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.

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.

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.
