I remember being hesitant to put stickers on my laptop, because I wasn’t sure if people would make fun of me. What if the wrong group of people saw my stickers and gave me a hard time? Eventually, I got past the initial anxiety and went for it.

There is a book genre for everyone that has the capability of turning reading into something enjoyable.

I’m 20 years old. The government doesn’t allow someone my age to buy a bottle of wine from Target, but for some reason, I’m supposed to have the rest of my life wrapped up neatly in a 30-second elevator pitch.

Although easy to forget, Baylor athletics stayed busy over the Labor Day weekend, and we’ve got the lowdown in case you missed it.

As students, we often forget that we are in school for a multitude of reasons, and finding a partner to spend the rest of our lives with doesn’t have to be one of them.

Whether you do or don’t fit the picture of a “typical Baylor Bear,” you’re not alone. Letting go of the misguided assumptions you hold will not only give you a more accurate outlook of your home here in Waco but will also serve as a healthy first step to being content with yourself.

For the freshmen who are now arriving at school, the freshman 15 is not a joke. People wonder how it’s possible to gain weight when there is an adequate amount of walking incorporated into our daily schedules, but it all stems from the food.

The freshman 15 holds a lot of weight — the phrase, that is. As college students and incoming freshmen, we are familiar with how commonly a change in appearance and body type is discussed.

Baylor’s work toward diversity and inclusion within faculty, staff and students has changed throughout the years.

A beast that rears its ugly head at the sight of a deadline. The little voice in our heads that says there’s plenty of time later. The urge to choose an all nighter to write a paper instead of finish it in over a full semester.

After being challenged in Chapel to “change the world in a day,” Baylor students raised more than $24,000 for charity, Baylor announced this Monday.

City Year, a service organization which stretches from Los Angeles to Miami, undertakes a daunting task.
They serve nearly 250 of the nation’s highest need primary and secondary schools. City Year’s goal is to keep kids in school and helping them succeed in and beyond the classroom.

IPads have become very popular for taking notes during lectures. I use my iPad in the majority of my classes, especially in the ones that don’t involve computers. I could probably get away with carrying only my iPad to class, and I have no doubt that’s probably the case for the majority of other iPad and tablet users.

Being absent from your chores back home is no excuse to be absent from voting in the 2012 presidential election.

Only 126,227,704 seconds to figure out exactly what we want to do and get the education so other people will let us do what we want to do.
