May The Odds Be Ever In Your Favor

Greetings Aggies!

I am so excited for the next few weeks because it is Elections Week! My friend, Doug Fiefia is running for ASUSU President We've made several videos to invade social media like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram and now this blog to get his name out there. We even made a Harlem Shake video starring US! Some people were dressed up as Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, and Ariel from the Little Mermaid. 

                                                          (Doug is singing in the middle) 

We've been spray painting banners to put up all around Cache Valley with "Fiefia for President" and painted an A-frame with face cut outs of the beach so students can take pictures.

It was FREEZING as you can tell by Bryan's face. We painted over


It's been an amazing experience gathering hundreds of students together for one cause and for one goal: To better USU and make it available for students to voice their opinions.

Good luck to all the other candidates running for president:

Josue Carias
Luke Ensign
Hayden Smith 
Chaise Warr 

Check out their platforms at:

Stand up and Vote USU! 

I couldn't be more proud to be an Aggie right meow.

Hang Loose Brah



I probably stayed up for no longer then 5 seconds
Aloha Aggies!
Imagine sitting down and eating a nice, big, burrito after a long day; Smothered in cheese and salsa with a side of fresh pico de gallo and lettuce. Now imagine looking over and seeing a group of people in the room next to you making a fool out of themselves while trying to surf. I’m sure you’d lose your appetite if you were to see how terrible I was at surfing at FlowRider in Ogden. The FlowRider shoots up "sheets of waves" that pumps continuous water to the surface, enabling you to surf.


I thought it would be the similar to snowboarding but it's a lot harder than you think. But it's a good thing my pride hurts more than my neck from wiping out so many times. What was even worse was there was an older guy right next to us who was a heavier set that was just shredding it like it was his job. Can you believe that?! 

FlowRider was an awesome way to break our cabin fever from the winter weather outside. We went from surfing in bathing suits, to shaking down to our bones in scarves and boots. I absolutely love snow, but sometimes you just have to go surfing to keep yourself sane!

Much love,

Roller Rink!

My friends, Jessica, Alex, Haddie, and Abby!!

We tried roller skating but had to switch to blades instead! 


Hey future Aggies!

My friends and I went to the Cache Valley Fun Park this past weekend and went roller skating! Buckling up those roller blades brought back so many memories of when I was a kid and would roller blade everyday after school. We played tag around the rink, jumped over chairs, skated on our hands, and made a train!
Posing for the camera!
Jessica fell while trying to do a spin

My friend, Haddie, had the idea of racing across the rink; I was determined! We started at one end, and she counted down, "Ready...set....GO!" We bolted across and I started to gain speed but didn't think of how I was going to stop at the other end, so what's the next best thing to do? I ran straight into the wall and knocked the wind out of myself......But I think I won the race, SO it was all worth it.

With the wintery snow conditions outside still, we take full advantage of fun indoor activities to do while we're still young and in college! And the Fun Park is less than a mile away from campus and only 6 bucks! Those are enough reasons for me to go back and roller blade again and redeem myself for running into the wall.

Cheers!
