7 Colorado Things That Will Always Be True
Meghan Kilkenny

Colorado is a very popular place. With more and more people and companies flocking to Colorado each year, long-time Colorado relatives have felt and noticed the changes that come with increased development. That being said, there are some things about Colorado that will always remain true.

1. The Rockies will always sell tickets.

Win or lose, rain or shine, people will always go to Rockies games. There is something addicting about spending the evening at Coors Field with the mountain backdrop enjoying a Helton burger. While the Rockies haven't had the most successful past few years statistically, they sure have sold tickets regardless. With the addition of the rooftop bars, Coors Field will always be a Colorado favorite destination.

2. No weather will deter people from going outside.

Coloradans find outdoor activities to do in every single type of weather. There is hardly a day that is too hot or cold, rainy or snowy, to keep Coloradans indoors. Sometimes Coloradans don't take safety into account, but they will always be outdoors.

3. You can count on rain (almost) every afternoon in the summer.

If it doesn't thunderstorm on a summer afternoon, something feels off in Colorado. Around four every day, you can look to the Colorado sky and see angry storm clouds ready to erupt. Don't fret, the daily storms don't last long.

4. I-25 traffic will always suck.

It seems that no matter the time of day you will always hit traffic on I-25. At least while you wait you can enjoy the mountain view!

5. Casa Bonita will always be the best dinner with a show.

Okay, maybe not the best dinner. But the cliff divers and waterfalls will always make the best family night out in Colorado.

6. You'd see basically any concert at Red Rocks.

Even if it was a band I've never heard of, I would go to their concert at Red Rocks. The amphitheater's natural beauty and open air setting provides the best concert experience there is. It doesn't matter who is playing, a Red Rocks concert is an out-of-this-world experience.

7. Sunsets are prettiest in Colorado.

There is something about watching the fiery orange sun dip below the mountains every evening that makes Colorado home.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
