This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Purdue chapter.

It was a beautiful day in West Lafayette, and what better way to spend it than by knocking off some items from the “Old Oaken Bucket” list! Two of us from the Her Campus Purdue team broke from the books and hit campus, seeing just how many items we could accomplish in an hour. We had tons of fun and encourage you to follow suit! Before the year is over and the opportunity has passed, do as many uniquely Purdue things as possible. We’re only here for so long, so make the most of it! 

#1. Fountain Run (of sorts…)

#2. Den Pop

#6. Harry’s Popcorn

#7. Picture Time under the Arch

#8. The Bell Tower
