The summer is here.
My first year at the University of Colorado Boulder is behind me.
To show for it I have ample knowledge and a growing interest in international affairs, foreign policy and the world around me, and I have a rekindled love for leadership and involvement within the university community.
The University of Colorado is my personal wonderland filled with endless possibilities and activities. Boulder is the perfect kind of college home. 
I saw Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Sam Harris and President Barack Obama. I participated in the famous Conference on World Affairs. I saw our basketball Buffs win the Pac 12 Conference and I saw our football Buffs try their hardest in our Pac 12 inaugural season. I had three jobs. I became a Student Ambassador. I found out what kind of Buff I am. I lived in my first apartment.
I loved Steven more than I ever have. I relied on him, truly needed him. Our relationship continues to evolve into the best kind of friendship, partnership. He is my greatest, my forever love. With him, I grow and continue to discover the best version of myself.
I have been out of Boulder for around two weeks and I already miss it. I miss looking up and the Flatirons and losing my breath because I can’t believe that this is my home. I miss being able to get the best baked goods at Boulder Baked. I miss just walking around the campus and talking about how much I love the campus. I guess this is how I know I finally chose the right school.
Summer has moved me to Denver- a place I only ever have passed through or visited for sporting events. I will be at the Capitol this summer forging my way into the world of politics and policy. It’s the most magical, weirdest feeling to have dreams come true.
Denver. Many people call it a “pseudo” city, but it makes me want to cry. I realize how lucky I have been in my life with the Garden of the Gods as my backyard and traffic jams lasting a mere 20 minutes. There are so many roads, so many shops, people.
For the time being, I am taking refuge in a small Starbucks located next to a bookstore and a Modmarket. This Starbucks is located on Colorado. A street name that has often provided me with comfort. In the Springs, Colorado is a street where the Coronado High School parade takes place, where the trees change and the scarecrows find their home in the fall. In Boulder, it is a street that signifies campus and buses. It’s a central, comforting location.
I have no idea where I wanted to go with this. I am excited, I am thankful, I am a little scared. I cannot wait for Steven to get here. I cannot wait for my birthday. I cannot wait to drive to work everyday—-to the Capitol.
I love Colorado.
Why do I have to leave this magical place

“Mom, listen, I haven’t been together with Topanga for 22 years, but we have been together for 16. That’s a lot longer than most couples have been together. I mean, when we were born, you told me that we used to take walks in our strollers together around the block. When we were two, we were best friends. I mean, I knew everything about this girl. I knew her favorite color, her favorite food. Then we became six, Eric made fun of me because it wasn’t cool to have a best friend that was a girl or even know a girl. So for the next seven years I threw dirt at her. I like to call those “the lost years”. Then when I was thirteen, mom, she put me up against my locker and she kissed me. I mean, she gave me my first kiss. She taught me how to dance. She always was talking about these crazy things and I never understood a word she said. All I understood was that she was the girl I sat up every night thinking about, and when I’m with her, I feel happy to be alive. Like I can do anything. Even talk to you like this. So that’s, that’s what I think is love, mom. When I’m better because she’s here.” -
