“Cross of #17 from the Hokie Bucket List and enjoy a picnic at the Duck Pond! It’s a perfect date or peaceful time, especially now with the warmer weather. I recently did this with my boyfriend and it was so pretty and relaxing! Make sure to enjoy the beauty of our campus over a fresh lunch before summer break! It’s also a nice thing to do if you’re trying to find a way to unwind from studying for final exams.”

“Grab your friends and go on a mini adventure! Most of us are not from the area, so with that being said, there’s still so much to explore. With a little bit of research, you can find hidden gems all over the Blacksburg area. One of my favorites would have to be Heritage Park. I suggest packing a little picnic snack and watching the sun disappear behind the breathtaking mountains that surround us. You won’t regret it!”

“Go tubing on the New River!”
