great worry is my generation is not vigilant enough. By that I mean we haven’t given enough thought to ideas that potentially threaten our ways of life, and thus we leave the door open to political exploitation.
Socrates once said, “The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be.”
This past weekend, I had the pleasure of attending a 21st birthday family dinner with my best friend Mollimichelle.
Starbucks is being shot down — by a group of people who oppose guns. The National Gun Victims Action Council has begun a boycott of the coffee chain in an effort to convince Starbucks to adopt an anti-gun policy for all of its shops.
Last week my tiny car was less than pleasant to look at. It was consistently grabbing attention but for all the wrong reasons. I hated that with a passion.
I recently read Caroline Brewton’s Feb. 15 column, “Personality and Qualifications? Check. Ring? Um…” in the Lariat in which she expressed her belief that her unmarried state is some kind of personal failure.
It seems like we spend our whole life preparing for what’s next.
I was the kid who cried after chemistry class. Sure, I could read, rite and rithmetic and even wield a paintbrush, but throw me in a lab with shiny glass beakers and a worksheet decorated with complex formulas, and I was a goner. All hope evaporated.
British invasion. Adele is obviously the No. 1 Brit in most Americans’ hearts. But move over, Adele, there’s a new Brit in town.

Sing is one of my favorite things to do with my sorority, Delta Delta Delta, and this year we were lucky enough to partner with Alpha Tao Omega fraternity. Being able to work with such a great group of guys and incorporate both performing styles is something I will remember forever.

I have been patient long enough with Baylor fans. I have even gone so far as to defend them.
Justin Bieber is someone I will rarely take the opportunity to praise — mainly because I have an extremely large crush on Selena Gomez and so I’m more than a bit jealous of him — but his consistent charity work is something that shows a maturity beyond his actual age.
Finding a soulmate is hard. I am young, decently attractive with an impressive list of qualifications, and yet I’m staring tragedy in the face. I am a generic unmarried girl, age 18-48, and yet another Valentine’s Day has just passed me by.
