Blog Description

Welcome to our blog! As seniors here at Washington State University, we've heard the same jokes about living in the Palouse...time and time again...

"So how much time do you spend in those wheatfields...?"

"No wonder you're all alcoholics...there's nothing to do in Pullman except drink..."

...and my personal favorite, a quote from Don James, retired University of Washington football coach: "Attending WAZZU is great preparation for real life. It teaches you not to expect too much."

WELL, while we have as good of a sense of humor as anyone, if not better, we beg to differ. There is plenty to do in Pullman, and we plan to prove it to you. From nightlife, to outdoor recreation, to campus events/involvement, and more, Pullman earned the nickname Pullmania for a reason.

Sure, drinking may be an (albeit large) part of that, but that's the case at most American college campuses. From our last three years in this incredible town, we've got lots of personal experience in finding more to do. In our last year here, we're dedicated to finding even more and sharing it with all of you, if for no other reason than giving you something to share with your parents when they worry about your weekend habits.

Please share this with your friends, and send us messages or comments with any suggestions or requests of things you'd like to see. We want everyone to enjoy Pullman as much as we do!

Animal Love

After a long day of classes and studying, can you think of anything better than snuggling up with a furry friend? Owning a dog or cat in college may be difficult though, as many landlords won't allow tenants to have pets or will charge extra to let you keep one.

So if you're an animal lover in need of some quality tail waggin', a great way to be around pets without owning one of your own is by volunteering at the local Whitman County Humane Society! They are always looking for volunteers to help at the shelter, and you can have the chance to truly make a difference in an animal's life. Who knows, you may fall in love with one and convince Mom and Dad to let you bring him or her home!

Check out the spotlighted animals below, and just try to say no to helping them!
