How the Game Changes After You Stop Playing Living for Game Day I used to measure my life by game day. When you’re an athlete, the entire week builds toward one moment. Your body feels tight, your heart beats faster, and the locker room carries a mix of noise and focus. Music plays while teammates […]
Dining in Style Welcome back! I’m Jacob Fallon with another food review! Today we were supposed to review Great Wall Chinese Restaurant here in Salina, but with scheduling conflicts, I ended up going to Daimaru. So, the Great Wall will be next week!

I’ve lived in the Midwest for all 21 years of my life. Mostly, I have lived in small towns—places with populations under 5,000 people. Rural life is something I have become used to.

For starters, in years previously, Kansas Wesleyan’s Thanksgiving break has always been short, usually only 3-5 days. However, to make up for this, they have […]
Tyler, the Creator, debuted his eighth studio album on October 28, 2024. Packed with unique features and an overarching storyline, CHROMAKOPIA (intentionally stylized in all caps) brings a lot of new and old fans to the table for the artist. Born Tyler Okonma, Tyler, the Creator began making music over a decade ago, while he […]
Recently, I saw a Tiktok of some college age girls at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. It was them standing next to random pieces throughout the museum. The text overlaying the video simply read: “Standing in front of art we could make” Frankly? It irked me beyond belief. Although, yes, the things they […]
I am not from Salina, Kansas, but I attend Kansas Wesleyan University. Originally I am from Deerfield, Kansas. A small town near Garden City, KS, three and a half hours away from Salina.
