I am so broke. I am low on money for the semester and it's only October. I have a work study job, but even that is only $5,000 a year and I really only have time to go on Fridays for a few hours. I suppose I can add more hours after class on Thursdays. Next semester I should be able to add a few more work study hours with my schedule.

I'm so stressed that I'm going to have to get into credit card debt to survive.

I just moved here and I am so paralyzed when deciding what to hike. There's so many options and I just don't know how to choose what to hike. If anyone has recommendations, please share! Easy/Moderate elevation gain would be best!

I just moved here from and I’ve visited the mountains, the zoo, aquarium, butterfly pavilion and stuff (loved the aquarium and BP!), but now I’m a bit paralyzed about what to do next.

I live by Alameda Station and I’m kind of disappointed that it’s not a real neighborhood. I wish I had visited before moving. It’s a really nice unit, but I feel isolated and like I have to drive everywhere.

Does anyone have recommendations on where to go that feel like “real Denver”?

I just feel kind of…empty. Idk. It sucks when you end up in a wrong part of town for you. And I signed a 15 month lease I think? It was more than a year to save money.

I’m going to DU for my MSW and I kind of wish I’d been more intentional about where to live.

I’m also going to check out boulder at some point to see if it might be more of my jam.

I lived in DC for 9.5 years and was without a car for most of them (and used public transit for nearly everything even when I had a car).

Having to drive for everything really sucks. I will say, having a car to be able to drive to the mountains rocks, but having to drive for all day to day tasks is the worst. I miss being able to walk to the grocery store and taking the bus to work through a beautiful part of DC.

I live near a transit station (alameda station for any Denver folks) and I’m excited to use it to move around the city but it just kind of sucks to have to drive everywhere (except through Rocky Mountain National Park)

Just moved here and I love wildlife and this seemed like the best bet to see wildlife in the area. I'm just wondering how likely on a single visit one is to see wildlife? I saw from photos there's bison. Is there anything else?

Hi all! I am in my first week in Denver and I'm enjoying it so far. I haven't been able to see a whole lot yet, but I did go to Estes and loved it. I'm nursing a foot injury so while I'm an experienced hiker, I'm taking it easy.

Can anyone recommend a hike that is sort of the best bang for it's buck? Short, easy, with great views? Bonus points if an alpine lake is involved.

I'll be at Cortland Alameda Station, 415 S Cherokee St.

Hi all - I'm wondering if folks can recommend best bakeries and/or coffee shops by neighborhood? I'm going to make myself a master list to try! Happy to share it here as well. I had one when I lived in DC and it was really fun to make my way through it.

I am going with Colonial Van Lines for a move from DC to Denver. I'm a bit frustrated because they said the van would come on either Thursday the 13th or Friday the 14th and that I'd find out 24-hours in advance when they'd be there.

I have to reserve parking for my building and I asked if I could reserve a spot for both days, but I'm expecting them to say no.

Is this standard for moving companies? Are there any that will abide by the exact day chosen?

I started my MSW program this summer and I'm enjoying it. That said, I went into it wanting to be a therapist, but that interest is shifting a bit. idk what it's shifting to, yet, but I'm not sure I want to be a therapist anymore, when actually thinking about the day to day job.

When I don't have an answer for what I want to do after the two year program, I start to panic.

Does anyone else relate to this? Do you struggle with wanting to have all the answers? How do you navigate it?

It's an area that I'm considering specializing in but I'd love to learn more about that process and what that therapy looks like.

ETA: I should've been clearer - this is about people who work with people who neglected and/or hoarded animals
