7 Colorado Things That Will Always Be True
Meghan Kilkenny

Colorado is a very popular place. With more and more people and companies flocking to Colorado each year, long-time Colorado relatives have felt and noticed the changes that come with increased development. That being said, there are some things about Colorado that will always remain true.

1. The Rockies will always sell tickets.

Win or lose, rain or shine, people will always go to Rockies games. There is something addicting about spending the evening at Coors Field with the mountain backdrop enjoying a Helton burger. While the Rockies haven't had the most successful past few years statistically, they sure have sold tickets regardless. With the addition of the rooftop bars, Coors Field will always be a Colorado favorite destination.

2. No weather will deter people from going outside.

Coloradans find outdoor activities to do in every single type of weather. There is hardly a day that is too hot or cold, rainy or snowy, to keep Coloradans indoors. Sometimes Coloradans don't take safety into account, but they will always be outdoors.

3. You can count on rain (almost) every afternoon in the summer.

If it doesn't thunderstorm on a summer afternoon, something feels off in Colorado. Around four every day, you can look to the Colorado sky and see angry storm clouds ready to erupt. Don't fret, the daily storms don't last long.

4. I-25 traffic will always suck.

It seems that no matter the time of day you will always hit traffic on I-25. At least while you wait you can enjoy the mountain view!

5. Casa Bonita will always be the best dinner with a show.

Okay, maybe not the best dinner. But the cliff divers and waterfalls will always make the best family night out in Colorado.

6. You'd see basically any concert at Red Rocks.

Even if it was a band I've never heard of, I would go to their concert at Red Rocks. The amphitheater's natural beauty and open air setting provides the best concert experience there is. It doesn't matter who is playing, a Red Rocks concert is an out-of-this-world experience.

7. Sunsets are prettiest in Colorado.

There is something about watching the fiery orange sun dip below the mountains every evening that makes Colorado home.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
