This weekend was filled with walking around Longwood’s campus and the town of Farmville, reconnecting with friends not seen in months and having a blast at Oktoberfest. As an alumna, I was nervous about visiting campus and seeing all of the changes that had taken place in the five months I’ve been ...
Two issues ago, I wrote a piece on how sustainable Longwood really is. A few days ago, I was given the opportunity by Kelly Ann Martin, the Sustainability Coordinator and her intern, Haley Vest, to tour the Biomass Heating Plant and Recycling Center on campus. After the tours, I felt as if I should ...
Same thing, different year. The sun comes out and so do the half- naked girls on campus. I’m graduating in three weeks, and I’m still not used to seeing this happen. I’m a woman, and I still feel uncomfortable with seeing bikini clad women lounging around campus throughout the entire day. May ...

When that sun does come out, if it ever stops snowing and being cold, you will be able to wear shorts, dresses and bikinis. Why not wear them with your winter body? These questions will be ...
Attending a university is a stressful event in itself. If a person happens to fail a course, come down with a grade- altering illness or something else that may put a damper on his or her plans for good grades and that high GPA we all strive for, there will come a time where quitting school is on your ...
Everybody has bad habits that they want to rid themselves of. Breaking the bad habits that you’ve had since long before your time at Longwood, or even picked up while you’ve been here, are hard, but it’s important that eventually you break them. You have to realize you’re doing something bad ...
