Grand Prix Week As Told By "The Office"

Little 500 was a cute warm up, but I'm talking about "The Greatest Spectacle In College Racing"

Grand Prix Week As Told By "The Office"
Purdue Grand Prix Foundation

So the week of "The Greatest Spectacle in College Racing" has taken off, and Purdue's campus is officially alive...until the terrible hangovers kick in. But fear not, trips to Tri-Chi, Den Pop runs and Excedrin will have you Boilermakers on your feet and ready to take on the full week of festivities. Regardless of the pulsating headache you may have, or the sunburn you didn't expect (the UV index is at an all time high for April, and no, we're not complaining), we must all face each day to make it one brick higher than the last. What better group of people to portray what every Boilermaker goes through during the week of Grand Prix than our dear friends at Dunder Mifflin Paper Company, Inc.?

1. Officially meeting your Grand Prix Buddy

2. Remembering you have an exam tomorrow.

3. When your teacher buys your vague and mostly inaccurate answer in class.


4. Trying to listen to a friend who has had 1 too many Baltimore Zoos.

5. ...After taking care of that friend.

6. For all of the lone soldiers getting 'talked' to by the cops.

7. When your hangover-recovering friends refuse to go to a function with you.

8. When your buddy invites you to darty after your last class of the day.

9. Getting shoved into a dancing circle that you have no business being involved in...in any way...at all...seriously get out of there.


10. Sleeping through all 17 alarms you had set.

11. One too many open tabs at Harry's later.

12. Reminiscing on the best week of the year and wondering how it passed so quickly.


Mom and Dad, I'm so sorry that I spent all of my tax return money on this week instead of investing in something meaningful. But these are the best four years of our lives, right? Until next year, Grand Prix.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
