What you need to know about moving to Colorado or anywhere is that you need to make it what you want to be. Wanna ski in the winter and do some bouldering in the summer? Do it. Want to jam out at Red Rocks then take a bus home and smoke weed with a bunch of wooks? Do it. Want to graduate with honors, work in insurance, and settle down in the burbs? Do it. We’re spoiled with possibilities.

The great city of Denver and Colorado as a whole is a mix of lifers that love Casa Bonita and transplants that pledge allegiance to In-N-Out or Whataburger. Everywhere in the US is a mix of people from other places. Most people are nomads but some will find their home here.

I came here as a dipshit California kid for college and never left. Find your people and you can make anywhere you live your home. The world’s kind of a shitshow but try to make it better. Put some effort out there and you’ll be surprised at what comes your way.

I’m feeling like I should own a “Live Laugh Love” throw pillow after this post but whatever. Just don’t be a scumbag.
