10 Things Virginia Tech Students Say

There are things you hear every day, and then there are things you hear every day if you go to Virginia Tech.

When you're around campus, don't be surprised to hear or even see some of these things on this list. Some are good, some bad and some are just plain ... wtf??

1. "What's a Hokie? I am."

OK, honestly don't say this to me. Don't even look me in the eyes and say these words. This is the one thing Tech students will actually never say. If you do, then you're a bright-eyed freshman who was given the famous Orientation T-Shirt with this motto printed on the back.

2. "If there's a hell, Parking Services is in charge of it."

There is never enough parking at Virginia Tech. And Parking Services is the dark enemy we will all eventually face. If you've escaped from their grasp then you're one of the lucky ones.

3. "It's so cold, but I'm still going out tonight."

Down at Tech, the winters can get very very cold. Icy winds so strong you have to wear a ski mask cold. However, that never usually stops us once the weekend rolls around.

4. "It's so cold so I think I won't go to class today."

A lame excuse, but one that is so true. Class is important, but sometimes you just want to lay in bed while everyone else freezes outside.

5. "I hope there's no line at Turner."

We tell ourselves this lie every day. Being the only actual dining hall on the academic side of campus, the struggle is real when it comes to standing in line for Qdoba.

6. "Noon games will be my death."

No one can help when the game is scheduled. It just means we have to wake up earlier to tailgate. Which also means we must do what is necessary and sacrifice sleep.

7. "I have to calculate the grade I need on this exam to get an A."

Don't you just wish your professor could bump your 58 to a 95? I hardly even bother to calculate my grades anymore because it only gives me false hope. It's all or nothing at this point.

8. "I'm in Engineering/Business."

The two biggest majors at Virginia Tech. It comes as no surprise that many students choose Tech because of these two departments. But with majors held in such high regard, can you really blame them?

9. "I need to look good for this picture with me and my Benny's, even if I've been out and it's as big as my face."

Trust me, at one in the morning after a night with friends, the picture will look less than pretty. The pizza should be the only thing that matters.

10. "There's no other place I'd rather be."

Sappy but true. Anyone here will say the same: we love Virginia Tech. No matter how much homework we have to do.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
