Shouting Questions

What do you think about when you think of Kansas? Do you think boring? Flat? Farms? The Wizard of Oz? Well when I think of this beautiful state, I think of my college town, Manhattan, KS. I think fun, amazing food, the happiest most genuine people, the sunsets, and so much more. So here's 5 things to do if you ever come to "The Hat."

1. Go to the Varsity Food truck

This famous food truck lies in Aggieville and opens up at 10:00 pm. And let me tell you, if you ever decide to stop by it you MUST get the Mac n cheese grilled cheese WIH bacon--yes this is a real thing!

2. Hike the Konza Prairie

If you're a little more adventurous, hike the Konza Prairie around 6:30 PM to watch the sunset. I think almost every KS native can agree on the fact that we have the most breath taking sunsets you'll ever see.

3. Look out at the city from Manhattan Hill

Another thing to do for those who are more spontaneous is to drive up to what we call Manhattan Hill. It says "Manhattan" in big white letters. It's the best place to have a picnic or sonic drink and overlook the entire city of Manhattan.

4. Devour a cookie bake

For those who have a sweet tooth: head on over to Mr. K's and get yourself a cookie bake. It's a cookie of your choice baked to PERFECTION, smothered with melted vanilla ice cream.

5. Tour the campus

We have the most friendly students here in Manhattan and the campus is absolutely stunning. It's something fun (and educational) for all ages!

But, no matter what you do in Manhattan, you're always in for the best time.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
