There were 2,892 science majors in 2011 according to Baylor Institutional Research and Testing.

That’s about a fourth of Baylor’s 2011 total undergraduate enrollment of 12,754. That number does not include graduate students and faculty members with offices in the Baylor Sciences Building who might spend more time there than undergraduate students with classes there. That number also doesn’t include students from other majors that take classes in the BSB.

In a controversial Newsweek editorial in 2009, Jon Meacham predicted the “End of Christian America.” Citing a 10 percentage point drop in the number of self-identified Christians, Meacham applied the term “post-Christian” to an American society in which Christianity is continuing to lose influence.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited for East Village to open up in the fall.

Although I’m not going to be living there, I think East Village great for science students who live on campus because it will allow them to stay in relatively nice on-campus housing that’s close to the BSB, were they will be spending most of their time.

Brittney Griner might go down as the best women’s basketball player of all time.

Her incredible combination of size and skill have made her the most recognizable face in women’s college basketball. This will soon be the case when she enters the WNBA Draft. She will probably be the WNBA’s Michael Jordan. Or, rather, its Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

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.

I grew up in Texas, and I love things like BBQ, fried foods and every other sort of southern charm. I said words like “y’all” and “fixin to,” and embraced everything about the South. I love pick-up trucks and sodas, especially Dr Pepper.
