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.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

April Ludgate from Parks and Recreation is notorious for her "I don't care" attitude. She speaks her mind without caring what anyone thinks of her. Fans love her because she isn't afraid to be herself. April can seem cold and negative, but she's really just fearless and strong-minded. And despite her sometimes harsh words, April truly cares about the people she's closest to. These are all reasons she is the epitome of a college student. April complains whenever she has to do any kind of work, but ends up doing the work anyway. April Ludgate is the ultimate college student spirit animal.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.
