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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
