Who AM I?

After living in 10 cities and having over 15 part-time jobs over the past 21 years of my life, I have turned into a unique being with experiences leaving me with a thirst for more.

I love travel, culture, and adventure along with meeting new people and learning new things.

Some may see me as one of those been there, done that, kind of guys. But I like to see myself as always looking for more, because I know the tunnel never ends.

Beating The Flu This Fall

Flu season is right around the corner, that is, unless you already have the symptoms. "In the U.S., an estimated 25–50 million cases of the flu are currently reported each year — leading to 150,000 hospitalizations and 30,000–40,000 deaths yearly" stated at Flufacts.com

Getting the flu is not fun, that's why its good to know how to prevent the virus.
One way to help prevent from getting the flu is by keeping clean. Washing of the hands is the best natural defense against the virus. Many people get the flu through shaking hands or touching objects. Also, the flu can easily be spread through sharing drinks. Aside from trying the sanitary defense, getting the flu shot can prevent from the getting the virus.


How do you know if you have the virus? A few symptoms of the virus include: fever, chills, diarrhea, or aches.

After realizing you may have one of these symptoms, taking antivirials is the best way to treat the virus. Antivirals are prescription medications that actively attack the flu virus and stop it from spreading to the rest of your body. Antivirials are FDA approved medications to fight the influenza virus.

Even though autumn is argumentatively one of the best seasons of the year, getting the flu can make autumn miserable.

USU Football at Risk of Dropping to DI-AA

Utah State football might drop to DI-AA if attendance at home games do not reach 15,000. Under the NCAA rules , all DI-A schools must average 15,000 in home game attendance once in a rolling two-year period or they will drop to DI-AA.

USU is among several universities that could lose their DI-A status. This is a problem because dropping to a smaller division means having to play smaller schools farther away and the university would lose money on smaller games.

Not reaching the 15,000 quota might affect USU football in other ways as well. Kent Stanley, the associate athletic director of USU said, “With the attendance figure being relatively new I don't know of anyone being penalized besides becoming bowl ineligible which could happen if you miss your numbers on consecutive years."

At topix.com many students and patrons of the sport post ideas of ways to increase the attendance at games. ASUSU Athletics VP, Lance Brown has been thinking of ways to increase attendance at USU football games. “We put on fun and exciting tail gate parties to get people out and to the games as well as giving away scholarships at the game,” said Brown.

Aside from having appealing tail gate parties to go to, many students just don’t want to go to the football games. Junior, Greg Boyels, majoring in journalism said, “People don’t want to watch a losing team play. Give us a winning team then attendance will increase."

This season the average attendance has exceeded 15,000, but with three more home games to come USU football might be at risk of dropping to DI-AA.
