Some people hate them, and some people love them. But I have to break it to you: after wondering what the fuss was about this new-found shoe trend among college students, at the beginning of summer, I went ahead and purchased my own pair of sandals that are near-identical to the Chaco design. I began wearing them to the point where I had them on every single day of the summer semester. I finally understood why these are so popular among college students who have to walk various distances to get from the parking lot to class, sometimes even across campus. Here's why everyone's loving what people call "fancy Jesus sandals."


1. They are super comfortable.


When people say that it's just like "walking on clouds," they're not kidding. You can wear them all day long without having aching feet. The first time I put on these shoes, I was truly shocked by how comfortable they are! Plus their soles have amazing support across your feet especially for those who cannot stand for too long.

2. They are stylish.

They come in so many colors and designs for both men and women alike. Their straps — in which you can choose between single, double and triple straps hugging your feet — come in red, blue, green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, black, all sorts of color combinations and even rainbow! You can even customize them to your fit your likes and needs!

3. They are versatile.

You can wear them with shorts, jeans and even all kinds of dresses from casual to prom (yes, prom). I have worn them to school, the gym, the store, the park, I have even walked up Stone Mountain with them! They are that comfortable.

4. They are a cross between flip-flops and sneakers.

They let your feet breathe without sacrificing comfort and support. They give you the freedom of not constricting your feet such as when you're wearing sneakers and socks, but they also contain the sole and durability of sneakers. On top of that, they give you a great excuse to paint your nails! Whenever you do take them off, everyone will see that you own a pair of Chacos due to their one-of-a-kind tan.

5. They are durable.

They may cost around $100, but they will truly last you a lifetime. You can also find similar designs online or in stores for as low as $40. I have worn them literally all day every day this summer, and they do not seem to wear out anytime soon, even with all of my busy summer activities! So many people call these shoes investments for their durability, comfort and style. Whether you buy the originals or high-quality cheaper versions, you won't regret making this purchase!

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Here are some ideas as to what you can do to get the most out of your Thanksgiving break.
