“I went to Colorado [over Christmas break] and visited a friend for a few days. One day we went snowmobiling. Since I’m from Texas, I’d never seen real snow before, so I got to see a lot of real snow; that was really fun. I came back early for Panhellenic recruitment. … I’m in Kappa […]

[What did you do over Christmas break?] “The most exciting thing I did was get a tattoo… A lot of women in my family like poppies; they symbolize a peaceful rest, and I struggle with anxiety. It’s something I’m aspiring to achieve — peaceful rest. “My therapist thinks that my anxiety originated with my friend […]

[How was your Christmas break?] “It was pretty awesome. Kind of cold. I went to Minneapolis, so it was -10 [degrees]… I’ve pretty much lived all over. My parents are currently living in Minneapolis, but I went to high school in Seattle. My dad used to work for Amazon, so we had to move around […]
“Honestly, I just really love ugly Christmas sweaters. [My other one] is a Christmas tree made out of gold tinsel that has jingle bells on it. Like, it is the most hideous thing I’ve ever found. I’m trying to get my mom to let me wear it to every family dinner. She’s not having it. […]
“I’m graduating in May… I still haven’t eaten at Health Camp. I need to cross that off the bucket list. I want to go check out the Waco Mammoth Site, go see how the bells in Pat Neff work, you know some of that. I work as a tour guide for Baylor, so I know […]
“I guess my favorite part about Christmas is how cozy everything feels. I’ll go find Christmas food, other people dress up, put up lights and everything — the happy atmosphere.” [Do you have a Christmas wish for this year?] “To be able to spend time with my friends if I wasn’t able to as much […]
“The best part about Christmas is probably all the ways people spread joy with each other, whether that’s spending time with your family and sharing joy, or going to church and remembering what Christmas is really about, or singing carols. Everything people seem to be doing during Christmastime is making others smile and happy.” “I […]
“I love being around our students, because they’re exceptionally great students. I always ask them who their favorite professor is and what’s been the most transformative class. They don’t have to think twice, and frequently when I ask them who their favorite professor is, they can’t limit it to one. “What’s struck me is how […]

[If you could teach your daughter one thing about Baylor, what would it be?] Mom: “Probably the sense of community and how everyone kind of helps each other out. How everyone’s so kind to each other – just the good atmosphere that it has.” Dad: “I always had nice people around me, professors, faculty, you […]

“I love literally everything about Christmas… I’ve always loved Christmas trees. They’re my favorite. We had a Christmas tree when I was a child that was six feet tall, had 15,000 lights on it, because we had 150 strands of 100 bulbs (did I do that math right?), so 15,000. It actually heated up part […]
