I
can’t believe my four years at Virginia Tech are coming to an end! When I
graduate I don’t want to feel like I’ve missed out on anything, so I’m going to
complete my own top 50 Hokie Bucket List (mostly taken from the SCA bucket list
with some additions of my own). Every time I complete something I’ll write
about it and hopefully inspire some fellow hokies to get everything they can out
of their four…or maybe five…years here at Tech!
