12 Daily Victories Purdue Students Know Too Well

As you go through your day on our lovely campus, you’re sure to have one of these instances occur to you. These little happenings are the events that we, as Purdue students, thrive on. Whether you’re having a bad day or a good day, these are sure to turn it into a great day!

1. When the Sloop waits for you.

There’s no better feeling after running out your dorm hall towards the bus about to embark and the driver sees you hyperventilating and waits for you to get on.

2. A fountain run on a random hot day.

You know you wanted to do one, but didn’t want to start it.

3. When you make it to Krannert in ten minutes.

How? How did you do it? Show me your ways.

4. Finding a bench at the CoRec.

Because I really don’t like watching people work out when that’s what I’m there to do.

5. When the bus is full, but the driver says you can hop on.

Bus driver, you da real MVP.

6. Successfully climbing the steps to Lilly.

Nothings worse than slipping on the icy steps and eating shit. So when you trudge up the final step and plant yourself firmly at the top you know it’s going to be a good day.

7. Finding a room at Krach.

If I’m actually going to go study, I’d like to study in comfort.

8. Getting that perfect selfie with Neil.

You all know what I’m talking about.

9. Passing any Purdue math course.

No matter what it was we all know it was way harder than it needed to be.

10. Swiping into Wiley right before the line forms.

You are the dining court champion!

11. When the Black Loop is at the right place at the right time.

It’s your lucky day! Err.. well night.

12. Understanding your international Professor.

You guys rock for be able to teach in a non-native language!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
