8 Things Baylor Students Want for Christmas

When you're asked what you want for Christmas as a college student, you begin to think more practically and rationally, so you ask for things such as gift cards, money, clothes, shoes, plane tickets, and a bunch of other things you wouldn't really ask for when you were younger.

This year, I will admit, I am asking for some of those previously mentioned gifts, but is that what we truly want as Baylor students? This year's you should really be asking for these gifts.

1.To win the Russell Athletic Bowl.

Let’s face it, Baylor doesn’t have the greatest of records when it comes to bowl games, but this year we got this! Nothing will make us happier than to see Briles and his team cream the North Carolina Tarheels. Plus, what better place for a bowl game than Orlando!

2. More sections of classes.

Registration can be a nightmare for any college student. You must take a specific class this semester, but you are stuck being 11th on the waitlist for EVERY class. And forget it if it is a business or science course since half the university is in one of those majors. Please Baylor, help us out.

3. Baylor parking to be nicer.

Baylor Parking-- we respect that it is your job to give tickets out, but cut us some slack. Sorry that there are only 20 parking spots at the library and that I backed into the stall in order to avoid killing a stampede of people walking when classes let out. And no, I'm not paying the ticket.

4. No more sprinklers.

It’s raining, sprinklers still going. You need to walk on that sidewalk, how but we use sprinklers. It’s December, sprinklers still going. Seriously though Baylor. We love that our campus is beautiful, but last I checked sidewalks can’t grow by being watered and not having the grass being turned into giant mud puddles would be a nice.

5. No construction.

Finally Fountain Mall is complete and the new business school opened this fall, but you know Baylor was not calling it quits on construction. The school should really start advertising itself as "Baylor University, under construction since 1845."

6. Passing Grades

It's a cliche want, yet the most important. It would be nice to just sleep through finals and magically wake up with straight As -- a person can dream right?

7. Wifi that works.

Nothing ruins my day more than when I'm trying to do my homework (AKA watch Netflix) and AirBear cuts out and ruins my progress.

8. To redo that game against TCU.

That game was just rough, let's redo that.


Sic’em Christmas!

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
