Maybe this isn’t so much of an informative piece as it is a public plea for someone to take me on this date. Is that too much to ask? I’ve always considered it the epitome of the perfect, picturesque winter rendezvous. I don’t know if hipsters ice skate, but expect a progress report soon.
An evening at the Wichita Ice Center is a great option for couples who are tired of the stale dinner-and-a-movie on Saturday and makes for an awesome, no-pressure first date activity as well. It’s …

It’s no secret that Wichita is an arts town, and that’s why I love it.

Many flatland dwellers have found there are plenty of places to accommodate anyone’s need to reach some altitude.
Unfortunately, rock climbing isn’t something you can just dive into. It is absolutely imperative that you are supervised or receive the proper training. You won’t get a chance to talk to those cute …

At the end of September, I got my PETA-dues-paying, liberal heart in a whirl and decided to walk the walk. I pledged to go vegetarian.
I didn’t feel like I could realistically commit to being a vegan. I can’t survive without cereal. I’m in college. It’s a staple.
