This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Purchase chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

The Purchase Black Out left students without access to the Internet, hot water, classes, and even meals. Without the ability to do homework or cuddle up with your laptop, many students opted for “No Power, No Rules” during the 18 hour time span without electricity. For full coverage on the black out, from students reactions to dining services’ losses, check out The Brick, which quickly did a wonderful job of catching the whole story. 

Christie is a sophomore journalism major at Purchase College in NY, but she’s a Jersey Girl at heart. When she isn’t studying (or being sarcastic), she spends her summers selling crafty jewelry on Long Beach Island and making coffee for her superiors at Parker and Partner’s Marketing Resources. She’s a sucker for debates, sushi, and a really good book. Her dream job (this week) would be at the Village Voice, but she’d be happy with a byline and paycheck. She hopes to make HerCampus bigger and better than ever at Purchase and is excited for the chance to work with these lovely HC ladies.
