5 Things That Are True When You Are A Sock Enthusiast
Nike Talk

Everyone has something they love so much that they just have to start a collection. Whether it be coins, movies, bottles of wine or Beanie Babies, almost everyone has something that they collect. For many people, myself included, socks are a collectible. Here are just a few of the things that hold true when you are a sock enthusiast like me:

1. You can never have enough

This may be true for any collector or enthusiast, but it is especially true for socks. No matter what store I end up in, the first thing I look for is socks. No matter how many times as I haven't discovered a new pair at the grocery store I will always check every aisle just to make sure. At this point a lot of people would say I have more than enough socks, seeing that I can go for at least two months without ever wearing the same pair twice; but, every pair of socks in my collection serves their purpose and some are more useful for certain occasions than other socks. This brings me to my next point...

2. You have socks for every occasion

This is probably the one that holds most true. With so many different holidays and events, there are socks to go with each one. Going to watch the big game? There's socks for that:

You probably can't read it, but these socks feature bears that are waving flags which read: "Go" and "Team." Trust me, I own these socks, and they are great for cheering on any team at any time. But perhaps you have a specific team that you want to cheer for. Don't worry, there are socks for every sports team that ever existed, though you only buy the ones for your favorite team:


However, sporting events aren't the only special occasions. If you were like me this Valentine's Day, you made up for being single with your socks:

These socks aren't just for Valentine's Day either. If you go out to the club or a party, "Check Me Out" socks are great for letting everyone know you are single and ready to mingle, not to mention that they make a great pun. Then, of course, there are socks for different seasons:


There are many more occasions and events, each with a relevant pair of socks, but for now let's continue with the list...

3. You don't mind getting socks as a gift

Remember when you were little and getting clothes were the worst thing ever? Well now you have something to look forward to when unwrapping presents. At this point it is easier to tell friends and family which socks I don't have rather than show them all the socks not to get me.

4. You have a favorite brand

For me, it's Mossimo. Every few weeks they come out with a new collection available at Target. Half of the socks I've shown so far in this article are socks made by Mossimo and I do, in fact, own all of them. There are many other companies that make socks such as Socks Appeal, Sock Dreams and Nice Laundry, but my favorite is still the one that started it all for me.

5. Money is no object

As a college student, money is most definitely an object. But, when it comes to socks, everything I know about saving money goes out the window. Friends will ask to go out and most of the time my response is: "I don't have the money for that." Yet, I somehow always have the money for socks.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
