10 Summer Ideas For Bored K-State Kids Hanging Around Manhattan

For all students at K-State, summer is just one month away. I am (not so) patiently waiting for my last final to be over with, so I can finally relax and take a break from school. Here are some ways you can have the best summer yet when you have no clue what to do…

1. Go on a road trip

I realize that everyone may not have the money to just take off and head to the beach, myself included. But that shouldn’t stop you from making a short trip to the city. Running off to Wichita or KC for a day or two has always been my go-to for a quick get-away. You’ll end your boredom streak and come back feeling lighter after having a little bit of fun for a weekend.

2. Plan a family weekend

Hanging out with the fam is always my favorite thing to do. Plan a trip to visit them or have them come spend the day with you wherever you are.

3. Go fishing

If you’re a big outdoors person like me, fishing is a great way to spend the day. Even if you think sitting there waiting on a fish is boring, it’s better to be bored sitting outside at a beautiful location than at home.

4. Take in a new hobby

This could be anything from learning to play an instrument or my favorite: painting even though you’re no good at it.

5. Go to the zoo

Because what’s better than seeing all kinds of adorable animals?

6. Go hiking

If you’re stuck in MHK for summer, the Konza would be a great place to spend a summer day. If you’re not into hiking, try a walk around the park.

7. Get together with friends and take fun pics

Take advantage of the nice summer weather while it’s here. Grab some friends and head to the prettiest place you know and take some pics.

8. Buy a pizza and go to the park on a late-night picnic

Anything involving pizza is always a good idea.

9. Go window-shopping

Even if you have no money, it doesn’t hurt to look around, right?

10. Head to the waterpark or the gym

The waterpark is always the spot to go in the summer. Even if you aren’t a swimmer, laying in the sun getting a tan can be just as relaxing. If you find yourself wanting some indoor activity, hit the gym and make some gains.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
