How do you describe today's Baylor student?

Wears pajama pants to class. Runs 5 miles a day. Volunteers at an animal shelter. Studies Latin vocab at midnight. Sings opera in the shower. Teaches a first-grade Sunday school class. Tutors in biology. Practices three-pointers. Writes poetry. Speaks English as a second language. Can't wait for the real world. Just added another major. Has a cell phone attached to the ear.
Each different.
