I went to Orientation, I came on a trip here just visiting, but once you\u2019re actually living here, it\u2019s a lot different. It\u2019s more comforting knowing that this is your home for a year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20337\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.baylor.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/bob-joinband-sept17.jpg\" alt=\"#BearsOfBaylor\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www2.baylor.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/bob-joinband-sept17.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www2.baylor.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/bob-joinband-sept17-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www2.baylor.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/bob-joinband-sept17-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www2.baylor.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/bob-joinband-sept17-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www2.baylor.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/bob-joinband-sept17-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>[Every Baylor Bear has a story;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www2.baylor.edu\/baylorproud\/category\/bearsofbaylor\/\">#BearsOfBaylor<\/a>\u00a0brings those stories to you, one by one.
