Five Fun Things To Do In Boulder!
Boulder Downtown

Colorado has many places to visit and they are all filled with a lot of things to do! I mean you have a wide range of things! You have all the different places to go hiking and be one with nature. But also there is a lot of great shopping and eating around this beautiful state. Not matter where you end up, that could be Durango or it could be Boulder, you’ll find something fit for you. I am going to focus on Boulder specifically because of the fact that I was just there and fell in love with it!

1. Hiking

If you are looking for a fun and calming day out, then this is meant for you! Hiking in Boulder is a like a Colorado must. There are so many places to go and hike up in Boulder. Whether you want to hike in Chautauqua or go hike the Flatirons. There will never be a bad hike or view!

2. Pearl Street Mall

When it comes to shopping in Boulder it is important that you go to the Pearl Street Mall because of all the cool and unique things you will find. They have a wide variety of stores to go shopping in! Stores ranging from a Crocs Store all the way to Where The Buffalo Roam! Both equally as important stores and make Pearl Street unique. But the coolest thing about Pearl Street is the people who set up shop and perform for everyone to see. It’s great because of the fact that they draw massive crowds and help clear up some of the stores.

3. Boulder Reservoir

Another fun spot to go to while in Boulder is the Boulder Reservoir. It is a great place to go and cool off during the summer. But also when it gets colder outside they host the ever most exciting Polar Plunge. The reservoir has a lot of things to do on it. Whether you are swimming or boating you will have a guaranteed fun time there.

4. Boulder Dinner Theater

Ok, nothing is more exciting than Dinner Theater. You are being waited on by actual cast members of the show you are seeing. Like how can that not be exciting?! Along with that, you are getting an amazing dinner that makes everything great! But the live entertainment really tops the whole thing. It doesn’t matter what you are seeing, but it is better than any dinner you can have!

5. The Hill

Now if you are looking for a more laid back, but still exciting time then head to The Hill. The Hill is close to the CU-Boulder campus and is filled with lots to do. You can hang out and grab a fresh pizza and beer from The Sink. But this is a hot spot for the students that are near there. You will have a fun time no matter what time and where you are.


There is so much to do in Boulder that it doesn’t really matter where you are at or what you are doing - you will have a fun time. There is never going to be a dull moment in Boulder.

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.

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.
