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!

De-stressing

As Finals Week draws nearer, you will see WSU students in an academic frenzy preparing for final exams and projects. Although it's tempting to bunker down in the library and not emerge until every assignment is finished, you need to remember that it's important to take a little time out of each day to relax and re-energize to keep from going crazy!

Here's some ideas that will make you feel more calm when it comes to tackling the end of the semester!

UREC Massage
Licensed Massage Practitioners are available at the Student Recreation Center to offer a variety of techniques to suit your needs. Massage Therapy is great for releasing chronic tension and pain in muscles, increasing flexibility in the muscles and joints, and reducing physical and mental fatigue. Students can book a 30 minute appointment for $32 and a 50 minute appointment for $48. Call 509-335-8732 or stop by the SRC Service Center.

Identity Salon
Located in the heart of downtown Pullman on Main Street, Identity Salon Day Spa is the area's premiere full-service salon. They offer a complete repertoire of hair services, natural nail services, skin care and waxing services and Massage Services. Call 509-332-2777 or drop in to 340 E. Main Street to book an appointment!

SEB film: The Smurfs
If you relax best by laughing, make sure you attend a showing of The Smurfs in CUB Auditorium this weekend. With the voice talents of Hank Azaria, Neil Patrick Harris, Sofia Vergara, Katy Perry, and more, the movie is sure to make you forget how stressed you are about that cumulative final. Students get in free with their ID and showtimes are 6pm and 9pm on Friday and Saturday, and 4pm and 7pm on Sunday.
