7 Things To Know Before A Hokie Game Day, Whether Your First Or Your Hundredth

1. Two Words: Center Street

If you don't go to Center Street, are you even a Hokie? Center Street unites us as one big family even more than we already are.

Pro-Tip: wear shoes you don't care about.

2. Maroon and Orange

Wear your gear! If you're not decked out in maroon and orange, don't bother showing your face.

And know the chants and chant them loud.

3. Eat Before

Seriously, eat all the food you planned on eating at the game before the actual game. The price of stadium food is ungodly.T he only thing worth the money is a turkey leg.

4. HYDRATION NATION

Along with the ungodly price of food comes the ungodly price of drinks. It's a long game in a stadium packed with warm bodies.

Drink plenty (of your drink of choice...just kidding Mom, drink water kids) before the game.

5. Don't bother trying to go out to eat after the game.

The wait for a table is always going to be 45 minutes at minimal. Cooking a dinner would take less time and effort than finding a restaurant to eat out at.

6. Avoid the buses at all costs.

Just like the restaurants, they are absolutely packed.

Three buses will pass you before there's a bus that isn't completely full. Just walk home.

7. Most Importantly, LET'S GO... HOKIES!

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
