Staying At Purdue For Fall Break: A Timeline

Staying At Purdue For Fall Break: A Timeline

After planning a trip to college-hop and see some friends, I was informed that one of my interviews was scheduled for the Monday of fall break. Well, bye friends. Good thing I never booked Vegas. Here's a little timeline of break thus far.

Friday, 3:30 p.m. Done with class. Walk into house- "ROOMMATES I'LL MISS YOU." Oh, all of you already left. Must be nice to not have late classes on Friday. Guess I can take my pants off. Forget it, I'm just going to walk around naked.

4:30 p.m. Breakfast club tomorrow could be fun? Or I could just go to the bars now. Wait. I can't go to the bars alone.  Maybe I can text my one other friend that's here. Jk. Let's be honest, breakfast club is going to suck.

5:05 p.m. Hmm, YouTube Yoga sounds nice #getfit #getflexy.

5:25 p.m. That was great! Let's do another one. And 3 loads of laundry. And some dishes. And clean my room. And maybe my car, too. 

11:30 p.m. Definitely going to bed early. Alarm for 9:30 a.m.? Sounds great.

Saturday 9:30 a.m.  Hah. No.

11:30 a.m. I should probably get up, now.

Saturday, noon to 6 p.m. Update my resume. Buy groceries. Drive to Staples to get my resume printed because I don't own a printer. Build a terrarium? Sure, why not? Vacuuming sounds nice. Ya know what? I'm going to clean the vacuum, too. And the bathroom. This is just so great. Realize there's a random comma in my resume. Decide to deal with with later and meet friends at Harry's.

7:30 p.m. Walk to Harry's. Contemplate whether a zombie apocalypse like the one in Zombieland has occurred, or if West Lala is really just this empty. Harry's is surprisingly crowded, although the median age is somewhere around 53. Boiler Up, old dudes, Boiler Up.

10:30 p.m. Okay, this sucks. Going home.

Sunday, noon-5 p.m. How did I sleep in this late? Whatever. Guess I have to drive back to Staples. Why am I such a peasant? I need to pack for my interview. What are hard-soled shoes? Now, I have to drive back into Lafayette? Sick joke. Luckily, finding parking is the easiest thing ever. All my clothes are hideous. Let me pack my binder because you never know if you might decide to write a lab report. On second thought, maybe I should just leave that behind.

7 p.m. Leave for interview. I can't imagine what I would be doing for the next two days -- Monday and Tuesday -- if I was still staying at Purdue. I think I'd probably charge my roommates for the extreme maid service that would likely have occurred. To all of you who survived the ghost town that was West Lafayette, I respect your tenacity. To everyone who went home, glad you got to hang out with your true best friend, aka your dog. I miss mine even more, now. Thanks. To everyone in Vegas, I deleted you off Snapchat.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
