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.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
