What Your Favorite Longwood Building Says About You

Longwood University, founded in 1839, is rich in history and school spirit. With over 30 diverse buildings (and still expanding), each student is destined to fall in love with at least one. Whether it's in the grand Rotunda of Ruffner Hall, the soft golden velvet seats of Jarman Auditorium, the inviting food court in the Lankford Student Union, or the state-of-the-art Health and Fitness Center, there's something for everyone on campus to enjoy and admire. Everyone has that special spot that they love to hang out, do homework, or take some alone time in, and here is what your favorite building on campus says about you.

Greenwood Library

You're extremely serious about your studies and the closer you are to the resources, the better you will study and learn. It is also possible that you are required to spend time in the library for your Greek organization or sports team. Or, if you are like me, you just like to people watch on Brock Commons from the comfort of the children's literature section.

Bedford Hall

You are artsy and you know it. Lucky you, you have one of the nicest buildings on campus to learn in! (Also, the only building in which you can sunbathe).

Hull Education Center

Unless you're an education major, there's a good chance that you've never been in this building. If this is your favorite building, you're definitely an education major, which makes you one of the most caring and patient people on this campus. Go you!

Hiner Hall

If your favorite building is Hiner, you don't need a fancy new building to be happy. It's about the little things in life, and the swivel seats in Hiner 201 and 203 are enough to satisfy you.

Willett Hall

You LIVE for basketball season and Lancer Pants is probably your #ManCrushMonday every week. You might even have a countdown to basketball season on your calendar, and you are most definitely a Lancer Lunatic.

Wygal Hall

You love music and your appreciation for the finer things in life are far more advanced than many others. You log many hours in this building, which increases your love for the... less than new building.

Health and Fitness Center

One of the most popular spots on campus, you are all about being seen. If people can see you while you're flexing with free weights, even better. Fitness is very important to you, too.

French Hall

If your favorite building is French, you have big dreams outside of the tiny town of Farmville. Everything is an opportunity to build your resume and get one step closer to that goal of being in broadcasting. Those who aren't communications majors are truly missing out on the beauty that is French's million dollar studio.

Ruffner Hall

You fully appreciate the history of Longwood University and feel spiritually connected to Joanie on the Stone-y. You could sit around the Rotunda for hours, doing homework or just chatting with the people around you. There's also a good chance that you're a legacy student.


It's hard not to love Longwood University, and the amazing architecture and stories that go with it just add to the admiration that students and alumni feel. Which is your favorite building?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
