How USU students enjoy the holiday season and new year
With the holiday season in full swing and the new year on its way, it is pretty cool to see how our fellow students at Utah State University Eastern spend their holiday season.
Personally, I love to spend my Christmas break with my family and friends. Every year, my family does a huge Christmas party. At our party, we do a gift exchange between all the cousins. It is so fun to buy gifts and see everyone so happy around the holidays.
