Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown recently revealed she is enrolled for online classes at Purdue University.

Amusing, because it seems she's moved from her star-making role as Eleven in the hit show Stranger Things, which takes place partly in Indiana, to go to college in...Indiana? The show even has an explicit nod to Purdue with a character wearing the university's shirt.


Brown is majoring in Human Services, which she defines in her interview with Allure as where “you learn about the system and how to help young people.”

Reactions were generally supportive, if a bit flummoxed why a British star was studying at Purdue in the United States instead of at a prestigious school in Britain.

She's quickly overtaking Purdue's previous most famous alum, astronaut Neil Armstrong.

Some people commented this was her returning to Indiana, the first time being as her character in Stranger Things.

Several current students and alumni alike from Purdue also commented.







Some clearly have their Twitter feeds tuned to news of Purdue—or follow a lot of former classmates—as they seemed a bit fed up with the news.


No matter the reaction, the general agreement is Brown's choice of school, though unexpected, can only be a good thing.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
