A couple weeks ago, on April 10th, myself and about 50 other students helped put on the 25th Annual Mom’s Weekend Luau at WSU. Here’s what our room looked like about halfway through our early morning preparations:

Today was pretty interesting. I went over a test in class, grabbed a letter of recommendation from a counselor, turned in a study abroad application, mailed out transcripts, grabbed a free PB&J sandwich provided by ASWSU, played my friend a couple of games of NBA Live (went 1-1), learned some Chinese and helped train a new batch of Cougar Connectors. All in all, a pretty typical, but busy day. Except for one little unique moment.

* – but so is every other university in this nation, and this is one category where perceived reputation has surpassed reality.
Short version: Every school will have parties where alcohol may be present. WSU is a dry school, and serve consequences await those who violate this policy. As a current student, I can confidently state that the small amount of partying which occurs in situations unaffiliated with the university is negligible and easily avoided – students have to go looking for the parties to find them.

Welcome to my blog! I’ll be blogging about my experiences at or related to WSU. There’s a lot that happens here, and I certainly won’t be able to cover everything that happens in the 509, however hard I try. I’ll be able to cover multicultural events, intramural sports, Cougar Connector activities, Student Computing Services and various other aspects of Wazzu. But for even more coverage, don’t forget to check out the blogs of my friends and peers!
Look out for pictures, video and interactive features in the near future. If there’s anything you’d like for me to cover, let me know in the comments below!
Oh, and if you want to get in touch, I’m a click away!
