As every college student knows, dining court meals are only the best place on earth for a few weeks. Soon the free aspect starts to fall short to the repetitive choices and overcooked items.

They might be a far cry from the mystery meat found in most high school cafeterias, but after so many trips to “On the Go” a student needs a change. So here are five of the best places to eat on Purdue’s campus to help you get through the semester.

1. Pappy's Sweet Shop

Found in the Purdue Memorial Union, Pappy’s is home to just about anything you could ask for in a diner. Breakfast from pancakes to biscuits and gravy and everything else from burgers to freshly made milkshakes, anything your heart could desire is here right in the heart of campus. Add in the fact that Pappy’s was founded in 1927, and you’ve got yourself the perfect place to stop in for a meal. Purdue students can even use a meal swipe on a chosen menu after 4:30 on weekdays!

2. Harry’s Chocolate Shop

If you are 21 or older, stop by Harry’s if you’re in West Lafayette and you can go ugly early! Harry’s was originally a soda fountain shop in the early 1900’s. Later it was turned into a bar when competitors started popping up. However, the story and belief of many students and alumni is that Harry’s was a speakeasy. So, stop in for a drink, if you’re of legal drinking age or some free popcorn, and experience part of the West Lafayette tradition.

3. Triple XXX Family Restaurant

In the mood for some great rootbeer? Or maybe a burger is more your style? Either way, Triple XXX is the place to go. Featured on Diners, Drive-In’s, and Dives even Guy Fieri has to agree that this is a must-have when here in West Lafayette. Distinguishable by its bright orange and black striped outer walls, you cannot miss Triple XXX as you drive up State Street.

4. Au Bon Pain

If you find yourself studying in the Wilmeth Active Learning Center and need to recharge run into Au Bon Pain and grab something. They’ve got soup, sandwiches, and coffee, basically everything a college student needs to make it through exams.

5. The Union

The Purdue Memorial Union, as mentioned earlier is home to many different places to eat. If you can find a seat, the Union is hopping during lunch and dinner and has a variety of foods you and your friends can choose from to eat. Most places accept meal swiped after a certain time throughout the week, and others offer a student discount.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
