This week’s readings introduced many aspects of crime that touch closer to home. Many students may be reading this same textbook, though I expect that we relate to these topics differently, some grasp our attention more and others, standing to be more significant to our lives and fears. This week we were introduced to the economic repercussions of crimes along with the fear of knowing that some serial murders are so cunning that they simply seem to disappear. The reason many types of physical…

Growing up in Colorado was an easy lifestyle. There was one gang but they never came around to harm people.

She would say that it was against God 's law. I always…

Staff position. The Colorado School of Mines is one of the most diverse collection of Intellectuals, Athletes, and Nerds that I have ever been blessed to be a part of.

The speciality and reputation of our school draw people…

I began to make my way out of the ski lodge. My family and I had just finished eating lunch in the ski lodge and I was getting ready to hit the last few slopes before I called it a day. It had been many years since I had last spent time in Colorado, my old home. I was ecstatic I had the opportunity to visit during the winter so I could once again experience one of my favorite activities of skiing. Shortly after attending my family reunion, my family made their way up to Monarch Mountain to spend…
