“I have to go here, dad. I just have to,” I told my father during our first tour of Colorado Mesa University’s campus. “I already feel like a Maverick,” I admitted as I straightened out my new CMU ball cap from the campus bookstore. It was a strange feeling knowing that I would no longer be Lakeland High School’s most spirited student, but there was excitement in knowing that I would soon show my pride for Colorado Mesa. Images of my blue and white spirit wear quickly changed to be maroon and…

While attending Colorado State University, I want to engage and be involved in many different groups and communities as a great way to interact with other students with various backgrounds and learn from each other.

The broke college kid Now I apologize for writing about such a cliche, honestly the phrase itself is synonymous with the word college, followed by ramen noodles, but that 's a different story.

have chosen Utah for my state report. Before, I knew less about Utah. I knew that there were many national parks there, because I “kind of” researched them while trying to choose my national park for the national park report. I also knew that Salt Lake City was the capital of Utah. One other thing I know was that Utah had a low population. I didn't really know anything else about Utah before. In this report, I will tell you about Utah. It will be about how Utah became a state, famous people from…
