Utah State = THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH

Perhaps you thought that was Disneyland... Don't worry, it's a common misconception. Just come visit Cache for one day - we'll show you that USU is the true mecca for happiness. Space Mountain and the Matterhorn don't hold a candle to Old Main Hill and Romney Stadium.

What's so great about USU, you ask? Allow me to explain:
Meet Matt Meaker. We became friends with Matt through an Aggie service club called Best Buddies. The purpose of Best Buddies is to pair students up with people in the community who have disabilities. We've been paired with Matt for over 2 years now and we can honestly say he is our best bud!

Best buddies is just one in a plethora of ways to gain service and leadership experience at USU - that's what makes this place so magical! As a matter of fact, Utah State practically wrote the book on  providing students with excellent involvement opportunities. Cait and I agree that some of the most important pieces of knowledge that we have gained during our college experiences have come from outside the classroom: in team leadership and service settings.

We've gotten ourselves involved through:

• Student Government (ASUSU)
• Freshmen Orientation (A-Team)
• Freshmen Recruitment (Ambassadors, BlueCrew)
• Undergraduate Research 
• Service (Best Buddies)

And this is just scratching the surface! 

If you're looking to make a difference in the world... If you're looking to unveil the greatness within yourself... If you're looking to dare mighty things... Look no further than UTAH STATE!

Logan: Adventure Capital of Utah

Whoa whoa... I know what you're thinking, "A blog from a married couple about college life? How boring". Perhaps you are right to think that, but give us a chance to break the stereotype that ALL married couples are boring. In fact Tuck and I want to prove that we can do more in life then have "game nights" on the weekends, go to bed early, and watch the old seasons of Grey's Anatomy on Netflix. 

That's right, whether you are married, single, or neither... I am positive that we can show you how to have a good time in Logan, Utah. This past summer our main focus wasn't school, wasn't work, but was something we like to call outdoor adventures. Fortunately Logan is geographically located right next to plenty of lakes, rivers, and canals, plus a full mountain range just waiting to be explored. Here's just a few of the adventures that Tuck and I went on this summer in or around Logan

• Backpacked up to White Pine Lake
• Cliff jumped at Porcupine Dam
• Fished at Tony Grove
• Rock climbed a few of the 100's of climbs in Logan canyon
• White water rafted in Jackson Wyoming (only a few hours from Logan)
• Off-roading in the mud on the way to Old Ephraim's grave
• Paintballed at Bear Lake
• Backpacked the Wind River Mountains (also a few hours from Logan)
• Etc. etc. etc.!

Need I say more? Logan is packed with a plethora of opportunities to explore, adventure and become one with nature. Welcome to Utah State. Welcome to Logan. Welcome to the LIFE.
