Chacos: either you love them or you think they are the ugliest shoes on the planet. I absolutely adore my two pairs and wear them basically everywhere. I've wholeheartedly joined the "Chaco Nation," but others are still skeptical. But these shoes are just like your best friend, here's how:

1. They Accept You For Who You Are

They accept you for who you are, big monster feet and all. I have always had big feet. I have worn a size 12 since fifth grade. Do you know how many cute, size 12 shoes were available in the 2000s? NONE. I had to wear ugly men's shoes all the time. At one time in my childhood the only shoes that would fit my feet were Crocs. (You read that right, Crocs.) Good news was there was a very short amount of time at my elementary school that Crocs were actually cool. When I first discovered Chacos, I was elated that I could, for once, have the same pair of shoes as someone with a size 7 foot. Chaco's adjustable straps and extended sizes make them perfect for any sized foot.

2. They Don't Discriminate

They don't care if you're male or female. Chacos don't either. They have the same designs available regardless of gender. Are you a male and want some pink and purple Chacos? You can get 'em. Female, searching for a brown and orange solemate? You've got 'em too.

3. They're Up For Anything

They're up for an adventure, or just chilling. Chacos are such a versatile shoe they can be worn almost anywhere. Hiking, swimming, walking to class or shopping, they can do it all. They're easy to clean so go ahead and get them dirty.

4. They Are Diverse

There are so many different colors of Chacos. Every color of the rainbow. You can have neutrals, bright colors, pastels, patterns, anything you can imagine, Chacos can give you.

5. They Lift You Up

They're always there when you're feeling low, Chacos' footbed adds about two inches in height. Although I don't profit from this feature (I'm already six feet tall), other shorties definitely do. Want to look taller and keep it casual? Chacos are your go-to. Chacos also keep you elevated and away from the ground. That mean when it's raining, your feet don't get wet, go ahead and walk through those puddles.

6. They Can Do Both

They go with casual outfits. Rolled up jeans, skinny jeans, t-shirts and tops. They go with sporty outfits. Norts, tanks and headbands. You can even wear them with sundresses. They go with the flow.

7. They Stick With Us Forever

Just like your best friend, Chacos will always be there. They are made to be durable and last longer than most other sandals. If they do have an issue, you can send them to ReChaco Repairs and get them fixed good as new. We can't forget the lasting gift Chacos leave us, especially in the summer: tan lines. They take almost a whole winter to fade and are one of the best parts of wearing a pair of Chacos.

8. They Support You

These shoes are the most comfortable and supportive shoes I have ever worn. I can wear them all day and my feet don't hurt.

9. They Remind You To Treat Yourself

Chacos show your toes (unless you rock Sockos) So they remind you to keep up with you pedicure, because who wants to see your crusty toes? No one.

10. They Are There Through Every Season

You can wear Chacos in almost every season. Spring, summer, early fall, and if you're brave, winter (especially if you have a mild Oklahoma winter). But even if you can't wear them in all seasons, they're anxiously awaiting the next time they can go on an adventure with you. (And chances are, your tan lines are still there too.)

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
