  1. Kansans have to spend an arm and a leg on Christmas gifts.

  1. An everyday struggle: Do I sleep in or wake up early to catch the stunning sunrise?

  1. With amazing college teams like ours, people have come to expect us to always win.

  1. (While traveling out-of-state) “Do you have a feeling you aren’t in Kansas anymore?”
