What To Expect When You're Expecting (Dia del Oso)

If you're a Baylor student, you have probably had some experience with the highly anticipated Dia. For one day a year during the spring semester, classes are cancelled and all the bears gear up for a good time. However, for freshman like myself, we've heard all about this beloved event but do we truly know what we're about to get into? I decided to ask some upperclassmen for their take on past Days of the Bear and if they had any advice for us newbies. From what they said...get ready fellow fishies because this is gonna be one for the books.

"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take...drink the punch."

"Get hammered, sober up, eat, nap, repeat."

"If you're going off campus, be safe about everything. Make sure you have a trustworthy DD that's going to look out for you. Have fun and enjoy your day off but don't get too crazy.."

"WEAR SUNSCREEN."

"Don't lose your friends."

"The Dia we knew will never be the Dia you will know. A couple years ago it would've blown your mind."

"See you on 10th!"

"Don't choose Dia to be your first drinking experience. You will get sick and it WILL ruin the rest of your day."

"Just dance. A lot."

"Have fun, stay safe."

"There's a lot of cops out so be smart."

"Don't pria too hard so you can't dia."

"Make sure your friends can track where you are. Buddy system is key. Don't be embarrassed to write 'if found please call *your best friend's number*' because it will come in handy and you will be so thankful."

There ya have it friends. Best of luck and happy Dia!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
