Purdue Univeristy

I actually really liked the campus. I mean, I like Rhodes College's better, but Purdue's is pretty nice. The campus isn't all spread out like the one at Northwestern, which is a plus; The campus is a 'walking campus', which means you could walk to anywhere on campus. I guess most campus', if not all, are like that, but at Purdue, you can get anywhere on campus within ten minutes by walking.

The application requirements aren't that 'bad" (meaning they're not really high in my book), and they have a pretty good academic reputation.

There wasn't anything that really stood out to me, except their choice of mascot (Boilermakers). The school is nice, and I would rank it one spot below Northwestern, or at the same level.

School Preference List at the Moment:
  • Rhodes
  • Northwestern
  • Purdue

TWITTER!

Twitter is the coolest way to keep in touch with friends, family, and hundreds, probably thousands of institutions and places world-wide. For instance, you can 'follow': COSI, numerous news channels, Obama, many Hollywood stars, the list goes on! To get a better idea about what Twitter is, watch this awesome video on YouTube that does a great job at explaining it. I'll post the link at the bottom of this post. After watching it, you can go to the Twitter website and try it out! I'll also post that link. HAPPY TWEETING!

Another College Trip!

My mom, dad, and I will be leaving soon to go to Purdue. I went to the information session for the school earlier this year, but I am glad that I will be actually there on campus.

So, yeah. I'll be tweeting about it if you want to kind of be here along with me. Don't know what tweeting is? See my next post!

I GOT A JOB!

I'm going to be working at LoneStar, a steakhouse. I love that place! Now I'll be working there! IMy training begins on Monday; I'm so excited!

I'll be a hostess, but I will dabble in a bit of everything; busing tables, helping waiters and waitresses with the food, etc.
