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!

Don't get sick!

Lately, you can't sit through a class without hearing a chorus of coughing and sneezing. Getting sick can really put a damper on your weekend plans, so here's 5 tips to avoid the cold and flu so you can keep having fun!


1. Wash your hands! Those doorknobs in Todd host millions of germs.

2. Don't share drinking glasses. YES, that includes beer pong cups...

3. Sneeze into your upper arm, not on your hand (or on the person sitting in front of you in class!)

4. Disinfect shared surfaces often. Lysol is your friend. And wash that sinkfull of dishes while you're at it.

5. Maintain a healthy lifestyle. Get enough sleep, drink lots of water, eat your fruits and veggies, and exercise at the rec. A healthy Coug is a happy Coug!
