8 Things To Do In Kansas Over The Summer

https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kansas_Summer_Wheat_and_Storm_Panorama.jpg

With school ending in just a few weeks, some of us already of have our summer plans set in stone. But for those of us that have no clue, here's some ideas to get you started.

1. Oceans of Fun/Worlds of Fun

2. Concerts

There are so many concerts coming to Kansas this summer. The Chainsmokers, Garth Brooks, and Chance the Rapper are just a few. For more concerts for every music taste, check out tickets and prices here.

3. Trampoline Park In Wichita

I just recently found out that Wichita even had a place like this, so you can bet this on the list. Plus prices are considerably cheap, you and your friends can jump for two hours for only 20 dollars a person.

4. River Fest in Salina

Everyone in Saline County knows the excitement of the Smoky Hill River Festival. Not only because it gives people a good reason to eat as much as they can; I don't know about you but I eat my weight in funnel cakes. Plus there's activities for everyone in the family to enjoy.

5. Sea Life In Kansas City

We live in the middle of Kansas, in the middle of the United of States, so seeing a sea turtle in real life is like the goal for most native Kansas. While there might not be dolphins, you can still see some exotic marine animals.

6. Go to the lake

One of the best things about living Kansas is that we have an overload of lakes. No matter where you live you are probably within thirty miles of a lake. You can pack your squad in the car and spend the day or even a weekend.

7. Visit the zoo

This kinda goes in part with the aquarium. Kansas has so many zoos/safari parks. You can literally drive through the Garden City Zoo; Wichita has multiple safari parks so choose from. No matter where you are I can almost promise that there is a zebra somewhere near by.

8. Drive in at Kanopolis Lake

I'm sure anyone that has been to the drive can agrees this is a thousand times better then a your everyday cinema.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

Western New England University

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions.

Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
