A Letter To My Beautiful University

Longwood, you have my heart.

A Letter To My Beautiful University
Mason Moorefield

College is an exciting time for everyone. It's a time when individuals step out on there own. A time where they leave home and learn about themselves. A time where they can find themselves and who they want to be. When I decided to attend Longwood University as a senior in high school, I was still very iffy about my decision.

I was, and still am, a homebody. I was worried about leaving home and being on my own. I was worried that I wouldn't make friends or be successful in my school work. Even when I arrived at Longwood to start my freshman year, I still had my doubts. In fact, I wanted to leave Longwood. But thanks to my mom and one of my dearest friends, I decided to stay.

Going and deciding to stay at Longwood is the best decision I have ever made. I found my home at Longwood. It is something about Longwood's campus. It's mesmerizing and beautiful...it is home. Anyone who steps onto its campus cannot help but fall in love with it. Longwood has helped me grow and develop into the person that I am today. It has pushed me to step out of my comfort zone, believe in myself, and push myself.

At Longwood, I have met the most amazing people. People from near and far that have made huge impacts on my life. Some of these people have come and gone, but the memories that I have made with all of these people will last a lifetime.

I cannot imagine what my life would be like if I was not a Longwood Lancer. If I had not stepped out of my comfort zone and given this beautiful university a chance. This university has given me so much and has stolen my heart.

Thank you, Longwood for stealing my heart four years ago and shaping me into the student and person that I am today. I do not want to leave you in a year, but I am hoping and praying that I will be with you for another two years in grad school.

Nowhere compares to Longwood and I am so blessed to be able to call this place home.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
