The new beauty trend for the summer is glowing skin. Ever since Rihanna gifted the beauty community with her new Fenty Beauty product, “Body Lava,” everyone has been buying out the body luminizer. The names of the highlighters themselves are enticing enough (“Who Needs Clothes” being the favorite) and the skin of the models flaunting the product on the Fenty website look absolutely stunning as well. Everyone's skin is just itching to be radiant and glisten in the sun from this sacred highlight.

I transferred to Longwood in the Fall of 2016 as an incoming junior without knowing a single person at the university. I decided to get involved in The Rotunda to develop my graphic design skills, strengthen my resume and meet new people. I wanted to dedicate my time to something in hopes of preparing for life after graduation, however, I was blessed with much more than that. I have met some of the best people to ever enter my life and I never would’ve expected that only being at Longwood for two short years. Being a part of the layout section of the magazine has helped me grow so much as a designer. I was able to help redesign the newspaper into a news-source magazine and that has been one of my most satisfying accomplishments design related. Being able to work on layout for the magazine each week has been something I have looked forward to on a regular basis. Layout design is what I love the most in graphic design, so being a part of the layout section has been a perfect fit for me. I am thankful I found The Rotunda when I transferred because without it my time at Longwood University would not have been the best it has turned out to be.
Of my 142 Rotunda bylines, only two use the word, “I.” As an individual, I am not important and plan to stay that way. Instead, the spotlight should shine on this incredible community that I’ve had the pleasure to serve for the past four years. Through the good, the bad and the bizarre – clown sightings or #StopReplyAll, anyone? – this community remains my first and only choice for an education and a family.
Throughout my three years in The Rotunda, I have changed so much. Though I joined The Rotunda knowing I did not want to write or be a journalist, I found the perfect place for me.
"Throughout my three years on The Rotunda, I meet so many different people with such unique personalities, opinions and backgrounds. Everyone taught me so much, not only about journalism, but event planning and social media. I will miss everyone so much! It's already weird not being at the meetings. I wish everyone the best and cannot wait to see where they take this organization! P.S. although there were only two PR concentrations in the room each meeting we rocked the whole room!"
I'm very thankful for the help that you all have given me on my writing. I'll make sure to put those lessons to work wherever I end up. In my years here at Longwood, I have experienced many great things here, ranging from The Rotunda from joining Lambda Pi Eta, the Politics Club and WMLU. I think that these were all very important for my development as a student, but as time went on (especially in my senior year) I had to limit these to the essentials, which I decided was basically The Rotunda and not much else. I think this goes to show just how important this community has been to me. Thank you very much for everything.
When you've dedicated yourself to an organization for four years, it's difficult to let it go, especially when that organization becomes your family. My first week at Longwood, I went to my first Rotunda meeting. I was clueless about writing and was still the scared, shy kid that was afraid to speak. Still, I left that meeting with my first writing assignment and a new sense of purpose (though I didn’t know it yet). Throughout my four years, I have proudly worked as Features staff, Features Editor and Rotunda Studios Executive Producer. The task of reviving Rotunda Studios is probably my most challenging, yet most rewarding accomplishment at Longwood; it’s my baby. I almost wished I had one more year to further build it, but I’m proud of what we’ve done and I know that Nicole and the Rotunda Studios staff will only continue to better it.
