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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
