Get the Colossus mug.A small, liberal arts school that is an oasis of sanity in Colorado Springs, which is a poor excuse for a city that is overrun by military.
The college runs on the block system. On this system, students take one class, or block, at a time for three weeks. In between blocks there are 4 1/2 day breaks during which students usually go skiing or snowboarding and partake in a general Shit Show. The system is intense, demanding and requires a lot of finesse on behalf of the student. Many of the three week courses are held outside of the college at the college's second campus in Bacca or even internationally, such as an art class that spent most of the block in Paris.
Kids at this college smoke a lot of weed and love flannel, neon clothing, spandex, guacamole, and limes. The school is flooded with friendly hipsters who, aside from the frighteningly excessive amount of whom have a Bob Dylan poster and/or Bob Marley posters in their dorm room, are ready and willing to throw a dance party whenever the time calls for it.
Townies and flyboys from the nearby air force academy continually try to crash the parties at Colorado College, but with little to no success.
The school has a "drink responsibly" policy which applies to students of all ages (as in under-ages) which absolutely owns.
Bad aspects: In Colorado Springs
Good aspects: Lots of opportunities to leave Colorado Springs, good cafeteria food, the college's president name is Dick and he rides around on a segway.

Get the colorado mug.+. an amazing activity where great choreography movements and the use of a flag, sabre, or rifle make an excellent show.
+. takes lots of practice.
+. have to learn how to march, jazz run, stay on count, memorize every movement, be prepared for the worst, get to places in a limited amount of counts, toss, drop-spins, plus be graceful during it all.
+. being a guardie is a great part of life. i wouldnt trade it for anything.
+. i dont know if id call it a sport. we do compete just like cheerleaders. so i suppose if cheerleading is a sport so is guard.

Get the colorado mug.Something that adds color and life into half time shows. I've seen shows without it and it's just not the same. Being part of it is a LOT harder than you would think. I was in it freshman year of high school and it was the hardest thing I did. It's a very rewarding sport and requires some skill. It is often made fun of and thought to be useless. They seem to believe that all we do is twirl our flags, but it is really MUCH more than that. We spin flags, rifles and sabers while marching and keeping smiles on our faces. Not only that, but there is also dance weaved into it. If you make your team, be prepared for multiple injuries, but also one of the best experiences.
During my year of Color guard, I hit my lip twice with my flag and rifle. I hit my funny bone multiple times and hit myself in the stomach trying to toss my flag above my head (the name of the move escapes me). But I came out feeling more responsible and feeling a lot better about myself in general. It really is a one of a kind experience.
