I moved from Tallahassee, Florida, to Wichita in December, and I have compiled a list of what I like and dislike about living here so far: 

 

Likes Dislikes
  • Lack of humidity 
  • Sunsets — they are always so vibrant 
  • Pretty fields
  • The “open” feeling (not so many trees)
  • The roads are nice and smooth — no potholes
  • Lack of hills is nice for running
  • How close I am to everything in the Derby/Wichita area 
  • There’s a lot of activities to do and restaurants to choose from
  • Braum’s hamburgers — I had never tried Braum’s before I moved to Kansas and it’s really good 
  • Being centrally located and closer to extended family
  • Dillons — I had never heard a branch of Kroger called this before 
  • The constant wind — I feel like my hair is always a mess
  • The dry skin I always have from the climate 
  • Boring scenery — no beaches, mountains to look at 
  • The rare sun in the winter
  • The gray feeling that I sometimes have when the sun isn’t out 
  • Earthquakes 
  • Threat of tornadoes
