51 Things I Would Rather Do Than Attend Purdue
Admissions.Indiana

As an avid fan and student at IU, myself, as well as 40,000 other Hoosiers, have a strong hatred towards the other B1G school in the state of Indiana. We don’t want to hear any more about your engineering school and what even is a boilermaker? In fact, I can think of at least 51 things I would rather do than go to school in West Lafayette. Here are just a few of them. Boiler Down.

  1. Step on 12 Legos
  2. Put on a damp swim suit
  3. Burn my tongue on hot chocolate
  4. Eat only salad the rest of my life
  5. Have my belly button ring ripped out
  6. Drink orange juice after brushing my teeth
  7. Stub all 10 of my toes
  8. Take an ice-cold shower with low water pressure
  9. Listen to nails being scraped on a chalkboard
  10. Watch Derek Shepherd’s death scene on repeat
  11. Get stuck in an elevator with my ex-boyfriend
  12. Find a hair in my Subway sandwich
  13. Drink spoiled milk
  14. Never eat Portillo’s again
  15. Fall on my face in front of my crush
  16. Break both of my arms
  17. Grow a unibrow
  18. Lose both of my two front teeth
  19. Only wear the color orange for the rest of my life
  20. Run out of toilet paper every time I went to the bathroom
  21. Hit my ankle with a razor scooter
  22. Get sunburn on my entire body, including my eyelids
  23. Be a Packer fan
  24. Retake finite math
  25. Never take a nap again the rest of my life
  26. Sleep with sand in my sheets
  27. Gain 400 pounds
  28. Eat pineapples on my pizza
  29. Have a 10-hour plane ride in between a crying baby and someone sleeping on my shoulder
  30. Get bitten by a shark
  31. Listen to “Gangnam Style” for 24 hours straight
  32. Eat a gallon of mustard
  33. Get my tongue stuck to a flagpole
  34. Get sneezed on by an old man
  35. Have permanent bad breath
  36. Dye my hair neon green
  37. Take a punch in the face from Mike Tyson
  38. Get stung by 56 bees at once
  39. Read the entire dictionary word for word
  40. Never be able to watch Netflix again
  41. Step on broken glass
  42. Trip on a treadmill
  43. Make every day a bad hair day
  44. Spill red wine on my wedding dress
  45. Swallow a worm
  46. Get lost in a foreign country
  47. Sleep on my front lawn in the pouring rain
  48. Get a flat tire on the highway
  49. Eat the insides of a pumpkin
  50. Work for hours on a paper due at 11:59 and have it deleted at 11:58
  51. Not go away to school

Needless to say, I would be willing to do a lot of things but none of those things consist of attending Purdue. Let’s go Hooooosiers!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
