Today is a day that history shall never forget. That I shall never forget. I was originally not going to be able to watch this unprecedented event, due to a class, but thankfully the obstacle was canceled. As soon as I was sure my professor wasn't coming, I ran to the dining hall. The actual ceremony wasn't scheduled to start for another 15 minutes ( Read more... )

With the first week of the semester nearly over, I'm feeling mostly confident. I'm taking mostly social work courses, and while they're going to be hard work, I'm pretty sure I'll do well. Recruitment for all the sororities on campus starts tonight and lasts until Monday. A lot of my Sisters are stressing out, but I know we'll be fine. We might not ( Read more... )

Finally home. Thank God. If I could drop out of school, get married now, and do what I want to do with my life right away, I totally would. I don't want August to ever come. It's going by fast already, though. I'm working every day for long hours and even though I like my job it takes up all the time I could spend with Alex and my fam. Can't even ( Read more... )

How could it happen? To one of the smartest people I know? No justice here. It's one of those things that you don;t think could ever happen to someone you know, someone you love. To Buck?

He loves his job and wants to become a Genius, which is the title of someone who is a full-time tech support worker at Apple. I ( Read more... )

If there has ever been a week o' stress, this has been it. And it's only Tuesday. It started this past Sunday. I had spent the weekend at home after performing in Sterling at a guard competition. Unfortunately, I there was no one available to take me back to school during the day, so I had to wait for Alex to get off of work at 7 pm before we could ( Read more... )

My time at home is soon coming to an end. I can't believe it was over so fast. I hardly know where the time went. And now that I face returning to Longwood once again, I'm not sure how to feel. On one hand I am eager to have my freedom back and to see my college friends again. But on the other hand I am desperately sad to be leaving my family, ( Read more... )

Energy pulses through the dining hall as I weave my way through a crowd of fellow students towards the food. My friends follow behind in the trail I make. Normally at this time of night, D-Hall would be closed. But not tonight, or any other night this week. In order to help students take a break from studying, Longwood has a long-standing tradition ( Read more... )
