I Fell In Love With Colorado

I can't wait to go back.

I Fell In Love With Colorado
Brooke Beverley

Last August, my family visit the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and ever since I have been in love with the mountains. I constantly think about going back and having those amazing feelings back. Here are my top reasons why I am in love with Colorado and I can't wait to go back.

The views

The views are absolutely gorgeous. I saw pictures before we left and I used to think that Colorado was a place out of a fantasy. I just remember the feeling I had when I saw the mountains I was so amazed. No matter where you look it is the views are just breathtaking. The one confusing part is for the first two hours driving into Colorado it looked like a flat dessert then quickly changed into the most beautiful sight of mountains.

Climbing to the top of a mountain is unreal

When I was at the bottom of the mountain I could only see up to a certain point so I didn't think the hike would be awful. We were stocked with our canned oxygen, walking sticks, and we had our camelbacks full of water.

The hike started out pretty easy and as it progressed it got harder and the air got thinner (this is where the canned oxygen helped, even though part of me still believes it doesn't help). I kept going and the views we definitely worth the hike. When I got to the top I felt so happy with myself and it was absolutely gorgeous.

Got to spend time with my family

The most important part of this whole trip was getting to spend time with my dad, his fiancé, my brother, and his girlfriend. I don't get to see my dad and Michelle that often so it made this trip so worth the fourteen-hour car ride.

I love Colorado and all the memories I made there in August, I am hoping our family can get back together again to make more memories in this beautiful state.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
