Colorado
You know you’re from COLORADO if: -You'll
eat ice cream in the winter. -It
snows 5 inches and you don't expect school to be cancelled. -You'll wear flip flops every day of the year, regardless of temperature. -You have no accent at all, but can hear other people’s. And then you make fun of them. -'Humid' is over 25%. -Your
sense of direction is: Toward the mountains and Away from the mountains. -You say 'the interstate' and everybody knows which one. -You think that May is a totally normal month for a blizzard. -You grew up planning your Halloween costumes around your coat. -You know what the
Continental Divide is. -You don't think Coors beer is that big a deal. -You went to
Casa Bonita as a kid. -You've gone
off-roading in a vehicle that was never intended for such activities. -You always know the elevation of where you are. -You wake up to a beautiful, 80 degree day and you wonder if it's going to snow tomorrow. -You don't care that some company renamed it,
the Broncos still play at
Mile High. -Every movie theater has military and student discounts. -Everybody wears jeans to church. –You actually know that South Park is a real place not just a show on TV. -You know what a 'trust fund hippy' is, and you know its natural habitat is Boulder. -You know you're talking to a fellow Coloradoan when they call it Elitches, not Six Flags. -A bear on your front porch doesn't bother you. -Your two favorite teams are the Broncos and whoever is beating the crap out of the Raiders. -You've been to the original Chipotle near the DU campus on Evans. -When people out East tell you they have mountains in their state too, you just laugh. -You go anywhere else on the planet and the air feels 'sticky' and you notice the sky is no longer blue.

A state with extreme scerenity, significant sunshine (over 300 days of sunshine a year in Denver) and the best opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. The Rocky Mountains make it the state with the highest average elevation. Denver, its capital and largest city (population
570,000), is called the “
Mile High City” because it’s capitol is exactly one mile in elevation. Denver is consistently ranked among the top of America’s “fittest” , “thinnest” , and “most educated” cities. About half of the state’s 5 million residents live in the Greater Denver Metro area. Other important population centers include
Colorado Springs,
Pueblo and
Fort Collins—all of which are located on the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains. Colorado has extreme variations in climate. People in Denver can get a tan and snow ski in the same day. The enormous flat plains of eastern Colorado get huge thunderstorms in the spring and summer that make for a great lightening show and tornadoes. Colorado is where the song, America the Beautiful was written. “For purple mountains majesty above the
fruited plain” describes Colorado to a tee. Beef cattle and wheat are its two largest agricultural products.
Example:
I wouldn't mind living in Colorado. It's
progressive, has a
reasonable cost of living and generally friendly people.

Pack your things!

Known as the 'Bi-polar' state 'cause one minute it's the next it's cold. A lot of tourist attractions and things to do all over the place. Generally nice people and people who actually WORK for what they have. Lots of skiing and snowboarding in the mountains. The capital is Denver with Elitches, as people in colorado call it, and
Casa Bonita, an awesome place to go for atmosphere (although the food isn't very good). Colorado Springs, another large city, is less crowded and business-y than denver. More open space with parks, hiking,
pikes peak, and
Garden of the Gods. Lots of newer, more relaxed churches where the dress code is whatever you wear the rest of the week. Although Colorado doesn't have a beach, it makes up for that!
Example:
Amy: I just
moved to Colorado.
Macy: That must suck!
Amy: Actually it doesn't! Everyone says
bad things about it but it's actually really awesome!

Colorado is the most beautiful place anyone can go to! And some definitions say that everyone thats from Colorado either does drugs or are bratty. Well I for one live in Colorado and yeah sure there are druggies and some people that are brats here but they're everywhere.The mountains here are amazing :) Especially during a sunset it's so pretty! People in Colorado can be extremely kind (most people are) or not the nicest it just depends on the person. Theres no beach here but we have all kids of other things to do like skiing, snowboarding, and even hiking :) Its really dry here but the people who live here are used to it :) The
elevation is a mile
above sea level and people who come here are more likely to get alltitude sickness. So if you visit stay hidrated! The weather in Colorado changes so quickly! One minute I'll be
biking with friends and an hour later it will be pouring rain or so hot we have to
stay inside. But it's kinda fun never knowing whats going to
happen next :) Well thats all I have to say :) Thanks for reading this :)
