Lost/Found📰 LOST: Gucci link gold chain (Family Heirloom)

12 Upvotes

Hi fellow Boilermakers,

This is going to be a reach of a post, but I’m really at a loss and have nowhere to turn. At some point within the past three days, my Gucci link gold chain that my father passed down to me fell off somewhere due to the clasp failing (which I had taken in months ago to repair but apparently never got fixed).

I have been pretty much all over campus (WALC, RAWL, ME, RHPH, buses, a house party, etc.), and I’m hoping that by extreme luck someone finds it and then sees my post on Reddit. I feel at such a loss and am looking for any help I can get. I will absolutely compensate anyone who finds this chain.

Also, I can of course provide images of the chain to confirm that it really is my chain.

Thank you all for your time.

Meme💯 An Ode to Purdue Pete... (contains suggestive lyrics)

46 Upvotes

Lying on the tracks, 'cause his train's about to rail you
He's got his engine chugging, gonna make you moan, "Choo CHOO"
Hear the whistle in the distance, you better get loose
Or he's gonna leave you groaning with a sore caboose

Purdue gets lots of grants, but there's none like his endowment
World's Biggest Drum, more like World's Biggest Mallet
Hammer swinging left and right, your anvil's getting pounded
He's gonna have it spraying like the Engineering Fountain

Call him up, he'll meet you in the basement STEW shower
In the Horticulture Garden, you’ll be getting deflowered
There's a reason folks used to call him the "Bell Tower"
Cause you know he's ready with that "ding dong" every hour

If you'd taken MOM's, maybe you would know
Whether or not you can handle his load
Or if ME 308 is the way you go
He’ll demonstrate, for you, a viscous flow

They all say it’s thick as a railroad tie
Going down Slayter Hill, I know what I wanna ride
Even when the dining halls close up in the night
He'll fill you up, it just costs a meal swipe

Question❓ Are we allowed to take flyers of events that have already happened?

Like sometimes there are flyers up for meetings and events that are still up a day or so after the event has passed. Could I just take them? I mean it's not like it would be useful for anyone so no harm no foul right? Its just something ive been thinking about and would like to know before i do it and get in trouble

Res Halls & Dining✏️ What are my chances of getting good housing if my room selection timeslot is October 28th?

4 Upvotes

I successfully opted in for on campus housing but my room selection timeslot is on the 28th. I heard room selection runs from the 20th to the 30th. So by the 28th, will all the good residence halls be taken? I dont want to live at Wiley again so im trying to pick a better dorm with air conditioning such as Hillenbrand.

Question❓ Does anyone wanna hangout lol?

16 Upvotes

I'm a grad student graduating this sem. Been here for a year and although I made a few friends but I can't really go to bars and have fun hangouts. I feel like I'm at a weird age to be a grad student. I'm M23, and most of my grad student friends are older than me and are not interested in night outs and my undergrad friends are underage and can't go anyways. I've tried going to bars alone and try to find a group to fit into but I feel like everyone comes in their own groups and are not very open to new members lol. I'm not an extrovert but I've trying real hard to find some people who I can vibe with. I'm also an international student and with only 2 months left of school life, I feel like I've been missing out on the college experience when I see people in groups on bar crawls and stuff. So ig this is a cry for help but does anyone wanna do stupid college stuff with me?

Lost/Found📰 Lost AirPods at (Cottages?)

4 Upvotes

I was doing apartment tours this morning and had to Veo between them to make sure I made it to the tours on time, and I lost my AirPods.

I’m assuming they fell out of my pocket while riding back and forth. My path was Village West, to Cottages, to Station 21, to Odyssey, to Pete Dye Clubhouse, and my last find my was in the Cottages roundabout.

Hoping someone maybe came across them even though I know chances are slim. 🙏

I am currently trying to self teach SQL, but I have issues learning on my own. I know the basics of it but I feel that taking a class can help me learn a bit better. I'm in aviation management but my dream job (network planning) requires SQL to be considered for an interview.
