Looking back, I am slightly ashamed of how much I took this wonderful town for granted. I was born in the city of Pocatello, Idaho. Home to the Idaho State University and the…

Jason walked into the training facility in Moscow, Idaho. He looked around at the empty hallway where the only light was some beeping security monitors. He walked to the lone elevator and pressed LL. The elevator hummed as it jumped down to the football training room. He pulled out a pair of Nike running shoes and some headphones before walking over to the bike.

Because of my love for the state of Idaho, my personal values, and my desire to obtain an education without going into debt, I will be attending Brigham Young University- Idaho in the fall. This institution is situated in a beautiful place in Idaho; central to skiing, climbing, and hiking which is the best, most hands-on way to experience the state. When I envision my life, I see it being rooted in Idaho. Though I may live somewhere else for a few years or travel, I cannot imagine what life…

The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality has been recording reports of nuisance…

fall into a state of melancholy, and sometimes even depression, because of the cold gloominess that an Idaho winter can bring. If you were to compare people to birds, most birds are miserable in Idaho during the winter. When temperatures start dropping they retreat to warmer weather where they are more comfortable.
