Rough night, police called on Hendrix and PacMan, possession of … I don’t even know yet that the police couldn’t care less where I was… So here I am mumbling, stumbling and tumbling through that graveyard by CVS, like a homicidal drifter always looking over their shoulder trying to stay clear ...
As parents of Longwood students headed back home after a long parent’s weekend, students prepared to “turn up” in order to relieve stress. One such student was that of Rebecca Kinkade, a resident of Frazer Hall who reported being “totally wasted” on Saturday night. However, this story took ...
I was recently asked during a casual conversation what I know for sure. I was asked what finite things or what absolute facts I felt with the most certainty and the most confidence, what I knew to be true and honest. After thinking for a while, staring blankly into space, wondering and trying to gather ...

Lance leaves behind 37 beloved fraternity brothers, his girlfriend Margret Stace, and his side girl Vanessa Besto. FFF would like ...
Once again, I am officially offended. This time it is not because of one of Donald Trump’s racist comments. It is not because some called me a “feminazi,” and it is not because someone picked on me, individually. It is actually because of something that was not aimed towards me as a woman. Though ...
I began to feel antsy in my room. It was around midnight. I needed to burn some energy, so I decided to take a walk around town. I didn’t realize how dark it would be until I walked through the “High Bridge Trail.” I felt like I was walking with my eyes closed. The traffic lights were deceiving. ...
Do you have a #GirlSquad? What are your ultimate #SquadGoals? Do you have any idea what I am even talking about? Let me explain. By legal definition, or what I like to call urbandictionary.com, a “girl squad” is “a crew, posse, and gang: an informal group of girls with a common identity and a ...
I truly admire those that have the self control to not watch all of Orange Is The New Black in one sitting. Really I wish I could spread it out and make it last, but inevitably I end up watching whole seasons within a matter of days. Season three came out a few hours early this summer causingTwitter ...
I found PacMan lying on his floor in Skid Row, electric Kool-Aid on tongue, third eye opened, goggles on, he was ready. He was in the middle of a five-day acid binge and had adopted the habits of a schizophrenic. He was catatonic and unresponsive to my questions. I left him there, it was late, and I ...
Dear Transfer Student, So at first this is going to suck. Let’s face it change is a painful but necessary part of life and transferring into a new school is no different. I don’t know your specific reason for transferring, since everyone's case is different. Maybe your old school wasn't a good fit, ...
We have all logged on to our social media accounts to find that the only thing that has happened since our last visit is the creation and spread of another social change campaign. What was at one moment a hash-tag about the presidential race of 2016, quickly became a hash-tag about police brutality ...
Dear employers, There is something you should understand about what it means to have a tattoo: they come in all shapes and sizes on all different types of people. Certainly some people don’t fully think over their misspelt tattoos, but many do not regret their permanent art display. With nearly “40 ...

It was the spring of my senior year in high school. Everyone knew where they were going except for me. I hadn’t gotten any letters of acceptance from any other schools. This was probably because I didn’t apply to any other schools other than Longwood University, so I was patiently waiting for some ...
When I stepped onto Longwood’s campus back in 2011, I had no idea there was a school paper. I mean, I could not find a table at the involvement fair nor had anyone I talked to seem to know it existed. Had it not been for one lone Rotunda editor bringing in the most recent edition into my Biology lab, ...
What a run it has been. When I started out as a sports writer for The Rotunda in 2012, I never could have imagined my final year would have been this special. I made the jump to news last spring and never looked back. I am extremely proud of the topics we have covered this past year and the overall ...
I'm thankful for having such an amazing opportunity to work with so many awesome people through my time with The Rotunda, and I'll never forget any of the lessons I learned. It's been a wild ride for sure with ups and downs around every corner, from working till 4 a.m. on Tuesday nights, to covering ...
My time at Longwood University has been full of new friends, albums of memories and essays out the wazoo. My high school friend, then college roommate, Alexandra McMahon, has seen me through all four years of my college education. She has helped me through underdeveloped theses, ramblings about significance ...
Even though One Hit Wonder Day is technically September 25, here is a composition of song lyrics. The poem features songs from artists you probably don’t remember like Metro Station, Daniel Powter and even Ester Dean. “In 525,600 minutes- how do you measure, measure a year?” “I bet cha neva ...
