Waco Police Department says choosing a safe Halloween costume is another vital consideration. Costumes should allow for easy movement, and masks or wigs that could impair vision should be avoided. Additionally, it’s wise to steer clear of fake weapons or items that might resemble real weapons, as these can create misunderstandings and cause alarm among others.

“We want the organizations in the school to know that we’re a resource for them and that they can come talk to us,” Prescott said. “HSO is here to serve the business school. We’re not just like any other organization you can join. We have a purpose of serving the people that are around us.”

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.

Picture this: You’re in a Zoom meeting with an adviser trying to figure out what to study in college, suddenly realizing that this one small and seemingly insignificant decision might make or break the next 50 years of your life. Wait — that’s actually how it felt, wasn’t it? Being forced to choose your major before having 20 years of life experience under your belt is scary, but it doesn’t have to be the end all, be all.

Ensuring that the next generation of teens prioritizes their safety and has a healthy relationship with alcohol can only be done if proactive measures are taken now. Alcohol is such an integral part of American culture, meaning telling teens not to experiment with it until they are 21 is the same as taunting the forbidden fruit.

As college students, finding time to volunteer or pinpointing meaningful ways to give back to the community can sometimes be a challenge. However, if your heart feels called to serve, there are plenty of great organizations across Waco where you can be a positive influence. One such organization is STARS Book Clubs, where you can make an impact for many years to come.

There used to be a time when, regardless of whether a student had COVID-19 or not, they did not have to go to classes if they felt sick. And why should they? It’s not fair to the student or their fellow classmates and professors. During the pandemic, all parties understood the importance of taking sick days. Now, however, the attendance policy is back in place.

Maybe you enjoy something obscure, or perhaps your taste is very mainstream, but I think it’s safe to say that everyone has experienced judgment for their interests. You might think some tastes are so egregious they deserve to be judged (I’m talking to the canned tuna lovers here), but judging others for things that make them happy doesn’t promote healthy relationships among friends.
