When you’re in your 20’s, the word “tradition” probably doesn’t mean as it might later in life, but I’m grateful to be surrounded by the very definition of tradition. It just happens to involve Virginia Tech football, too. Just last month, I was reading my friend Hadley C.’s blog, and she shared a fantastic quote …

Elizabeth, 4-H, and TEDx.
I knew I would want to blog about this absolutely immediately. I just knew it. It’s a Thursday night, and I’m enjoying a livestream of TEDxVirginiaTech with a mug of hot chocolate. (I almost never blog about things immediately – I let my ideas marinate. Not this time. That’s how serious this is). If you’re not familiar …
Leaving a legacy.
When I was accepted to be a student at my alma mater in the winter of 2007, I was the least bit concerned with “leaving a legacy.” I was more concerned with getting out of high school scott-free and being able to have a good time, away, at college, while also earning a degree. I …

I’m pretty sure words aren’t needed for this glory. Watch and get PYSHCED. Shout out to billdozervt for another year and another quality video. Counting down the days till VT football: 34.

A moment when things that you do – and some of them might be totally normal, day-to-day things for you – gets some kind of recognition? Well, one of those definitely happened to me today. Late last night, I …
Hands on, Minds on.
With it being “orientation season” at VT, many people have been asking me questions…from current orientation leaders to rising freshman (“first-year”) students. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to partake in this wonderful video about a hike to the Cascades that my friends helped me do. I wanted to share the video here …
Home is where the heart is.
It was more than two years ago that, for the first time ever, a Facebook status made me tear up. “As I drive out of Blacksburg tonight, I leave behind my one true love… Virginia Tech. Don’t worry sweetheart, I’ll be back again someday and I know you’ll always be waiting for me.” My friend …
