I feel like I identify as a Colorado girl in a New York City world, yes a customer called me a Colorado girl the other day and it may or may not of creeped me out- but yes I AM COLORADO HEAR ME ROAR.

Anyway, meeting up with another friend from Colorado and here's our shared experience of being from Colorado in New York City

1. A yard

As she said It 'I just want a yard, what happened to yards?" Aha, it was a good question. There are of course yards if farther off places, etc but a yard in your apartment in Manhattan or Brooklyn that close to the city? - Don't bet on it. "I just want a patch of grass to sit on" she also said, aha that one gets me.

2. Hiking

"I would like the option to hike" we agreed on. Both of us aren't avid hikers, in fact, I hated it when I was young. But wow, damn if it wasn't nice that we could just have the option to go and hike right outside side our door versus actually really driving somewhere.

3. Shopping somewhere else than Trader Joes

Oh, the days when I would just 'pick up a few things' from the grocery store on the way home. Those days are gone son, gone!

4. Showing CO pictures to EVERYONE

I thought this was just me, but we both agreed that whenever we hear the mention of 'Colorado' we instantly engage ourselves. Colorado yes? What about It? Want to see some pictures? IT's BEAUTIFUL. I even was spending too long finding pictures so I made this beautiful one as my wallpaper to catch anyone and show them that beauty. I mean, I need to probably chill.

5. Realizing we need to chill

"You know, we actually need to stop doing that", she said. "We can't have everyone move to Colorado, it's like a little secret." Agreed. Another thing I miss and liked about Colorado was how NOT CROWDED it was. Go to a hike, yeah there's people. Yeah and it's growing- but you know what will shock you in terms of people? Walking in Central Park on the first nice day of the year. Holy moly, that was a bunch of people- way more I've ever seen on the trails.

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:

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.
