What Makes Baylor Better

Baylor has the academics that make it a great university and the athletics that give students the “true college experience." But what makes Baylor great?

1. Baylor is friendly

Baylor does community well and its students benefit from it. The campus is a place full of friendly faces, where you're always running into someone you know, but at the same time always meeting someone new.

2. Baylor is beautiful

From Pat Neff Hall's golden roof to McLane Stadium built on the Brazos River, why wouldn't you want to take the scenic route with a campus so picturesque?

3. Baylor will surprise you

I mean, who else keeps two live bears on campus?

4. Baylor has an impact

Not only is Baylor's legacy expanded as it sends alumni out around the world, but Baylor makes an impact right where it is. As Baylor has grown, Waco has grown. Student organizations serve the community through philanthropy. Additionally, the success of football and the creation of Baylor graduates' Chip and Joanna Gaines' Magnolia Silos has brought new businesses and infrastructure to the area.

5. Baylor appreciates traditions

Baylor brags about being a university before Texas became a state. With roots that deep come traditions as well. One of the favorites is the running of the Baylor Line before each home football game, in which every student becomes not only a part of Baylor Tradition, but also the Baylor Legacy.

6. Baylor is dedicated to its beliefs

Remaining dedicated to its Christian roots instead of parting with them, Baylor promotes and stands firm in what it believes. This leads to a caring environment among students, but which also extends to the classroom.

7. Baylor is loved

Sic 'em forever!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
