Welcome Home AGGIES!!! Homecoming Week!

Well, Homecoming is over. This week was a blast! Once again, fun activities going on every day of the week. I also got to see many of my old friends who have already graduated. Lots of Alumni were up here this week celebrating their roots! This week the activities ranged from a comedian to powder puff football. Some of my favorite activities were the Mr. USU pageant, and the Parade on Saturday Morning. Not even to mention the Awesome FOOTBALL GAME Saturday evening.

WHITE OUT!!! Homecoming Football Game

Mr. USU Contestants

I got to compete in the Mr. USU pageant this year. I was Mr. Business. Each college at Utah State, (all 8 of them), had a representative in the competition. We were judged on formal Western wear, an interview, swimwear and a talent. For my talent, to stay in touch with the western theme, I played a piano while sitting on a saddle thaI had placed onto  the piano bench. Some of the talents from the other guys were poetry, singing, and flipping from tables. It was a really fun competition to be involved in.

True Aggie Night!

Friday night we had our homecoming dance. lots of people came, and even more people showed up for True Aggie Night. Homcoming night is one of only TWO NIGHTS that anybody can kiss anybody on the "A" statue to become a true aggie. Usually you have to kiss an already true aggie to become a true aggie under a full moon. The line to kiss on the "A" was hundreds of people long. It was quite a sight. Good thing I am already a true aggie!

This semester has been a blast so far! I hope y'all have enjoyed experiencing it through my writing.

Taking Care of Business

Hey guys,

Here at USU, we have been celebrating Business Week. I am on the Business Council at the Huntsman School of Business here at Utah State and I spent the better part of my summer planning this week. There are about 20 of us on the Business Council and we have all been working our butts off! Now, since the week is over, we finally get a break. Here are some of the activities that we had.

 

 Monday, we had Dogs with the Dean. Dean Anderson, the Dean of the School of Business, served over 600 hotdogs to the student body.

 

Tuesday we had a huge service project for the Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City, Utah. We wrote over 2,200 hand written letters, made over 1,100 rice warming bags, and folder over 500 non wilting, paper flowers. over 1200 students volunteered their time. Tuesday night, we had an ugly tie dance. Lots of people came wearing ugly ties.

To cap off the week, we had a concert on Old Main Hill on Friday night. I had the awesome opportunity of emceeing the concert. It was an absolute blast. We had 2 awesome acts. The first was Profetik, a band involving several students from here at USU. They opened for Recycled Percussion. Recycled Percussion gave an AWESOME show. They play a nightly show on the strip in Las Vegas and they were able to switch some things around to come up and perform for us right here in Logan, UT. Thousands of people came, the crowd filled Old Main Hill all the way to the top. And for those of you who don’t know, Old Main Hill is HUGE! I had such a fun time getting to know the guys in Recycled Percussion and watching them perform. It was the perfect capstone event to an awesome week!

 

I got most of the events on video and they should be up on the website soon. I can't wait for all of you to experience this week. It's been such a blast!

 

Till next time everyone.

 

Winning Team!!!

I believe that we DID win! I believe that we DID win! I believe that WE DID WIN!

Hello All! Steve here, writing all of my adventures after a wicked sweet weekend up here in Logan. We have been making it big up here with our latest football game. For those of you who are living under a rock, we beat one of our rivals, the University of Utah, in overtime. IT WAS EPIC!!! I lost my voice from yelling, and I had a huge headache from being in such a loud environment, but I wouldn't have changed a thing! Storming the field after a victory that was so well deserved produced a feeling that is hard to explain. Our football program is definitely up and coming and getting better and better every year.

Most of this week was spent catching up on homework for me. With the Week of Welcome last week and Business week next week, this week was the only week that I had time to really get ahead in my homework. I spent many hours in the HUB, one of the food courts on campus, eating and studying with my friends. I love to study in the HUB because I always run into a friend or two that I can catch up with. There are so many great people to get to know on campus!

Until next time, as they say here in USU athletics, BELIEVE IT!

WOW! Week of Welcome at Utah State

What’s up Guys! Steve here, writing again about all of my awesome adventures here at
Utah State. What a week! One week of classes have come and gone. Some parts fly by and some parts… well, didn’t fly by. There is lots of stress to be had during the first week of school, but here at Utah State there are so many activities going on to ease your mind. All week long there was music being played on the patio of the student center. I had a blast in-between classes listening to all of my talented friends and meeting new talented friends all at the same time.



80's dance -- EPIC

There were also tons of other things going on. Old Main hill was turned into the most gigantic theater that I have ever seen when they set up a HUGE blow up screen and played “The Avengers.” Hundreds of students showed up to that. Hundreds of students also attended the annual 80’s dance. Everybody dressed up in their best 80’s getup and danced to basically the greatest music of all time! It made me sad that I wasn’t born until the 90’s. I feel like I missed out on a great era!



Me and some friends at the game

Probably my favorite event of the week was our opening football game against Southern Utah University, we won by a ton! I had a blast watching the game with my friends and showing my school spirit by cheering with the entire student body! It was a good reminder as to why ESPN always ranks our student section as one of the top in the nation!

Life is Good! And once again Utah State welcomed back its students with a bang!

Till next time guys, live it up!
