Things I Love To Hate About Virginia Tech
Virginia Tech

I love Virginia Tech with a passion. There are so many great things about the school, and I would like to highlight my favorites! Here are a few things Virginia Tech that I could never live without...


1. The Math Emporium.

The shining star of Virginia Tech! Here in Blacksburg, the Empo is a beautiful place filled with hopes and dreams. They even give you a water cup at your station!

2. Blacksburg Transit.

I love when my bus is full and I end up being late to class. I also love standing very close to all of my fellow hungover Hokies. It's kind of like when you sneak into North End Zone with your best friends, except the bus is a lot more fun than a football game!

3. Two Factor Login.

Besides the Empo, this is Virginia Tech's greatest idea yet. Thank goodness no one is allowed to open my account and submit any assignments for me! It's almost like everyone has their own personal security guard.

4. The Layout of West End.

West End has great food and an even greater layout. It's not confusing at all and the lines are never in the way when you're trying to walk through. There are also plenty of places to return your dishes throughout the building, because it would be crazy if there was only one dish return and it was in the back!!

5. Commuter Parking.

I love paying $274 for a parking pass. It can be hard to find a parking spot but just make sure you get to campus about three hours before your class and you'll have no problem finding a spot!

6. Goodwin Hall.

Goodwin is in prime location on campus. It's close to the dorms, and if you want to workout after class, McComas is not too far away either! If you have a class there and it's back-to-back with another class, have no fear! You can take your time and leisurely walk from building to building.

7. Parking Services.

The folks who run parking services are not ever that strict about where you park. They totally understand if you're running late or going to a test; and they are often very generous about letting people off without a ticket!!


Virginia Tech has a few things that everyone agrees could be better, but as a whole, there is no other place I could call home.

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.

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.

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.
