Adventures of Colorado: X Files

The start off of a new and wonderful semester here at CMU has begun!
It's back to the books and homework life. Christmas break was amazing, getting to see all my family and friends made it such a recovery break. As my mom said it allowed me to "recharge my batteries". And she is exactly right, that's precisely how I feel. Coming back to Colorado was a bit scary at first but then everything just started to fall into place and even though this isn't my "home" it's where I live and I wouldn't have it any other way.
So to kick off the new and exciting semester what better way then to take a road trip to Aspen, CO for the Winter X Games ?!?

 What an EXPERIENCE! I have watched the X games on my television back home for years and years since I was little. I got the chance to be within 100 ft of Shaun White haha and see some pretty spectacular tricks and jumps. Watching people defy gravity is breathtaking. Here's a couple of pics of the events and some of my friends who I got to enjoy this experience with. 





After the events were over there was a concert that I was NOT expecting! Calvin Harris performed a concert in the snowy atmosphere of Aspen. Again, it was amazing :) I've always loved Calvin Harris and not a lot beat jumping up and down to some awesome beats while the snow is falling down on you.
Some vids of the Calvin Harris concert!


Till next time!
