You Know It's Baylor Homecoming When… (with GIFS, of course)

1. Just as opening shows are nearing, Pigskin practice includes all the more pressure, time commitment, and heavily applied costume makeup. 

2. The building excitement of wearing that perfectly planned game day outfit is getting all the more exciting. Baylor sics Kansas while you sic that new pair of Kendras, you go girl.

3. Just as HC rolls around right after midterms, your routine still includes post-exam coffee and stress eating Halloween candy (whatever, calories don't count then anyways).

4. Homecoming weekend entails more sic 'ems in three days than in the past year.

5. Babies and dogs decked out in Baylor gear. Everywhere. Sic 'em green & gold leashes.

6. Babies. And dogs. Everywhere.

7. Which means plenty of alumni events with free food.

8. Baylor's homecoming bonfire being one of the most bittersweet events of the year. The bonfire means Baylor autumn is officially here, while you sweat out that green & gold pride (literally) with how packed everyone is going to be so close to the fire. Who said school spirit wasn't messy?

9. Homecoming Parade being somewhat of Waco's equivalent to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It may be an early morning, but you can never go wrong with hot cocoa and a few girlfriends.

10. That one homecoming roller coaster, need I say more? #StargazerProblems

11. And now this year, Baylor's FIRST HC game at Baylor's beauty on the Brazos, McLane Stadium. Get ready for a bigger, louder, crazier game. You never know, maybe former President George Bush will make another appearance.

12. Family and reunions. We all either went or currently go to this school and bleed all it's green & gold pride. At then end of the day, we're one big Baylor family: friends, faculty, and alumni alike. That's what coming home, i.e. homecoming, is all about.

'Sic em.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

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.
