I’m going to be honest with you: I’m not a morning person.
Whenever I wake up before 10 a.m. or so, I’m groggy, incoherent and generally unhappy to be awake. This semester, the need to fulfill my degree requirements has forced me to enroll in an 8 a.m. class every day of the week. It’s a language class, too, which means I have to be on my toes — I’m not naturally gifted where language is concerned and need to study hard, participate and pay attention in order to do well.
Texans are proud of their state, and they should be. People are proud to live in this state because Texas has immense history and astounding tradition.

Since the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary, people across the country have been shaken. Federal and state governments have tried to find an answer through gun laws and legislation.
You get accepted to Baylor.
You move in during Welcome Week.
You’re away from home for the first time, alone in a new environment without your parents and no idea what do to about your laundry. Who do you call?
Your Community Leader, (CL) is there to welcome you and provide guidance.
When five people were accidentally shot at gun shows last week, proponents of gun control legislation clamored to push the story as another reason to support their policies. However, when we take such generalizations at face value, we do the facts an injustice.
A former administrator and three students from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill recently filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education, claiming the university has been mishandling sexual assault cases. This lawsuit represents a common problem on college campuses: administrators failing to punish those who commit sexual assault.
