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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
