After reading the article, "Our Blood Runs Crimson", by our lovely Kristen Fischer last week, I figured I'd show a different take on being a Coug!

So here are some ways that you can spot one of us die-hard Cougs. Or if you are one, here are some things were all guilty of...

1. You call Pullman "The Promise land".

2. You have more date dash shirts than actual clothes. 

3. You consider Thursday night to be part of the weekend (or for some of us, it starts on Wino/Wings Wednesday).

4. You take a picture or Snapchat of the "Go Cougs" barn every time you drive past it.

5. You yell "GO COUGS" at anyone you see wearing any Coug gear... or Huskies... or for no reason at all. 

6. You still wear next-to-nothing, even if there's snow on the ground.

7. Every time you see a Coug license plate or sticker, you point it out to everyone in the car. 

8. You have a special section in your closet or drawers for your exchange costumes... unless you're a guy, then you just turn your regular clothes into makeshift outfits (you aren't foolin' us).

9. You consider watching people slip on ice on the mall as a favorite past time of yours.

10. You go to the dunes to make sun-filled memories with your friends...only to remember nothing.

11. You've taken Dirty 230 just to laugh your a** off/get an easy A. 

12. You consider Cougar Football Saturdays heaven on earth.

13. You've been called a SHACKER.  

14. You've walked to the rec and pushed the crosswalk button a thousand times, just to hear the "WAIT" voice. 

15. You've harassed freshmen to use their RDA, or have been the harassed freshman. 

16. You go to Cabo for Spring Break (it's a must). 

17. You've done unforgivable things in Holland Terrell Library. 

18. Blue Powerade from Mcdonalds is your life-savior. 

19. You campaign to get asked on Monopoly, any camp trip, Canada Trip, or any of the other infamous date dashes. 

20. Going to programming is like going into the chokey, unless its sexual wellness of course. 

21. Your PC page is filled with embarrassing pictures, videos, and some occasional uplifting posts.

22. You've seen a Lambda in Chubbies or Sperrys. 

23. You hate your advisor and have them on speed dial. 

24. You can't sleep because the neighboring frat is blasting music till 4 a.m. 

25. Monarch is a house hold name. 

26. Mom's and Dad's weekends are the best weekends of the year. 

27. Dominos... 'nough said. 

28. Apple Cup is like a holiday in itself, and that 31-28 win two years ago is unforgettable. 

29. You make the trek to Mike's for your 21 run...or try. 

30. Lastly, you dread leaving our perfect little town and count down the days till we return.  

                                                                            GO COUGS!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
