27 Thoughts Every Purdue Student Has During Exam Weeks

There is nothing worse than an exam week at Purdue University. Somehow, no matter what classes you are in, all of the exams and papers seem to magically align in the same week, at least once a semester. We all know the 2 a.m. caffeine induced coma of an exam week all too well, and some people, including myself, would rather lose an arm than have to go through it every exam week.

1. Okay, this week won't be too bad, I at least relatively understand most of the subject material in my classes.

Energy and optimism are high at the beginning of the week. I can probably pull this off.

2. I know nothing about anything.

...or not.

3. Boilercast is my actual best friend.

4. I shouldn't have missed so many Friday classes. I hate myself.

Thursday nights are so fun though...

5. I am just going to take a small break to create an ideal "Study Playlist"...

6. How is it already 1 a.m.?!

Small study break took 2 hours. Whoops.

7. How did I already go through 150 notecards?!

8. I have been studying all night and Istill don't know anything about anything.

9. I am so screwed.

10. I need cookies. Or pizza. Or both. Definitely both.

11. How much caffeine is too much?

12. Does the human body REALLY need sleep?

13. Thank goodness they drop one exam.

14. I am supposed to have read how many chapters?

That's just absolutely not happening.

15. I give up.

16. I am still so screwed.

17. Maybe I'll just go to sleep now and wake up early tomorrow and study...

Once I start telling myself this, I have already lost the battle.

18. I can't do this again tomorrow night.

19. Am I even awake right now?

I don't think I am conscious.

20. My brain feels fuzzy. I think I am losing vision!

21. Maybe college isn't for me.

22. Update: still screwed.

23. Thank god for Jimmy John's delivery until 3 a.m.

Y'all the real MVPs.

24. I need to stop spending so much money on study food...

25. Well, exam time. Here goes nothing.

26. That wasn't THAT bad...

27. I am not checking my grades until after Spring Break.

Ignorance is bliss.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

You can't just go to your room to take a nap in the middle of your classes.

Having to spend all your extra cash on gas for your car.

Speaking of money, you probably don't have a meal plan so you're forced to scrounge up some change or mooch off of your friends.

It can be harder to maintain the friendships you make with people from class.

Finding a parking spot.

It can be harder to be involved on campus because between your one, two, or three jobs and school you don't have much free time.

When you try to be super involved on campus, it can kill your sleep schedule.

It's impossible to do homework at home, but staying on campus isn't an option sometimes.

There are surveys and events that you can't participate in because you're a commuter.

Group projects are the bane of your existence.

Traffic.

Your backpack rivals that of a survivalist trekking in the woods.

Driving all the way to campus to find a note on the door of your classroom saying class was cancelled.

Because have you ever had to endure grilling your foot on a George Foreman?

1. When he just wanted bacon from his George Foreman grill

2. When he had money (and Jan) issues

3. When he got upstaged at Phyllis' wedding

4. When he unintentionally saved Meredith from rabies

5. When he wore a "bisexual" suit

6. When he had to apologize to Jesus

7. When his GPS drove him into a lake

8. When he had to deal with Ryan as his boss

9. When he couldn't fulfill his most generous empty promise

10. When this happened

11. When he struggled with a X-Mas break up

12. When he had to defend his generosity

13. When he threw a classy Christmas party for Holly but she had a boyfriend

14. When he had to stand up to peer pressure

15. When Toby was "Toby-ish"
