For this week’s Campus Cutie, Her Campus interviewed Kyle Barger, a junior here at Virginia Tech.
Birthday: July 18th, 1990
Hometown: Roanoke, VA
Major: Communication – Electronic and Print Journalism, Minor – Spanish
Her Campus Virginia Tech: What activities are you involved with on and off campus?
Kyle Barger: The activity that most of my time goes to is BCM. I lead a small group of guys in Bible study every Thursday night, which has been an awesome experience. It’s pretty time consuming but definitely worth it! I also work at Inkspot near the Empo three days a week. Last year, I did Intramural Water Polo, which was a lot cooler and more competitive than it sounds. I’ll probably do that again this year.
HCVT: What’s your favorite thing about being a Hokie?
KB: Going to the football games and being around the football atmosphere during the fall. There’s nothing quite like Game Day in Blacksburg on a Saturday or Thursday night.
HCVT: What’s your favorite meal on campus?
KB: My favorite meal is the Hokie Planks and fries at West End.
HCVT: Tell us a little about your first job.
KB: I got my first job when I was sophomore in high school at Bruster’s Ice Cream in Roanoke. I worked there for two and a half years before I came to Tech. It was a pretty chill job. I worked in the back making the ice cream and then brought it up front to be sold to the customers. I got to try every flavor I made which was cool, and somehow I didn’t gain 150 pounds working there.
HCVT: Who is your celebrity crush?
KB: I’m biased toward soccer, and since she kicked butt in the Women’s World Cup this year, I have to go with Team USA Forward, Alex Morgan.
HCVT: If you had to switch places with an animal for a day, which animal would you choose and why?
KB: A cheetah. I like to run, and I’ve driven 70 mph in a car and on a jet ski. How awesome would it be to run 70 mph, too?
HCVT: What are some of your favorite sports teams?
KB: Obviously Virginia Tech above all else. Baseball – New York Yankees. Soccer – Arsenal FC, and I like Real Sociedad, as well. Hockey – Dallas Stars. NFL – Denver Broncos.
HCVT: Where is your favorite place to visit?
KB: The coolest place I have ever been is Hawaii. It’s such a beautiful place with so much to do and see. Although, I went to Spain this past summer—it was an incredible place.
HCVT: And of course: Single or taken?
KB: Single, but ready and looking for a girl to treat with care and respect.
