With Memorial and Alexander Halls undergoing construction this year and Allen and Dawson Halls being slated for next, a renovation of Kokernot is still in the distance. After living in Kokernot my freshman year, I can safely say the residence hall needs major updates.
So, was it unbearably hot? Absolutely. Did I wait for three hours? You bet. Was it worth it? Without a doubt. The Baylor Line is not just about running to hype up the football team; it’s about camaraderie, tradition and the unforgettable memories and friends you make along the way.

I now know by heart how to make the best macaroni and cheese. To make the best dish, you must genuinely love the people you’re preparing it for.
