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!

Spring Break!

Many students look forward to Spring semester for one thing and one thing only-SPRING BREAK! As this will be approaching next semester, this is a great time to start talking up ideas to you parents (maybe as a Christmas present) or friends about where you might like to go.



The most popular spots for the partying Spring Breakers are typically within Mexico, such as Cabo, Cancun, you name it, or for those who do not wish to leave the US, Arizona or Hawaii are also popular spots. Oooorrrr for the 21+, VEGASSS! For some Cougs, this is a great chance to relax, for others, to party, and more many more, this is a great chance to give back.

Other opportunities are available through WSU if you are interested in taking a trip more directed in the community service aspect as well! See this website for other amazing opportunities! http://cce.wsu.edu/alternativespringbreak
