If you’ve already scheduled your classes for this spring, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about. If you haven’t, you’ll understand real quick. MyPurdue… That dreaded phrase makes some of us cringe.

MyPurdue is the new way Boilermakers are to schedule their classes, or just temporarily ruin their lives. Case and point: I was set to schedule at 7pm Monday evening. I was checking up throughout the day to see how my classes were filling up, no big deal I thought. At 6:45pm almost all my chosen sections (and sometimes classes) were full! I couldn’t get into half the classes I needed to be in!

This frustrating situation seemed to be frequent throughout many students. What was so bad about going in and talking to our advisor about our classes then having them schedule for us?! Many would agree this program, which is ‘supposed’ to make our lives easier has taken us into a nightmare with no end in sight.

All that can be said at this point is best of luck freshmen and those of you that forgot to schedule during your 1-2 day scheduling window. Next month might be rough for you!
