Show Your Mom the Town the Right Way!


Although it is my third, and final, year here at WSU, I still find myself wondering exactly what to do during the ever popular Mom’s Weekend. Being such a small town, Pullman turns into chaos with all of the extra people in town, and options for dining and entertainment seem near impossible. If you find yourself in a similar situation, and wonder what fun things you can do this upcoming weekend with your mom in town, I have a few ideas for you.

1) If you are new on campus, and your mom has had little to no time to explore the scene, defiantly make sure you take her on a campus tour. No, you don’t have to go around to all of the buildings and share boring information, but what I suggest is taking her on a walk through your daily schedule! I did this for my mom my freshman year, and she loved being able to see all of my classrooms and the buildings I am surrounded by every day.

2) Go on a walk. Pullman is a small town, with an authentic campus. Taking a stroll through Greek Row or Stadium Way is a nice way to enjoy conversation and also give your mom a look at the town you call home.

3) Travel out to Idaho and check out the Idaho Mall or downtown! We may be used to it by now, but to some people, such as our moms, it’s very fascinating that we live only minutes away from another state! After taking the short drive you can check out the mall and its shops, go to a great lunch or dinner, and even take a walk around downtown Idaho. It is a great way to pass time while also enjoying new scenery with your mother.

4) If you are looking for something fun to do in the later hours, take your mom to Stubble Fields! It may seem like a crazy idea, but you would be surprised how much your mom may enjoy being in the true college atmosphere. Plus, you will probably run into a lot of people you know and that way she can get to know some of your friends!

Of course there are many more options than just those to enjoy with your mothers, but it’s a great start to the weekend! Have a good time, be safe, and enjoy your mother’s company!
