Many things have drawn me to this place. For one, my mother tells me it’s a beautiful place. She says the mountains there are snowcapped even in the summer, and I can’t even imagine how amazing that must be to see with your own eyes. Also, I’ve heard great things about the city itself. I live in a small town, not exactly what I’d call a conducive atmosphere, and from the looks of it Boulder is exactly where I need to be. To top things off I’m REALLY in love with the University of Colorado (or at least it sounds terrific) and I’ll get to see it ALL when I go there this summer!
