Picking up and moving to a different state where you know no one can be difficult. I remember the last few weeks I had in Vegas, and how worried I was to move to Colorado. It's a scary thing. Questions run through your mind like: Will I fit in? How will I make friends? The anxitey that overtook my body was mad real. You continously second guess the decision you made. I never expected to fall in love with a place like Denver, and it happened.

When I first started packing, reality began to settle in. I had the intention of moving to Colorado for school, but never as soon as a month. Once I found a roommate, it was pretty much set. When I loaded the u-haul the early morning of August 14, 2016, I knew my life was about to take a huge toll. It took probably an hour and then I was set to take off on my 12 hour journey to Denver.

Crazy how it has been a little over a month now, and I've never been happier. I always felt out of place in the phony town of Las Vegas. Being here, it feels very normal. Almost as if I was meant to end up here. The scenery I am surrounded by is tall buildings and mountains. There is the color green everywhere I look and that is definitley something I am not used to being in Vegas for most of my life. The night I moved into my apartment with my roommate, Madison Evers, we ended up going out to a small get together with her friends from last school year. Those friends have impacted my new life majorly.

People can say that everyone is the same everywhere, but just know they are wrong. Wherever you go, you will find different individuals. The friends i've made here are for sure keepers. They've made my moving experience quite enjoyable. From bar hopping down Market St. to going off to a Broncos rally, my friends always know how to make the best out of this city. Denver friends reading this (Alex, Kellie, Jimmy, ect.), I appreicate you.

Having a roommate who lived here last school year is awesome. Maddie showed me around, and was the person who introduced me to everyone out here. I really couldn't imagine going off into this journey with her not by my side. I'd be lost without her. So Maddie, I also appreciate you (even though you wake me up every now and then).

As I continue on finding myself, just know I am beyond happy here. I am grateful to be in such a pretty city with the pretty souls I am continously surrounded by everyday. Bronocs and Rockies games, long nights at Brothers, and bottomless mimosas at Ignite, all I can say is that I am home at last. I struggled finding my path in life, and it's relieving knowing I found my home with my forever friends.
