6 Reasons Why I Unapologetically Love My Chacos
Stowawaymag

You know them, those people that wear their Chacos every day. The ones who wear them with legitimately everything. T-shirts, dresses, blouses, you name it, they wear it. We all know at least one of these people and, quite frankly, I am one of them. I am 100 percent guilty of being a Chaco addict. I got mine three years ago and have worn them ever since. I wear them all the time. Here are a few reasons why I love my Chacos:

1. They're Comfortable

Have you ever tried these things on? The straps are adjustable so that you can adjust them to your feet exactly. These shoes are super comfortable once you have broken them in. They are pretty much like tennis shoes, just without the tops.

2. They're Practical

These shoes are great because they can be worn just about anywhere. Want to go hiking? Chacos. Want to go to the beach? Chacos. Are you walking around campus? Chacos. Staying in your dorm? Chacos. They are perfect for any occasion. You aren't constantly having to change your shoes for different activities and you don't need to buy a ton of shoes. One pair of chaos is all you need.

3. They're Versatile

As well as being perfect for tons of different activities, they also come in tons of different colors, patterns, and styles. I think you can even customize your own. They seriously go with just about every outfit or can be customized to match.

4. They're Supportive

These shoes are crazy supportive. Seriously, I can walk around in them all day and my feet won't hurt a bit. I originally bought them for lifeguarding so that I wouldn't be standing around on flat shoes all day. These shoes made my shifts feel so much shorter because my feet weren't hurting one bit.

5. They're Cute

Okay, there is some debate on this one. As ugly as some people might say Chacos are, I think these shoes are adorable. They may be adorable in an ugly kind of way. One day, I may look back on them and wonder what I was thinking, but for now, I think they're cute. They also make for cute photos and unique tan lines.

6. They're Quality Made

Like I said, I bought these shoes three years ago and still wear them almost every day. They may be a little pricey, but they seriously are worth the investment because you will get tons of wear out of them. Chaco really is a quality brand name and they're worth the the price tag.

So, if you're a Chaco lover like myself, don't feel guilty or ashamed of it! Wear them wherever you want with whatever you want. As long as they make you happy and comfortable, that is all that really matters. For you non-Chaco wearers; I seriously recommend them to anyone and everyone, and you never know you just might become a Chaco addict too. Give them a chance.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
