This is a response to 16 Things I Learned When Moving to Colorado.

Colorado is hands down one of the most beautiful states in America. From deserts to mountains to lakes, there's natural beauty everywhere to be found. Not to mention hip cities like Denver and Boulder for those of us who prefer concrete jungles. Here are five great places to visit on your next Colorado vacation.

Rocky Mountain National Park

No Colorado destination list would be complete without this crown jewel of a national park. The over 400 square mile oasis contains a wide variety of beautiful mountain environments. Plus, the cute small town of Estes Park is right outside when you want to explore paved streets instead of trails.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper?
