Pullman Winters Are Wickedly Beautiful

Something we Cougs all have in common, we love to hate winter in Pullman.

You are truly and wickedly beautiful. Coming from California, I didn’t know what to expect from my very first Pullman winter last year. To be honest, it was brutal. I thought that I was living in Antarctica and not Pullman, Washington. But now, as the grass and trees are starting to frost, snow is falling down, winter is definitely coming, and I’m a bit nervous.

At first, the snow is exciting and beautiful. But then you’d have to walk out and still attend class even though it was a complete blizzard outside. The way the cold completely takes away all the feeling in your nose and hands is a feeling I never want to remember. Not to mention if it's cold enough, how your entire body goes numb.

I truly love playing the game of whether the puddle on the sidewalk is just water or a deadly trap where I will slip and fall to my death. Unfortunately, Washington State University is insanely hilly (why we all have cougar calves), so this makes for a risky walk to class when you have no clue if the steep hill you are about to walk down is just wet or icy.

Pullman winter, thank you for the incredibly freezing fog that just spontaneously appears on my way home from class. It definitely makes me feel like I’m in a horror movie. But, thanks to you, my hair is always looking nice. Who needs hairspray when your hair is frozen in place?

Thank you for making my life truly difficult, there's nothing like running late but your entire car is covered in ice. This is quite the struggle because not only are you trying to rush and scrape the ice off but you are also freezing your butt off while doing it.

I guess the best thing about you is the excuse that I need to eat just a little bit more to get that extra layer of warmth. Definitely, catch me eating two cookies at lunch instead of one because you know, I gotta stay warm.

Ultimately, Pullman winter, you're the prettiest thing I have ever seen, but you are also my biggest fear.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
