Wes, see if you can install rsyslog or syslog-ng.

The product I work on uses the std syslog() and logger calls to send
logs to journald. They go into a fixed size binary ring buffer in
memory, which is great for an embedded device where disk writes need
to be minimized and memory needs to be conserved. The rsyslog daemon
reads and filters log message from journald and writes them to
individual log files in /var/log/. Our customers routinely use tail -f
/var/log/syslog.
