Studying Abroad: Scary But Worth ItSeptember 13th, 2011
At first, I thought that studying abroad was one of the most scary things I’ve ever done. Although I had been actively planning all the details for quite awhile, when it came time to go, I had serious reservations about it. I was going 5,000 miles across the world completely alone, into a country where I had never been, and … A Heart OverwhelmedAugust 13th, 2011
Statistics. Statistics. Statistics. They are only statistics until they turn into a real person. There are 6 million children living in Zambia and 1 million of them are orphans. The life expectancy age in Zambia is 38 years old as opposed to 78 years old in America. Unemployment is estimated between 50-80%, some places 90%. Zambia has the highest per … A Walk Down Memory LaneMay 14th, 2011
For my last night in Waco before summer, my friends and I went out to eat for our “last supper” together. We couldn’t help but feel sentimental about already finishing half of our college careers and how fast it had gone by. All we could seem to talk about was the memories that we had together from freshman year to … A New AppreciationApril 25th, 2011
There’s a common saying that “you don’t appreciate things until they’re gone.” I’ve always thought it sounded a little cliché, but now that I’m in college the phrase has become strangely true for me. My family and I have always been very close. I am so blessed to have two wonderful parents and three younger brothers, the youngest being only … Twas the Night Before School… AFTER Spring BreakMarch 24th, 2011
Every spring semester comes one of the most anticipated weeks of the year… spring break. At the end of spring break comes one of the most dreaded days of the year… the night before school starts again. Students have just experienced one of the most exhilarating weeks of our life. Whether it was skiing, laying out on a beach, or … Texas BowlJanuary 2nd, 2011
Many times when students pick a college to attend, they choose in part as a result of a long legacy of championship sports teams. While Baylor has been very successful in baseball, and men’s and women’s basketball- which won a national championship in 2005, football has not been of Baylor’s most thriving programs. Because of their success this season, Baylor’s … Christmas Shopping on a College BudgetDecember 17th, 2010
The dilemma: Having to shop for your 37 friends, four siblings, and two parents on a not-so-large amount of cash. Not to mention, Christmas shopping is also one of the last things that a college student wants to think about as we’re pulling all-nighters to prepare for finals. Some people decide just to not get anyone anything, but that can … Pigskin RevueOctober 15th, 2010
Yep, it’s that time again. Time for music, choreography, costumes, and backdrops, late night practices, no sleep, and muscle memory. It’s time for Pigskin at Baylor University. Pigskin Revue occurs during Baylor Homecoming every year, and is greatly anticipated by many students, parents, and alums. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the tradition, let me give you a … New Little FriendSeptember 23rd, 2010
Being a second-year college student, I have left behind the excitement of dorm living and now live in a house with five other girls about three blocks from campus. I am finding that living on our own in a house offers some unique experiences to my roommates and me. After getting out of my physics class at noon, I was … Being a Happy CamperSeptember 9th, 2010
“What time is it?” “What are we doing next?” “When are we going to the pool?” “When’s lunch?” “Can I have a piggy-back ride?” “I miss my mommy.” “Do I HAVE to play this game?” “It’s too burning up outside!” “Will you help me make my bed?” This summer I had the opportunity to work at TbarM Sports Camp in … Trip to Zambia: Part 2August 29th, 2010
I wrote earlier about my trip to Zambia this summer, and here are some more details: I lived with 5 other girls who each had a group of boys or girls that week to oversee. We stayed in Mulangishi Villiage, a small neighborhood with homes usually to house government officials. We had electricity most of the time, and semi-warm running … Trip to Zambia: Part 1August 23rd, 2010
Remember in the 3rd grade, on the first day of school, when your teacher told you to get out a sheet of paper and write about what you did all summer? Yellowstone National Park, a family trip to the beach, a cruise to the Bahamas were some of the typical responses. Personally, I never really liked that assignment. … The Freshman FifteenJuly 2nd, 2010
Weight. Lbs. Poundage. The bane of a girl’s existence. AKA: the Freshman 15. Everyone swears it won’t happen. College came and I had no kitchen and no mommy. At first, I treated myself to my favorite restaurants most days, until my eating out increased my jean size and decreased my checking account. The trips to Whataburger at 2am for a … If I Only Knew ThenJune 25th, 2010
I’m Morgan Taylor and I’ll be a sophomore at Baylor University majoring in Public Relations. I graduated from Houston Christian High School and grew up in the Memorial area. My freshman year. BLINK. It was time to move into the dorm. BLINK. It was time to move out. Here’s what I know now that I wish I’d known then. Many … |
