It can be hard to choose with so many delicious options.

Since everyone in the Sunflower State is so kind and friendly, you easily make new friends/more people to buy (or make) gifts for.
7. An everyday struggle: Do I sleep in or wake up early to catch the stunning sunrise?

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