I should be in bed since I have to be up before the sun tomorrow for my 8 AM teaching class, but I couldn’t go to bed without talking (or in this case typing) about what I discovered tonight. Baylor University has been said to be “lowering their standards.” (more…)
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! (more…)
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. We had snow ball fights and made snow men. My new favorite game is to throw snow balls at innocent, unexpecting people from the top of the parking garage. Hehe (: (more…)
This isn’t how my first semester of college was supposed to be for me. (more…)
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. (more…)
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.

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. (more…)
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. But its not only the leaves that are changing. Football season is coming to a quick close. Basketball has started up. There’s talk of finals in the air. Everyone, professors included, are anxiously awaiting Thanksgiving break. (more…)
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. From the beautiful buildings to the wonderful school spirit and christian environment, I knew I was home. And really, that’s exactly how I’ve felt ever since I’ve been here. (more…)
