Dear Santa,

I love Virginia Tech and I am so thankful to go to the best school in the world. There is so much to love about this school, but there are a few things that every Hokie would love...

1. A Faculty/Staff parking pass.

Everyone hates commuter parking. How to solve this? Get a faculty/staff parking pass! These parking spots are so much better and don't fill up as quickly as the commuter spots.

2. Tickets to the ACC Championship.

This year with a new coach, we had high hopes for our football team--and Justin Fuente has not disappointed! We are beyond excited to be going to the ACC Championship game in Orlando on December 3 to play Clemson... Santa, do you do early Christmas gifts...?

3. Tickets to the ??? Bowl.

We are all so excited that our team is going to its 24th straight bowl game this year! Although where we are going is still to be announced, we cannot wait for the game and would love tickets to be there to see our Hokies play!!

4. Meal plan money.

Towards the end of the semester, everyone runs out of money for our meal plans. A little bit of extra money for food would be much appreciated.

5. ...Actually, any type of money.

College students are not ones to turn down money.

6. Heavy duty snow gear.

The winters in Blacksburg are no joke. Last year, we got a huge snowstorm which brought an astounding 11 inches of snow. We also don't cancel classes, like ever, so snowshoes are a requirement to make it across the Drillfield in the snow.

7. A Keurig machine with mimosas.

Because sometimes you need something stronger than caffeine in the morning.

8. A puppy (or puppies...)

Everybody loves puppies!!! You can't go wrong with a puppy as a Christmas gift! College is stressful and a puppy would be a great way to de-stress.

9. A personal chauffeur.

I am not a fan of Blacksburg Transit, but with my own personal chauffeur, I'd have someone to drive me all around Blacksburg! And, bonus, you won't have to compete with the inevitable 1:00 am Uber surges!
