It’s so over. Almost guaranteed I got between a 0% and a 30%

Just kidding. This whole thing is an expensive marketing exercise so Purdue Brand Studio can boost their "earned media" numbers. They don't really care if they find the actual plane or not. (And they won't - it's most likely just a dead tree.) The real value here is getting sponsorships, increased donations, and seeing Purdue's name plastered everywhere.

🚨🚨SHELTER PET SPOTLIGHT🚨🚨
🐾 meet Petunia 🐾

Petunia is a cutie 🥰 She needs a forever!

Petunia is a pretty gray and white with a unique look of eyeliner on one eye only. She has a tipped ear due to being caught as an alley baby, but it just adds to her charm and shows she’s a survivor. ❤️

She is fixed, UTD on shots, combo tested, microchipped, and fecal tested.

Petunia will need a playful friend in the home so she can be adopted with another kitten or into a home with one already.

She is playful, attention seeking, sweet, calm, and loving. She doesn’t seem to run off but does like to get curious and explore a bit.

Kids 👧🏻 ok
Cats 🐱 yes!
Dogs 🐶 maybe friendly ones

Adoption fee is $75 or $120 for the pair of kittens and goes right back to our program.

(RIGHT NOW ITS ONLY $25 TO ENCOURAGE ADOPTIONS AS THIS RESCUE IS WORKING HARD ON A SICK FERAL COLONY AND NEEDS SPACE TO FIND MORE KITTIES HOME AND MAKE THEM HEALTHY AGAIN!)

PLEASE DM ME FOR HER APP/RESCUE EMAIL

Hi! This is a last resort and I have nowhere else I could ask. If anyone found an iPad Pro 12.9” with Magic Keyboard and an Apple Pencil with the name Rachel engraved on it charging in WALC2086 last Thursday 7:20PM and afterwards, please let me know. I forgot it there and have looked literally everywhere I possible could. Nobody reported it anywhere so the other option is that someone took it. Please let me know if anyone finds it, this is so important. My mom has cancer and our money goes into her chemotherapy, we can’t afford a new iPad. Here’s a pic of it where I left it.

What is going on with Harrison Grill? Why is it that every time I go there, there is either one type of boba or none at all. I feel so bad for the workers who either have to tell 1000 people in one night that there is only one kind of boba or they have to cover the menu. Employees pls tell us if you know the secret of the no boba. Is it shipment issues?

Idk what happened but my computer sounds like a toy race car. I've inspected it and I think its definitely a fan problem

i have housing accommodations (medically needed) and long story short, my roommate is not following them simply because he doesnt want to. i have tried bargaining/compramising with him several times however he refuses to listen. his actions have limited my capabilities since they go directly against my medical condition. i want someone to be honest with me and tell me what my next steps could be and/or how can i kick him out or whether i would need to move and how would that look like. thank you for any advice/information you can give me

Anyone who went to the calc exam around 8PM find/take any AirPods? $10 reward😭 !!

Ok so ever since I moved in before bgr, I've had a stream of bad luck that doesn't seem very coincidental anymore.

During bgr: crash my bike and had to pay $150 to replace the rear wheel, and my debit card was stolen, and my dad lost the key to the safe my college money (for supplies and emergencies) was in

2 weeks later: get bedriddenly sick, like as sick as sick can get, and I'm still coughing up mucus

Same week: computer charger breaks. Ordered a replacement and it was dead on arrival. Had to bike to Walmart. Do not bike to Walmart. Oh and I missed a test bc my computer was dead

Right after: lose my room key

After that: rejected by 3 robotics team bc im not "techy" enough

Then failed social interaction after failed social interaction. Zero friends

Midterms: failed or narely passed every single one of my midterms

Last week: I RAN SOMEONE OVER AND BROKE MY FUCKING BIKE AGAIN

Now: computer is somehow broken even tho it worked completely fine when I was doing homework earlier. Now the fan sounds like a fucking rc race car. Next year's registration is on hold bc my respect boundaries module never went through and I guess im failing another test since my computer is broken

I say "life is like a concave graph. the lowest lows are followed by the highest highs" BUT IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING AND I CAN'T FUCKING TAKE IT ANYMORE. I don't know what to do and all I can do rn is cry

Anyway, best place to get a Lenovo ideapad it's fan looked at and fixed ASAP on or by campus?

As a sophomore in CS here at Purdue, yes there are better schools out there. That is an objective thing, but there are many more worse places to be. I am very annoyed at the many (I can only rant on CS majors cuz i spend most days with them, but im sure others do this too) people that think even after 3 semesters, they should use every speaking opportunity to lament the fact they go to Purdue and not Stanford, MIT, Cal, GaTech, or whatever.

Literally every day you will hear "Oh that kid at ['better' uni] got a cool internship, this bum school in the middle of nowhere is my downfall" or "I'm only here cuz I didn't get in anyplace else". "West lafayette is a dead place", "professors here have no clue what they are doing", "the local community college back home would've been better", "this school is for all the CS rejects".

I can expect to hear this maybe from kids in their 2nd sem when they're reflecting or going through a tough patch. But jesus y'all are in you 3/4th sem and still bash the school you attend every single day. At some point, you have to stop mourning the college you didn't attend and start making the most of the one you did. So what if you didn't get into a top 5 school of all time, you chose to come here. You knew you were coming to West Laf. I'm not saying spread lies like "MIT wishes it was Purdue" or smth, but stop bashing Purdue every day. Please. Learn to appreciate this opportunity or pack your bags and transfer. Crying about all of this now will literally just worsen your mental health. So be content and proud you go here, there are a lot of worse places.

U.S. News has Purdue at #16 for CS undergrad (#7 among public schools).
CS rankings has us #13 ahead of UT Austin and Columbia.

(rankings don't mean much, just giving some perspective)

And yes Purdue CS has its share of issues, but I don't think they're that deep to which most undergrads hate their own program.

So just please make your mental health better by showing appreciation and gratitude that a very very fine university accepted your application.

Boiler Up!

Hey all, I’m a male with a guaranteed single in Hawkins, and I’m looking for someone with an Oct 20 housing selection time slot who wants a Hawkins single. My friend and I want to room together in Hilltop, but our time slots are far apart, so we’re trying to line up a swap.

If you’re willing to select my friend’s room during your Oct 20 slot, I’m happy to work out a swap with you so you end up with the Hawkins single. DM me for details.

Is there any group to exercise together ?

(According to UChicago student newspaper)

Hi, I am planning to T2M into EE and I plan to take MA265, CS159, ECE2k1 + 2k7, the semiconductors seminar class, and VIP (Stars CD - SoCET) so 12 credit hours. Will this be a reasonable workload? (i know a lot of these classes are hard/time consuming but its only 12 credit hours)

engineering internships are scattered across hundreds of career pages, so i pulled them into free lists straight from companies' own job boards. 41 are in indiana right now.

posting date on every row, rebuilt every monday.

comment which field you're looking for and i'll send you a list for it.

I’d like to play Hytale with my fellow Boilermakers, but I wanna know how much demand there is before actually committing any time or resources to it. Maybe we can even make Purdue mods for the server since making a modded server is way easier in Hytale.

i was wondering if taking CS381 in the spring or fall would have a difference in difficulty or professors.. i have the option to choose right now and need help deciding

blehe

What the FUCK was that
