Baylor University has been said to be “lowering their standards.” In September of 2009, the first term or my freshman year, Baylor’s newspaper, The Lariat, published an article entitled, “Freshmen: Larger class, lower scores.”

Yes ladies and gentlemen, it has happened. After one year, six months, twenty eight days, and roughly seven hours (just kidding on that last part) Baylor University went from having an eternal interim president, aka David Garland, and got an actual president!
Interestingly enough, Baylor gave the student body a good twenty four hour notice before the President’s formal introduction that there was, in fact, a new president. Just last week I heard talk of the odd fact that we didn’t and probably won’t have a president for a while. Hmm, I wonder how long this has been in the works?
Happiness is better!
Okay, I admit. The past post was pretty bad. I was quite down in the dumps yesterday. But like I said, I am an optimist, and things will get better. After I wrote that post I went outside to the beautiful snow and played around in it.

This isn’t how my first semester of college was supposed to be for me.
I had the guy. And the friends. It was going great. I was always busy with something or someone. But I feel like I’ve lost all that. I don’t have places to go anymore. I sit alone in my room quite frequently. The guy is gone. The friends are busy with their guys that miraculously managed to stick around. I get all my homework done because I have nothing else to do.

Being sick in college; it really isn’t fun. Of course, I don’t just get the common cold. I’m always sick with my wonderful Crohn’s Disease. Coming to college, I knew I’d at least have one flare up from the stress of moving away from home and the life I had set in stone. Changes cause stress. Stress causes flares. Therefore, change=flares.

I don’t mean that in the sense that the classes are hard. Not that they’re exactly easy. But just the whole experience. Yeah, its fun. You’ve got your parties and your school activities, and of course the infamous sports (although maybe not exactly at Baylor). That part is great. But they don’t prepare you for the loneliness.
Full Story »Two homes, one heart.
Don’t get me wrong, being home for Thanksgiving is fantastic. But my heart is so confused! Its such an odd feeling, I’m not even sure if I can describe it. When I came home on Tuesday, I immediately realized how weird it felt! I feel as though I’m living two different lives. I’ve got all of my old friends from high school that are here for me when I come home, but I’ve also got all of my friends at Baylor. Being home really throws me off.
Full Story »It’s Fall in Bear Country!
Well, it may not exactly be cold yet, but I can still see signs of fall! Baylor has a fantastically beautiful campus on its own, but when all the leaves are changing and there’s a slight chill in there air…there’s nothing like it.
Full Story »Heads up from Baylor!
When I was a senior in high school I started my college adventure. I didn’t have to look long before I found Baylor University. From the moment I stepped on campus for my college visit, I knew it was where I belonged.
