7 Things Every Virginia Tech Student Hates

The Hokie struggle is real.

7 Things Every Virginia Tech Student Hates

At Virginia Tech, we are united. And all of our shared frustrations unite us even more. If you go here, you will surely understand where I'm coming from; you might laugh, and you might cry but you will definitely agree.

1. When people call Virginia Tech, VTech.

Call it VT, call it Virginia Tech, call it anything you want besides VTech. We hate it.


2. Eduroam.

For some reason, the WIFI has always sucked here. They got the new Eduroam, but it hasn’t seemed to work any better so far.


3. When people ask if we feel safe here.

Yes, actually, we do. A shooting that happened almost 10 years ago does not make us feel unsafe. It could happen anywhere, and if anything, we are more prepared to act if it were to ever happen again.

4. That everybody asks what a Hokie is.

Why do you need an exact definition of our mascot? This is a Hokie:

End of story.

5. When people assume we all hate UVA.

UVA is a great school. We may get a little competitive when it comes to the UVA-Tech football game, but every other day we have nothing but love and support for our “rival”.


6. Every time someone says our football team sucks now.

Our football team definitely ran into some trouble. But so far, we have won 3 out of 4 games this season. And we're probably better than you're football team.

7. Drop/Add.

The whole process of signing up for classes is incredibly stressful. You never know if you'll get all the classes you requested and need to take to graduate on time, and then you have to scramble add whatever classes you didn't get.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
