5 Reasons Why People Should Stop Moving To Colorado

Most people know the stereotypical gist of the state of Colorado: the "mile-high city," the Rocky Mountains, the Super Bowl-winning Broncos and legal marijuana. Many people see those as reasons to move to this beautiful, breath-taking place, but here are the reasons why you should just stay where you are.

How active everyone is.

Really, there is way too much to do here in Colorado and a total of four seasons to do it. There's hiking fourteeners, or hiking small trails or anything in between. We have skiing and snowboarding in the winter and paddle-boarding and water-skiing in the summer. There's bike trails around the whole state and the bikers that come with them. After all, it is the most active state in the USA, who really wants to move here and live up to that hype?

The mountains are terrible.

Terribly gorgeous, that is. There are 53 fourteeners, 53 mountains that reach 14,000 feet that you can climb to the top, who wants that kind of pressure to hike each of them? Once you move here there is no match to the sun setting behind the beautiful Rocky Mountains. There is no comparison to our beautiful orange and blue sunsets.

Our sporting events are always packed.

Not only do we have great baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer, indoor and outdoor lacrosse teams, we have the best football team in the world for 2016. Do you really want to sit in the amazing Bronco stadium which has held legends like John Elway, Shannon Sharpe, Von Miller and Peyton Manning, while fans are filled to the brim to watch the Super Bowl champs?

You can literally do absolutely anything here (except the beach).

We pretty much have all kinds of adventures in this state, and like so many things it's overwhelming. You could go for a night into town, dinner on 16th Street Mall, a play at the Denver Arts Center, a walk in Downtown Denver or you could have a night under the stars with a tent and a blazing campfire. You could drive down to the sand dunes and sand board down the tallest sand dunes in North America or hike to one of our many lakes or reservoirs and paddle board on the calm waters. Or you could even climb up to the top of a 14,000 foot mountain and take in the beautiful natural views of the land or make the trek up the Twister II and look out at the amazing skyline of Downtown Denver and then make an 80 foot drop at 55 mph on the rickety, old, wooden rollercoaster. You can watch the sunrise at the world's most beautiful natural amphitheater, Red Rocks, then finish your adventurous day by watching the sunset at Daniel's Park. There is so many options on what to do, do you really want to feel that overwhelmed?

And lastly...

Just don't move to Colorado, we're full.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
