The days of sprinting down the street after the ice cream truck are gone. But that doesn't mean we still can't indulge ourselves with some of summer's sweetest rewards. In fact, now that our piggy banks are bank accounts and our sneakers are sedans, we can choose from an array of cold treats.
Homemade Ice Cream
For those of you whose grandparents never made you homemade ice cream, now's your opportunity to experience the homespun dessert. Cold Stone Creamery, 647 Massachusetts St., offers rich flavors such as cheesecake and white chocolate that are custom made for you on the spot.
With any ice cream order. Cold Stone
gives you free goodies to mix in. And with options of brand name candy, nuts and fruits, the possibilities are unlimited. But watch out, with its creamy flavors Cold Stone is not for weak of appetite.
For a lighter but still delectable dessert try Syllas & Maddy's Homemade Ice Cream, 1014 Massachusetts St. With its lighter options a p d... inviting etc anywhere

Kerri Henderson/KANSAN Tad's Tropical Sno offers another option for a cold treat besides ice cream. They serve many varieties of flavored shaved ice such as Tiger's Blood, Margarita, and Tahitian Treat.
great place for a snack with friends.
Custard
For a quick concrete fix, head to Sheridan's Frozen Custard, 2030 W. 23rd St. The fast service and a smorgasbord of goodies makes Sheridan's a great study break destination.
If you've got a little bit more time, try The Cup, 4000 W. Sixth St. A combination custard and coffee house, The Cup is decorated in a modern yet intimate decor, full of fluffy chairs, magazines and art. Although you can customize your own custard, I recommend starting with the Jayhawker, a vanilla custard with blueberries, bananas and strawberries.

Shaved Ice and Slushes
For a taste of Lawrence and heaven, go to Tad's Tropical Snow, 930 Iowa St. Tad's offers more than tasty iceed treats. With its shack décor, it offers a fifties feeling of summertime on the beach.
Unfortunately, Tad's is seasonal and fast-fleeting, so now is the time to grab a flavored ice for less than $2. Stick with an original flavor like Watermelon or try something fiercer like Tiger's Blood. Tad's will close its doors for the summer once the weather gets cold.
Kerri Henderson/KANSAN
Sylas & Maddy's, a local favorite for ice cream, offers more than 20 flavors to tantalize your tastebuds.

Sylas & Maddy's flavor boards displays traditional ice cream flavors like sweet cream and strawberry, but also includes fun flavors like lollipop and key lime pie.

NIGHTLIFE
Planning for party perils and payoffs

Some of the best times for college students are at parties. But throwing them can be an expensive and possibly illegal venture. So here are some rules of the road for throwing a party.
First, try and estimate how many people are coming. The number of people matters almost as much as what type of party you plan to have. You need to know how much liquor to buy and how much room to clear. Most people don't have enough vodka on hand for 200 people.
THE RAGER
With a party this size hide your belongings. People don't care and they will swipe what they can when they are in your house. If it is possible to lock doors and rooms do it. This little tip could save you a lot of money in the long run.
rager, buy lots and lots of beer. It's cheap to buy and it comes in large quantities. Plus with a massive party people are not there to enjoy the beer, they are their to get drunk.
Also, throw the party when your house is dirty, it is the perfect time. Generally you won't know the majority of people showing up to your event and they won't know you, so they have no real need or desire to treat your house nicely. If the house is already dirty you won't have to clean twice.
If your planning on having a 400 to 500 person
