Longwood University is such an amazing place! The first week of school definitely brings about some mixed emotions. We're all excited to be back to our home, but classes aren't always fun to attend. The students here at Longwood have very unique experiences. People at other colleges definitely don't experience things the way we do. Here are eight things that all of us Longwood students experience the first week back to class!
1. Taking a dip in Ruffner Fountain.
Sitting with your feet in the Ruffner Fountain is such a relaxing thing to do during the first week of class.
2. Waiting in long lines outside of DHall.
I don't know why, but freshmen seem to think D-Hall is the only place to eat lunch which makes the line go all the way to the Stu.
3. Seeing someone step on a Rotunda.
It never fails. There's always that one freshmen that ignores the traditions.
4. Touching Joanie on the Stonie.
Gotta get the good luck for the first week of class!
5. Crown hopping.
This is technically a tradition for exam week, but it never hurts to have luck to start out the semester either.
6. Not having anywhere on campus to park.
All the lots are either for commuters or faculty and staff. What a shame.
7. Not so patiently waiting for Chi.
During the first week of school, I always anticipate the first Chi walk of the year.
8. The GAME.
Getting these one-of-a-kind scarves and marching to the match is so fun! One of the best traditions ever!
With all the good, the bad, and the ugly, this place is still our home.
