Team Noren Adventures

York, Nebraska is the hot spot for people travelling across Nebraska. With the interstate and two major highways connecting in town, York gets a lot of business. Nevertheless, York is great supporters of each other and activities that the youth is involved in. Though there may not be a lot of do here, people make their own fun with what they have. Now here are 20 things people in York, Nebraska say during the summer...

1. "Want to go to DQ?"

Blizzards. Dilly Bars. Banana Splits. Need I say more?

2. "We need to roadtrip."

The infamous "we need to do something amazing this summer" which never happens.

3. "It's supposed to storm tonight!"

All of the amateur storm chasers in town always get so excited when stormy weather comes during the summer. (Picture: tornado was on May 29, 2013 near the interstate in the field)

4. "Wait...just kidding."

Disappointing every time.

5. "Let's go to the lake and watch the sunset."

Granted, most people go to the lake out of town. Recharge does fulfill the "I want to watch the sunset by the lake" feeling.

6. "I have to work."

Detasseling, babysitting, and fast food are probably the most common jobs around town.

7. "I saw [insert name here] at Walmart the other day."

You can't get in and out of Walmart without seeing at least 5 people you know.

8. "Are [insert name here] and [insert another name here] still dating?"

Summer seems to break people up? Guess it wasn't meant to be for them.

9. "Let's get coffee at Redbeards."

Greatest coffee place in town.

10. "I'm camping"

75% of the town goes camping at least once during the summer it seems like.

11. "Hey, it's finally storming!"

Rain and thunder are the most exciting things.

12. *waits an hour* "Dang the bad stuff always splits to go around us."

Ugh.

13. "Let's go to the pool."

For those of you who don't go to the pool for work, how do you not get tired of the splashing children around you?

14. "Firecracker Frenzy is tonight!"

This event on July 3 always attracts the whole town and those surrounding.

15. "Want to go to the baseball game?"

Legion baseball is always a fan favorite.

16. "Do you know what's going on across town?"

Small towns means news spreads fast.

17. "Let's go to Lincoln soon."

The nice thing about York being 45 minutes from Lincoln and Grand Island, there's always more things to do.

18. "I can't. I'm going on vacation."

Whenever your friends try to plan something extraordinary, but family commitments get in the way.

19. "Are you hunting for the medallion this year?"

Pirate Jim is offering $1500 this year for whoever finds the medallion this year. Family fun for everyone

20. "Summer went by too fast."

Got to make more memories next summer

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
