15 Signs You Know You're From Colorado, Other Than Owning An Outback

If you're a true Coloradan, you'll know it if...

You remember playing on this as a kid

Sam Talks About Shopping

This has now been replaced, but man, THOSE WERE THE DAYS. Cherry Creek Mall will never be the same...

You probably went here with your school at some point...

YAC

This takes me back down memory lane. The first time I went was in fifth grade with my school and I was a DJ (my class probably got sick of Selena Gomez that day...). I loved it so much, I went back for a summer camp and I was the mayor. You could say I'm kind of a big deal.

You know all about this place and probably have been here AT LEAST once

I have only been here a couple of times. Subpar food, cool cliff divers, and my best memory is collecting a ton of Tootsie Rolls.

You know the donut place to hit up is Voodoo Doughnuts

Back in the day they only accepted cash, but now they take card! This is THE place to hit up if you're ever on or around Colfax.

You know the most popular car in Colorado is hands down the Subaru Outback

You have to agree, this car is arguably the most popular car in Colorado. My husband, who's from Nebraska, even got one after he lived here for a little while (and I hate it).

You know who this guy is

Sam En Croute

ROBO MIKE! You definitely have seen this legend hanging around 16th Street Mall at least once in your life.

Your favorite concert venue is Red Rocks

Red Rocks is the most dreamy, amazing concert venue I've been to. I've seen OneRepublic, 21 Pilots, G-Eazy, and so many other artists here. Literally the best venue ever.

You probably sing "Boulder" in 'Closer' by The Chainsmokers a little louder than the rest of the song

I mean, duh. How can you NOT sing this line a little louder than the others? You should hear how excited college students in our state sing this when they're drunk at a party...it's LOUD.

You know all about the Denver Airport conspiracy theories

Secret bunkers. Strangely placed runways. New World Order. Must I say more?

...and you know the story behind Blucifer

I can't shake the goosebumps this dude gives me when I see his red eyes glaring whenever I pass him going to the airport. He has literally killed someone...like WHAT?!

You always know which way is west thanks to the mountains

If you're ever lost, no fear. Just look for the mountains and you know you're headed west.

You know not to travel through DTC during rush hour

DON'T. DO. IT. I-25 becomes a literal parking lot during rush hour. Take the normal roads, but be aware those will be busy too.

You have a preference when it comes to whether you want to listen to 95.7 or 107.5

95.7 The Party

I'm definitely a 95.7 The Party type of gal, but everyone has a preference between the two! Also side note: I was in the room during this interview with Madison Beer (pictured above).

You get really into the race between these 3 at Colorado Rockies games

Twitter

Everyone gets hyped when these three roll up on the field. Also, GO TOOTHPASTE.

Go Rockies!

You usually pick a side when the Rocky Mountain Showdown game happens every year

As a previous CU Boulder student...all I'll say is IT SUCKS TO BE A CSU RAAAAM!

Boulder always takes this one...give it up already CSU.

Sko buffs.

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.
