On my stroll to the Duck Pond, I spilled an iced coffee everywhere after making a cavalier comment about Lena Dunham, which doubles as my audition for Girls.
The Duck Pond is hands-down one of the prettiest spots on campus. Regardless of which season it is, sitting by the water with your new duck friends is Hokie tradition.
The adorable couples that fill this area of campus will have even the most cynical of us murmuring “relationship goals” under our breath.
Even if you aren’t in a relationship, I always like to imagine that it’s the 1920s: I’m blinged out in a fabulous flapper while some grand music is playing in the background as I drop my iced coffee and four suave gentlemen scramble to get me a new one. To each their own.
Whether or not you’re a daydreamer like me, the Duck Pond is the perfect place to escape the world of academia for the peace and quiet of this enchanting wonderland.
