The argument could be made that since Texas’ minimum wage is $7.25 per hour — which is the same as the federal minimum wage which was set in 2009 — Baylor is paying its student employees a reasonable amount. Except we’re no longer in 2009. It’s 2025, meaning Baylor students are dealing with over a decade-long inflation rise. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 2.48% per year between 2009 and now, producing a cumulative price increase of 48.07%. This means today’s prices are 1.48 times as high as average prices since 2009, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index.
By now, almost everyone has seen the viral video of Ashton Hall’s morning routine, where the comically muscular man takes six hours to meticulously prepare for his day. Although reactions to this video have been skeptical of the efficacy of Hall’s quarter-day “life-changing” routine, the video still signals that our infatuation with self-help has gone too far.
My advice: let Bob Iger and Kevin Feige worry about how their next two-part multiversal summer blockbuster extravaganza is going to sell to focus groups. Instead, go find a movie buried in the box office chart; there’s a decent chance you might watch something you like. And if you happen to think it’s hot garbage, go give a bad review on Letterbox.
According to Major League Baseball, more than 22 million people over the age of 21 have admitted to playing “hooky” to get out of work or plans to attend an Opening Day game. After the research was released, a poll showed that 62.9% of people think making Opening Day a holiday is a good idea.
Since its invention in 1907, plastic has become one of the most widely used and cheapest materials in production. From food packaging to medical supplies, society has grown entirely dependent on the convenience of plastic. While its affordability and versatility make it appealing, plastic poses a significant problem due to its permanence.
From building off-road performance vehicles to attending national conventions with hundreds of job recruiters present, the clubs at Baylor help students perfect the areas they are studying by giving them real-world experiences.
So, even if you’re not the “sports type,” take a chance. Go to that game, wear green and gold, scream Sic ‘em and get involved. Because at Baylor, sports aren’t just after-school activities — they’re part of the rhythm of campus life. You’re only in college for four short years, and those years will pass by faster than you know it.
These reboots don’t bring the same charm. Instead, they rely on viewers’ nostalgia while struggling to stand on their own. While it’s fun to see old characters, nostalgia can only carry a show so far. Without strong writing and fresh storytelling, these reboots feel like imitations rather than meaningful continuations.
