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.

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.

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.
