Make This Summer Count!
Cody Schneider

Whether you like it or not, summer is approaching us here in Colorado very quickly and we all want to make the best of the nice weather and great events that Colorado has to offer throughout the summer season. I thought I'd make available a list of things you absolutely must do for a once in a lifetime summer without even leaving the state!

1. Global Dance Festival Colorado

I had the pleasure of going to the "pre-event" for the 2017 Global Dance Festival called Global Dub Festival and that was a night for the books if you enjoy music, people, Sports Authority Field or dancing, this one will definitely kick off your summer on a good note with a day filled with energy and an incredible show put on by all the artists.

2. Greeley Stampede

If music isn't your thing, I recommend you check out the Greeley Stampede and all of its glory. You can check out the fair, the bull riding, and many more family friendly events that are sure to take you back to your childhood and the county fairs that we all loved so dearly.

3. Hot Air Balloon festival

Although it may not be as grand as the international Hot Air Balloon Festival, this one is still a sight to see with your family and friends.

4. Vans Warped Tour

Last, but definitely not least and also my personal favorite of the summer, Vans Warped Tour. For all music enthusiasts, there is something for everyone. The lineup features a wide spread of music from Metal to Post Hardcore. With all of the causes that have booths at the festival, you are sure to find something to support like A Voice For The Innocent which supports victims of sexual assault and rape.

If you still can't find something to do then start something and let's make this summer count!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
