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.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
