Hokie Bucket List Update





With my final semester drawing to a close, it's time to revisit the Hokie Bucket List. Due to the weather, the hiking-related items on my list will probably no be completed. However I have been working on a few others!


  • Go to the Blacksburg Farmers' Market
  • Use the Pamplin Tunnel
  • Use the stepping stones across the Duck Pond
  • See the koi fish at the Hahn Horticulture Gardens
  • Find all 13 Gargoyles
  • Swim a consecutive mile (36 laps) in the McComas pool 
  • Go to a Burnt Creative event  
  • Eat at every establishment at Turner Place:
        Atomic Pizza
        1872 Fire Grill
        Q'doba
        Origami
        Dolci e CafĂ©
        Jamba Juice
        Bruegge's Bagels
        Soup Garden


  • Hike the Cascades
  • Hike the Cascades when it's frozen 
  • Hike Dragon's Tooth
  • Hike McAfee Knob
  • Eat at Gillie's
  • Eat at Sharkey's
  • Eat at The River Mill
  • Eat at Castle's Kettle and Pub
  • Eat at The Underground
  • Eat at Rita's
  • Eat at Cookout
  • Get a photo in front of the lit campus Christmas Tree
  • Ride every bus route:
        ♦ CRC
        ♦ Hethwood A &B 
        Hokie Express
        North Main
        South Main
        Patrick Henry
        Tom's Creek
        Progress Street
        Two Town Trolley
        University City Boulevard
        University Mall Shuttle

  • Visit Mosaic and buy some yarn
  • Visit the New River
  • Make a snow angel on the Drillfield
  • Go into Lane Stadium when it is completely empty
  • Go to a Hokies football game at night
  • Sit in the student section at a football game  
  • Graduate
**BONUS: Grad School** 

There are only a few weeks left, so hopefully I can manage to finish the doable items on the list. I really can't believe that my time at Virginia Tech is almost over. I truly love it here and, if I could, I would be a student for the rest of my life. However, it is time to start a new chapter that I am sure will be equally if not more exciting than college. I am terrified, but I am ready to check off that last item on the bucket list :)
