Central Texas is in a drought, but when walking on Baylor’s campus, no one would know.
Campus is slowly turning into a swampland, lacking only the gators and Cajun food.
The squish of nearly every grassy patch on campus indicates the healthy dose of water that was administered overnight by way of sprinklers.
While Baylor’s campus has lush green grass, it’s coming at a price.
Students have to balance a variety of schoolwork, jobs, as well as several extracurricular activities in any given week. As a result, many students have very little time to do anything other than their to-do lists, such as sleep or spend any time with their friends and maintain relationships.
To add to students’ already busy and unpredictable schedules, professors have been scheduling several out-of-class activities that students are unaware of when signing up for the class.
The U.S. government has shut down, yet the country largely continues to run as usual. The world didn’t end and the economy did not come to a crashing halt.
Americans need to realize that there is only one party that deserves the lion’s share of the blame for the shutdown: the Democrats.
This shutdown has been years in the making. Until March 23 of this year, the Democrat-controlled Senate failed to even vote on a budget for more than four years, and they have yet to send a budget to the White House as of this writing. That is gross negligence to do the job to which they were elected.
Quite often, I hear girls complain about not having a boyfriend and feeling lonely. Loneliness sucks, I get that. Whenever I feel lonely, I usually find solace in a pint of vegan ice cream, so I completely empathize with the desire for companionship. What I don’t understand is why the void created by loneliness has to be filled by a male presence. I would like to suggest an alternative solution to the problem: get a dog.
Long gone are the days of speaking with an actual human when the Internet service is down or the latest technology gets a glitch.
In most cases, a mere phone call to a company’s tech support results in countless automated menu options offered by a recorded voice.
It seems as though technology companies want more than just an arm’s length from their patrons. However, Amazon’s new Kindle Fire just might make that customer connection again.
Baylor students risk their lives for the sake of higher education. Not every student lives on the edge of danger, but there is a high percentage of students who look death in the eye on a daily basis.
I’m talking about the average student pedestrian on campus. I find it miraculous that the pedestrian mortality rate is as low as it is. Walking from class to class becomes an epic form of the arcade game “Frogger.”
Allegations of NCAA rules violations rocked the world of college football several times during the 2013 football season, and we are only in week six.
Before the season even began, ESPN Outside The Lines reported Johnny Manziel was under investigation by the NCAA for accepting money for signing hundreds of autographs. He is accused of receiving a five-figure flat fee while in Miami for the Discover BCS National Championship in January.
It’s the last thing most Americans care about. But still, a group of the faithful made the trek to St. Louis this weekend for a regional version of the Conservative Political Action Conference.
Compared to the three-day CPAC conference in Washington last March, the St. Louis event was notably more low-key.
