Amid the business and stress of Move2BU and the commencement of classes this new semester, there’s fun to be had downtown and all around. So whether you’re fresh to Baylor or returning, here are some happenings to introduce you (or reintroduce you) to the Waco scene.

I know a battle for spice, the “Lisan Al Giab,” riding giant sandworms and a weird, bald Austin Butler may not sound like a classic recipe for success in the film industry, but that combination delivered the best movie of the year in “Dune: Part Two,” and it’s only April.
As Iowa hero Caitlin Clark walked off the court for the final time in Sunday’s women’s NCAA National Championship game, a sellout crowd and a nation of people sitting on the edge of their seats from home experienced the power of a game built on empowerment.
Financial freedom and college are not usually two words that go together, and with inflation on the rise, extreme budgeting is becoming more of a trend among students. Here is a list of discounts specifically for students, ranging from food delivery apps and streaming services to clothing stores.
As we watch Sing next year, I challenge us to revisit our expectations. Ask yourself what is entertaining and what is excellent, and why you believe an act fits in either category (or both). I don’t think it’s a coincidence all six of the people’s choice awards from this year went to all-women’s acts.
X will never be perfect. Twitter never was. But for someone who is so confident in his abilities as a leader, Elon Musk has really underwhelmed in this role.
While it can be entertaining to point out flaws and have a giggle at some of the funnier moments of Sing, it’s important to try to put yourself in the shoes of a performer before you post something degrading about their act.
These artists and these musicians play such a major role in our lives, so why not go spend a night giving back to them by seeing them live, having a whole lot of fun in the process?
Stop being the Grinch of the 254. Recognize that it’s not the city’s job to give you jaw-dropping entertainment at every hour and that it’s your job to seek out activities. In the quiet moments in between, appreciate the calm pace of life. There will probably be a day when that is all you wish for.
For years, franchises in the movie and entertainment industries were considered a safe bet for producers and investors to make money. Recently, however, major cinematic universes have begun to weigh down on the industry, as many people want more creative and ambitious films instead.
The era of cheap streaming and easy convenience is all but gone. For the sake of your wallet and maybe your sanity, it’s probably best to look for new ways to watch your favorite shows — because if these past months in the entertainment industry have shown us anything, it’s that Hollywood will do whatever it takes to make a cheap buck.
If I’m somehow offending you with that statement, then — sorry, not sorry — you are likely watching movies and TV shows wrong while simultaneously detracting from the little details that make them great.
Remember, you’re the author of your own happiness. It’s no one else’s job to make your day more fun — only your own. So, if you find yourself growing to despise the humdrum of the daily grind, don’t let the negativity and boredom take over. Create a little game, task or challenge to keep yourself entertained.
Streaming has revolutionized the way we consume media, and while it is very friendly to subscribers, streaming can negatively impact creators and is creating a trend that could lead to negative outcomes.
Being a student in the department of theater arts isn’t all about costumes and roleplay. Theater students face the same dilemmas other undergraduates face such as high unemployment rates, low salaries and a lack of job security.
In this week’s podcast, Taylor Griffin and Taylor Rexrode talk Captain America, the Avengers and X-men. The latest trailer for “Gone Girl,” a film starring Ben Affleck and Neil Patrick Harris, is discussed, and more.
What makes a good All-University Sing act great?
Judges look at five main elements — entertainment value, musical quality, choreography, theme development and creativity. While most top acts have a solid combination of all five, there is often one that dominates the others — an exceptional soloist, a never-before-seen dance trick or maybe a tear-jerking theme.
It’s the day students look forward to all year: Diadeloso.
Thursday, classes are canceled and students have the opportunity to see bands, armadillos and a monkey on campus.
The debate on the correct balance between news and entertainment has been going on for decades.
A prime example of this debate can be found right here on Baylor’s overly-watered but oh so green grass: Castellaw Communications Building.
The bottom floor hosts the film and digital media department while journalism, public relations and new media stay on the top.
There is hardly any crossover.
