Instead of focusing on why something is “offensive” students should focus more on the experience. Again, it’s not easy to tell jokes, and many times it’s not easy to laugh, but the goal of comedy is to be funny — not to offend.

Lent is not a second chance for the New Year’s resolutions you failed to stick to in January. Lent is not about (briefly) staying off Instagram or (briefly) depriving yourself of M&Ms or (briefly) avoiding the Whataburger drive-thru. Lent is not a secular season — stop making it one.
Without wheels, suddenly we’re stranded. We’re met with the inability to do things, like visit the store and go out to eat, without taking an Uber, ordering delivery or getting a ride from a friend.
Everyone has their preference when it comes to taking notes, but I believe we shouldn’t be restricted on the form of media we take notes on. Let’s give computers another chance in the classroom.
Around 80% of students who do internships have full-time jobs by the time they graduate. Rylander said students who have good experiences at their internship can land a full-time job either at the same company or through the skills they have gained.
Throughout the 40-day period, those who observe practice serving alms and self-discipline on multiple occasions — something other Christians could learn from partaking in as well. Lent is not a “Catholics-only” season; it is a tradition people of any denomination can learn from as well.
“As we appreciate our campus and all of the good things that come from it, we really want to instill in our students that is such an important part of society to give back,” Lynch said.
“There’s different levels to the hurt we’re all going through. Some of us are better at putting it away and hiding it than others,” Ash said. “Just be mindful of your audience. Don’t really throw words around just to seem cool or knowledgable.”
There are ways to pay teachers more, even if it means spending less in other areas. It should be everyone’s priority to ensure students are in good hands.
In high school, seniors get the first row of the bleachers in games; in professional spaces the senior level employees typically have more influence and power; even senior citizens get discounts at places like the zoo or movie theaters. When it comes to milestone Baylor traditions like Sing, seniors should also be treated special.
But alas, tickets sell out in minutes. I’m happy they do, but I truly have to contemplate if I’m able to “splurge” on the price of them. This year, they were upwards of $30 for students and the general public.
To help solve the overpopulation issues at local animal shelters, a very simple solution is to bring in and take care of a cat as one of your pets.
You chose your major for a reason. Don’t judge someone else for theirs.
Our faith is an opportunity to transcend this world and get a glimpse of the heavenly banquet that awaits us. But to make use of this opportunity, we must quiet ourselves in peaceful contemplation. We must remember that Christians have been practicing for over 2,000 years, and that many traditional hymns are rooted in this rich, longstanding history. We must abandon contemporary frivolities that disrupt sacred celebrations.
There’s a clear stigma that Baylor students are all upstanding Christians and continuously growing in their journeys with the Lord, but how many of us really see ourselves fitting into that mold?

In this part of my life, I learned that sometimes you have to pick yourself up, no one will do it for you, and work hard for whatever you want most.
The cost of textbooks should be included in the university’s tuition. Instead of making students feel as though they are paying an outside cost, they can use financial aid and scholarship money toward the costs of textbooks.
There are several downsides to the drink, including yellowed teeth, peaked anxiety and a drained bank account, but the health concerns don’t stop there. This poses the age-old question among diligent coffee consumers: to drink or not to drink?
As the new year begins, there is one thing people do that they really do not want to do: take down holiday decorations. It’s time consuming and takes away all the hard work spent putting them up. So I say we just leave them up.
One student’s bad experience is not the experience of all students, and I think that’s important to remember when reading those reviews.
It is hard to balance relaxation and work in college. It is honestly paradoxical. I have long accepted college is just plain stressful. College is a lot of work, and it is work that is really worth it. It is good preparation for the stress that comes with working a job in the real world™, and it teaches you many valuable skills.
In college, we are busy enough with classes, homework, jobs and just trying to navigate life. We do not need another requirement on top of all of that — especially one as particular as what is expected.
Exams take less time to prepare for and make more sense for a college student’s schedule. For me, exams show their superiority.
Being educated on local and global current events is a necessity, and it’s essential to be an informed citizen. Be a better news consumer for yourself.
The Bears play host to No. 19 Kansas State University Saturday night at McLane Stadium in an official fan-based ‘blackout’ game.
As a student or professor, we have an obligation to make the most of our time in the classroom. The effort must come from both sides.
The meals I prepare at home cost, on average, $4 for groceries. Another study done by Forbes showed that eating out was about five times more expensive than cooking at home.
Baylor administrators, reconsider how classes are conducted on Election Day so your students can have a voice in their future and not have to risk missing out on their education to do so.
