MAKING AN IMPACT, MAKING A CHANGE.

Hola mis queridos AGGIES!

These past few weeks have been full with so many different things! It has been hectic with USU/SA elections going on, but as of yesterday they have come to an end! There were A-Frames all over campus and it became apparent that we had some people that without a doubt, showed how passionate they are for our university! We had some incredible candidates this year running for various positions and it was so cool listening to every individual's ideas for office next year!  Here are some my favorite moments from the week!

Next, we had HLC (Hispanic Leadership Conference)!!! One of my most favorite events on campus for sure! I LOVE events like this! This event hits so close to home and it is seriously so inspirational seeing all of the different talent and passion Hispanic high school students from Idaho and Utah have about pursuing a higher education. I learned so much from my group members and can't wait to see the amazing things they will accomplish as college students after graduating high school. Coming from a first generation background, similar to many of the students present at the conference, I was able to have so much in common and share life changing stories that I will forever cherish. Thank you to everyone for coming and making this day such a success. Shout out to my group leader Anapesi and group black! Hope to see you all here pretty soon! Recuerden que Unimos Venceremos, Together We Will Overcome!

GIMME SOME OF THAT SNOW!

HEY HEY HEY AGGIES! IT'S BEEN A LITTLE BIT! 

FIRST OF ALL, I need to tell you about one of the most exciting basketball games I have EVER been to here at USU! Not too long ago, we had a WHITE OUT GAME against SDSU and it was CRAZY!!! We tied with 2 seconds left and had to go into 5 minute overtime! Unfortunately we didn't end up pulling off the win, but the feeling of being in the spectrum full of Aggies is unbeatable. 




And can you believe all this snow in February?! CRAY CRAY! But with that comes benefits... any guesses as to what I did this weekend??? SLEDDING DOWN OLD MAIN HILL! Seriously one of the funnest things to do at USU during the winter time! The adrenaline rush you get from riding down a super steep slope is indescribable. Who needs a far drive to a ski resort, when you have Old Main right on campus, a great group of friends, fresh powder snow, and some slick sleds to have a grand time?! 



FUN IN THE SNOW WITH MY BEST BUDS!
