A group of Baylor students in an advertising campaign class decided to partner up with AC Hotel by Marriott in downtown Waco to provide an opportunity for student organizations to receive funds while helping a local business. The result is the AC Hotel grant.
Some students believe that “yo-yo” sleeping, which is getting little sleep during the week and catching up on weekends, will balance things out. But Scullin’s research shows that inconsistent sleep patterns can throw off the body’s internal clock, which affects both academic performance and long-term health. His studies found that students who stick to regular sleep schedules perform better during finals.

ARTS & LIFE
It’s staycation weekend, which means it’s time to take a rest from two weeks of labor and scout out the Waco scene. Here are some activities to get you out, about and away from that assignment you’ve been stuck on.
Coming to college at Baylor means it’s essentially the first time in some students’ lives to be on their own. Moving into the dorms on campus has great benefits but of course comes with some restrictions. For example, Baylor allows pepper spray on campus but does not allow it in residence halls.
Over decades, technology has changed in multiple ways, and the next new thing is always right around the corner. Connecting technology with the human brain and intellect used to be science fiction, but could it be reality?
Students are never taught how to express themselves in school, and they are instead assigned extensive amounts of busy work that will never help them truly grow, communicate, develop interpersonal relationships, analyze situations or problem solve on a personal level.
Scrolling on YikYak seems to be addictive. The constant chatter of what is circulating on our campus makes it hard to put your phone down. But what good is this app really doing?
American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow once said, “music is the universal language of mankind,” and K-pop is a prime example.
Eating in college is hard. Good food isn’t cheap to buy, and it isn’t quick to cook. If there are two things that most college students don’t have much of, it’s time and money.
