Colorado

[Sarah]

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.

[Sarah]

a place that is the most entertaining state in the history of the world and you say people wanna leave... but the high school kids who go out of state for college transfer back because its THAT good.

[Sarah]

A state where the powder's almost as fresh as the pot and you can toke it up as you board down the mogules.

[Sarah]

home of the chillest city in America, Boulder. In fact, if Boulder had an ocean, or large body of water, it would be the greatest city in America. Colorado is home to the smartest city in America, also Boulder, with the most PhD's per capita, but also the most marijuana use per capita. CO has the best snow, and sexy mountains. mountains > ocean anyway. hardly anything to do at an ocean; surf, swim, walk on hot sand, boat, do marine biology research.
