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.

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

female tv characters
We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
