I've seen some pretty big changes in regard to Longwood's development over the years I've been here. From little 18-year-old me beginning her college journey to the now almost 22-year-old senior looking forward to the next steps.

There are several things I think Longwood should bring back.

1. (Most important) Outta Here

Outta Here was essentially a one-stop, grab-and-go place below the main dining area. They had the best paninis and it was where I grabbed lunch (and sometimes dinner) every day during my freshman year. Towards the end of my sophomore year they shut it down and my heart was broken - as was my bank account since I was now turning to other lunch options.

2. The "STU"

Don't get me wrong, I love Upchurch and everything that has come with it. But, the STU was my favorite homework and in-between-classes spot. The rather crappy couches hit different when studying had to happen or when you just needed a place to eat lunch and watch Netflix. With the STU came Einstein's and seeing my breakfast bagel go was another tear-jerker moment.

3. Java City

We're fortunate enough to have Starbucks now and there is still workspace in The Comma (what they replaced Java City with), but it isn't the same. Plus, the location was perfect for the afternoon pick me up on the other side of campus.

4. The sandwich station in the dining hall. 

There isn't a whole lot of Dhall food that agrees with me, but I could always count on the sandwich station. Now I have essentially no reason to step foot in the dining hall. However, I do appreciate that they do to-go containers now and the new additions and ideas they are implementing.

I know these all are food-related, but let's be honest, that's what really matters to a college student.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
