Staying At Purdue For Fall Break: A Timeline

Staying At Purdue For Fall Break: A Timeline

After planning a trip to college-hop and see some friends, I was informed that one of my interviews was scheduled for the Monday of fall break. Well, bye friends. Good thing I never booked Vegas. Here's a little timeline of break thus far.

Friday, 3:30 p.m. Done with class. Walk into house- "ROOMMATES I'LL MISS YOU." Oh, all of you already left. Must be nice to not have late classes on Friday. Guess I can take my pants off. Forget it, I'm just going to walk around naked.

4:30 p.m. Breakfast club tomorrow could be fun? Or I could just go to the bars now. Wait. I can't go to the bars alone.  Maybe I can text my one other friend that's here. Jk. Let's be honest, breakfast club is going to suck.

5:05 p.m. Hmm, YouTube Yoga sounds nice #getfit #getflexy.

5:25 p.m. That was great! Let's do another one. And 3 loads of laundry. And some dishes. And clean my room. And maybe my car, too. 

11:30 p.m. Definitely going to bed early. Alarm for 9:30 a.m.? Sounds great.

Saturday 9:30 a.m.  Hah. No.

11:30 a.m. I should probably get up, now.

Saturday, noon to 6 p.m. Update my resume. Buy groceries. Drive to Staples to get my resume printed because I don't own a printer. Build a terrarium? Sure, why not? Vacuuming sounds nice. Ya know what? I'm going to clean the vacuum, too. And the bathroom. This is just so great. Realize there's a random comma in my resume. Decide to deal with with later and meet friends at Harry's.

7:30 p.m. Walk to Harry's. Contemplate whether a zombie apocalypse like the one in Zombieland has occurred, or if West Lala is really just this empty. Harry's is surprisingly crowded, although the median age is somewhere around 53. Boiler Up, old dudes, Boiler Up.

10:30 p.m. Okay, this sucks. Going home.

Sunday, noon-5 p.m. How did I sleep in this late? Whatever. Guess I have to drive back to Staples. Why am I such a peasant? I need to pack for my interview. What are hard-soled shoes? Now, I have to drive back into Lafayette? Sick joke. Luckily, finding parking is the easiest thing ever. All my clothes are hideous. Let me pack my binder because you never know if you might decide to write a lab report. On second thought, maybe I should just leave that behind.

7 p.m. Leave for interview. I can't imagine what I would be doing for the next two days -- Monday and Tuesday -- if I was still staying at Purdue. I think I'd probably charge my roommates for the extreme maid service that would likely have occurred. To all of you who survived the ghost town that was West Lafayette, I respect your tenacity. To everyone who went home, glad you got to hang out with your true best friend, aka your dog. I miss mine even more, now. Thanks. To everyone in Vegas, I deleted you off Snapchat.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
