There are pretty spots on Virginia Tech's campus. Overall, VT is beautiful. But there are underrated spots just like there are "basic" spots on campus. Date spots, game days, relaxing on the Drillfield... all in the fall with the leaves falling is just simply... breathtaking.


1. Duck Pond

It's a perfect "fall" date for couples... especially during #cuffingseason. You can sit on a bench or in one of the gondolas, look over the water, and potentially get engaged. And if you're single, you can feed the ducks or go fishing. It's a beautiful spot that's been on VT's campus since the 1800s.

2. 4/16 Memorial

Walking up and down Drillfield Drive and next to Burruss and seeing the leaves fall off the trees by the memorial is breathtaking. Every time I walk by it, I just stop and appreciate the beauty that is Virginia Tech.

3. The lawn between Torg and McBryde where the leaves fall off the trees

An underrated spot that you've probably never noticed if you ever went to Virginia Tech but the leaves falling off the trees right next to McBryde is truly amazing. The trees overshadow the sidewalk going up to McBryde and as you take every step you can hear that leaf crunch (if you forgot your headphones at home).

4. Torg Bridge and everything in between

Torg Bridge is just beautiful. If you happen to find a seat in Torg Bridge, you can either see the downtown Chipotle (which is also pretty let's be real) or you can see the Pylons and the lawn just in front of the bridge where seniors take their pictures in front of the flowers. Torg... is just beautiful.

5. Lane Stadium on game day

How else do I explain the fact that jumping to Enter Sandman with your fellow 60,000 Hokies is beautiful?

6. The huge flower VT logo outside English Field

As soon as you enter the back entrance of Virginia Tech, you are graced with the presence of so many flowers shaped into VT and right outside English Field Union Park, aka the baseball field. It's another underrated pretty photo spot on campus but it's something that you must see before you graduate.

7. Sitting on top of the Pylons overlooking the Drillfield

Lastly, the Drillfield is a sight. Feet dangling from the edge of the Pylons and looking out over the Drillfield is something any Hokie should do before they graduate. Sitting on top of the Pylons and overlooking the Drillfield — at sunset time — is breathtaking not to mention Instagrammable.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
