Hokie Bucket List


As many of you know, it is my final semester at Virginia Tech. As such, I thought that it would be appropriate to make sort of a last hurrah bucket list of the things that I've wanted to do (or should do) before I leave. This is long overdue and probably a bit incomplete, so if you have any suggestions, please let me know!

  • Use the stepping stones across the Duck Pond
  • See the koi fish at the Hahn Horticulture Gardens
  • Find all 13 Gargoyles
