7 Places In Wichita To Eat Ice Cream On A Hot Summer Day
Elyssa Day

I'm typing this article underneath the cool air conditioner in the Edmond Stanley Library at Friends University. Outside, the sun is beating down upon its victims. There is no shadow shady enough to protect us from the sun's intense rays. My thermostat reads 82°F, but with the Kansas humidity, it feels like it could be in the hundreds!

Thank goodness for ice cream!

Although I've only lived in Wichita for a couple years, I have discovered many amazing places that serve ice cream! From classic vanilla cones to unique specialties, Wichita has it all!

1. QuikTrip

Did you know an ice-cream cone from Quik Trip only costs 49 cents? It's a great deal, considering how tall they make them, too!

2. Braums

A Central Midwest classic, you can never go wrong with Braums! They're always rolling out new ice creams for various seasons. Plus, you can shop in their marketplace while sipping on your malt!

3. 8 Degrees Below

This is a new ice cream store to the area, but it's definitely the most unique. Imagine that a Mongolian grill and an ice cream store got together and had a baby. That's exactly what 8° Below is! I love going here and watching them make my ice cream and roll it up!

They have three locations in the area (701 E Douglas Ave, 2929 N. Rock Rd., and 1821 E. Madison Ave. Derby), so if you're looking for a unique experience, be sure to check this place out!

4. College Hill Creamery

I love visiting Clifton Square for many reasons and College Hill Creamery is one of them. They have a relaxing atmosphere and even serve chocolate covered coffee beans! As for their ice cream? They put the "cream" in creamery.

5. Coldstone

If you like large scoops of uniquely flavored ice cream, Coldstone is the place to be! Coldstone is my place to go whenever I feel like treating myself.

"The night is young, the school year's over, and finals are behind us. Let's celebrate with Coldstone!"

6. Yo-B Yogurt and Burgers

Once upon a time, I was a faithful customer of Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt. However, everything changed once I stepped foot inside Yo-B Yogurt and Burgers.

Imagine: twenty yogurt flavor options, a whole wall dedicated to cereals, two bars filled with fruit, candy, other toppings, AND pumps for fudge and caramel? Did I mention you can eat burgers and chicken strips here too?

Guys! This place is the best! If you don't believe me, visit it yourself in Old Town next to the Warren!

7. Sonic

Did someone say half-priced shakes???

Every night after 8 p.m., you can get a shake for half the price! Sometimes, Sonic has specials and deals which allow you to get a half-priced shake during the day!

There you have it! Go visit your favorite ice cream spot today!

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.
