The VT Betch List
Â
Inspired by our idols at Betches Love This, a website devoted to all things betchy. Tech certainly has a population of their own, and here are some of the things they like and know best:
Â
1. ABP Cups: Some girls treat these like they are the most epic status symbol one could possess here on campus. Sure, they verify that you didn’t eat lunch at Owens, or worse, D2, but they are available to anyone with a meal plan or whoever wants to drop like $12 at ABP. But be careful what you put in there, betch. Those peachy palmers that every chick just loooves to gulp down pack a punch of over 275 calories—gross. And ABP iced coffee sucks, don’t kid yourself. The ice melts in 2.5 seconds and the only flavor comes from the lukewarm skim you pour in. So go ahead and fill that up with Diet Coke, some plain iced tea…..or water.
Â
2. Hours spent at ABP A betch loves to see and be seen and the best place for this is to grab a big table outside of ABP in Squires and hold court for a few hours with friends. Here betches gather to people watch (and inevitably talk s#!@), check Facebook on their Macbooks (see #4), and debate the lowest calorie options on the ABP menu.
Â
3. Studying at the Empo Since a betch loves to be seen and socialize, the only acceptable place for one to study is the Empo. And by study we mean check all forms of social media (and update them with your seat number so people can find you), organize pastel colored planners, flip through a study guide and eye flirt with that decent bro at the table next to you.
Â
4. MacBooks Betches use Mac, not PC. Hello, they show they can drop 1,500 bucks on a sleek piece of aluminum and are not plagued by computer viruses and better yet…carrying around unattractive hunks of plastic. Plus they look cute with iPhones and iPads.
5. El Rod’s margaritas A betch loves a good drink, especially if it can be called a jumbo and come in multiple colors. A betch can ignore the calorie count in an El Rod’s Marg (we don’t even want to know…) if it counts for her entire meal at El Rod’s/ dinner/ day’s worth of calories. If a betch sticks to some vodka waters or shots when she goes downtown after, she’s good to go.
Â
6. 310 Rosemont Betches like to look fierce. This starts with their outfits. Shopping is a major problem in Blacksburg because the largest store around is a Walmart and the Christiansburg mall has what, eight stores? So naturally betches can appreciate the only boutique in a 40-mile radius that sells actual designer clothes. Clothes from Target and Charlotte Russe definitely don’t cut it.
Â
7. Hokie tailgates Betches can get rowdy and the best possible arena for this is an outdoor tailgate. If it’s 8 a.m. on gameday and you’re not in the Prices Forks lot or out behind Center St., who are you? Well, not a betch. Make your moves from mimosas, to shots, to beer. Start early for maximum results, which include peaking at noon, tearing it up when you jump to “Enter Sandman,” screaming the “Stick it in” chant (losers banned that one anyway) and being thrown up in the air for Hokie touchdowns.
