Your Aggie adventure is out there!

It’s been a little over a month since students at Utah State University finished the Spring 2016 semester and began their long-awaited summer vacation. In Logan, there’s nothing better than the feeling of summer after a long winter and three or four pretend springs.

With either no classes or only a few summer courses and the great outdoors just down the street, we’ve been asking our fellow Aggies to tell us what’s on their adventure list to help us create our own Aggie Bucket List, here’s what we’ve come up with a few of my own suggestions.

  • Midnight hikes to the Windcaves. May I suggest a headlamp and maybe a sunrise hike?
  • Raspberry shakes at Bear Lake. It’s less than an hour away; you could go every day!
  • Attend the July Car Show. If none of them are Transformers, I’ll be disappointed.
  • Breakfast at Herm’s. The Parisien, that’s all I have to say.
  • Eat at the Bluebird. I’m so happy so many people have food trips on this list.
  • Go to the Cache Valley Fair and Rodeo in August.
  • Take the plunge at First Dam. This has a lot of possibilities.
  • See the Martin Harris Pageant in Clarkson. Want to write a review on it for the Statesman?
  • Clean the sink at Angie’s.

Now, I have to pause here because anytime someone talks about that darn sink, I get sick. Been there done that. I have to say it was the worst experience I’ve had in Logan. Take a lot of people, that’s my advice.

Back to our list:

  • Do a tour of the local Farmer’s Markets. So many fruity possibilities.
  • Find the Tardis hidden in the Valley. Good luck Whovian.
  • Go to a Salt Lake Bee’s Game.
  • Kiss a girl. Worthy goals my friend.
  • Kiss on the Kiss Cam. I think you might want to find the person who listed the last two.
  • Get Aggie Ice Cream. A scoop of Aggie Blue Mint is perfect for those hot afternoons.
  • Find free apples from random trees and make an apple pie. I’ll be waiting for my slice in the Statesman office.

Even if you’re working or taking summer classes during these beautiful months, take some time to get out and have some fun. If you’re stuck looking for something to do, grab a couple friends or a date and try out a couple of these Aggie Bucket List suggestions. What else are you planning this summer? Let us know below in the comments.

 

Richard will be spending his summer hiking, eating ice cream and trying to make some money.
