Favorite Things: 18

Being a Coug! I spent 4 years at WSU and I am glad I did. I can't say I loved every moment but I appreciate what I learned and what my experiences there taught me. I always joked that Pullman was in a bubble and was its own little universe. Being at least an hour from a major city and surrounded by farmland that's not far from the truth. But that distance created an atmosphere concentrated on WSU and Cougar pride. I met some great people, had some great opportunities, and came home proud of my 4 years in college. Every time I see the WSU logo my heart beats a little faster and I am reminded of that small little town that changed my world. Many of you know I am married to a Husky (the major Cougar rival). This is not a problem however because he has no pride and I have enough for two. My children have never worn Husky clothing and they both own Cougar shirts. I joke with people not to waste their money on Husky souvenirs for my kids as they will just end up at Goodwill. I'm not actually joking.
