If you are a Longwood student, you are probably familiar with The Comma. The Comma is the convenience store that is in the same building as the library. It has snacks, drinks, and even a milkshake machine. Although The Comma sounds like a great place, it really isn't. It has taken the place of the best coffee shop we had on campus, and it has left many people heartbroken. The Comma cannot fill the void. I have compiled a list of things that are better, and will always be better, than The Comma.
1. The Old Stu.
Also known as the ~real~ Stu. Sure the newer Upchurch Stu will be cool, but the old/real Stu will always be better than The Comma.
2. Java City.
We just want Java City back. Java City had the best coffee around, but now all we have is The Comma.
3. The POD.
I'd rather walk or take the FAB to Lancer Park than go to The Comma.
4. The FAB.
Speaking of the FAB. It is never on time, but it is still better than The Comma.
5. DHall.
DHall can be very questionable sometimes, but I still would rather go there than The Comma.
6. Barnes and Noble/Starbucks.
I don't know why I don't like the Starbucks in Barnes and Noble. It is probably because it isn't a real Starbucks. Even though I don't like it, I still like it better than The Comma.
7. Construction Work.
There's construction work everywhere. It is annoying, but so is The Comma.
8. Ruffner Stairs.
Everybody knows that walking up the stairs in Ruffner is literally the worst thing ever. I can't explain why it is so bad, but it just is. The Comma is worse though.
9. Freshmen That Wear Lanyards.
Last, but certainly not least, the freshmen who wear their lanyards around their neck all over campus. This is probably the most cringey sight. Those freshmen are still less cringey than The Comma.
The only thing that is worse than The Comma is when people step on a Rotunda.
