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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
