I Fell In Love With Colorado
Brooke Beverley

Last August, my family visit the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and ever since I have been in love with the mountains. I constantly think about going back and having those amazing feelings back. Here are my top reasons why I am in love with Colorado and I can't wait to go back.

The views

The views are absolutely gorgeous. I saw pictures before we left and I used to think that Colorado was a place out of a fantasy. I just remember the feeling I had when I saw the mountains I was so amazed. No matter where you look it is the views are just breathtaking. The one confusing part is for the first two hours driving into Colorado it looked like a flat dessert then quickly changed into the most beautiful sight of mountains.

Climbing to the top of a mountain is unreal

When I was at the bottom of the mountain I could only see up to a certain point so I didn't think the hike would be awful. We were stocked with our canned oxygen, walking sticks, and we had our camelbacks full of water.

The hike started out pretty easy and as it progressed it got harder and the air got thinner (this is where the canned oxygen helped, even though part of me still believes it doesn't help). I kept going and the views we definitely worth the hike. When I got to the top I felt so happy with myself and it was absolutely gorgeous.

Got to spend time with my family

The most important part of this whole trip was getting to spend time with my dad, his fiancé, my brother, and his girlfriend. I don't get to see my dad and Michelle that often so it made this trip so worth the fourteen-hour car ride.

I love Colorado and all the memories I made there in August, I am hoping our family can get back together again to make more memories in this beautiful state.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
