Some Ways to Avoid Cabin Fever This Weekend

Cabin fever is a condition caused from being in a confined space for a period of time. More often, it creates restlessness and irritability. There is a possibility that the term originated when settlers would be snowed into their cabins and would have to wait for the spring in order to travel to town.

According to weather.com, we can expect snow every day through next week. For those not interested winter outdoor activities, there are plenty of things for you to do outside of the house. Pullman transit is a good alternative to driving and walking, and can take you just about anywhere in Pullman.

This weekend brings Cougar Men’s Basketball back to the Palouse. On Thursday they will be playing the California Bears at 7:00 p.m. on Friel Court (Beasley Coliseum). On Saturday, the Cougs will face the Stanford Cardinals at 12:00 p.m. on Friel Court.

Other Cougar athletic events happening this weekend are:
Friday – Swimming vs. Oregon State, 5:00 p.m.
Track Invitational in Moscow, all day
Saturday – Track Invitational in Moscow, all day

The Student Recreation Center (the REC) can also provide some good entertainment away from the house. Besides offering workout equipment, the REC has pool tables, a swimming pool, hot tub and a lounge area. It is a great place to hang out with your friends, outside of the house and inside from the cold.

Eventually we all have to sit down and do some studying and homework. Instead of doing your work at home, try going to one of the coffee shops in town. Some places to check out are Café Moro, Daily Grind, Starbuck’s and Zoë’s Café. For those that are 21, Rico’s is a pretty cool place to relax and do work as well.

Hopefully you’ll get out of the house this weekend and avoid cabin fever.
