8 Reasons You Should Own At Least One Pair Of Birkenstocks

Birkenstocks have become more and more popular within the past few years, and I must say I could not be happier. Whether it’s summer, fall, winter, or spring, Birkenstocks are literally always my go-to-shoe. Sure it’s an opinion that they’re the best shoe ever, but let’s be real - who on earth would hate this shoe?

1. They are literally the easiest shoe to accessorize with:

You can wear them with jeans, shorts, capris, sweats, literally everything! There are so many different colors and styles to go with every single outfit known to man.

2. Even if you only have one pair, there are still so many options you have.

Whether it’s socks or no socks, you’ll still be stylin’.

3. That arch support though--


Call me a weirdo, but when you can find a shoe that aces every single category including arch support, you might as well sign me up! It’s so courteous of them to think that much of our arches.

4. Also, they form to your feet! I REPEAT: FORM TO YOUR FEET!

How cool is that? Once you’ve worn in your Birkenstocks, there is no lie when saying that they were literally made for you because they were! The leather forms to your feet, allowing for maximum comfort.

5. Having fake Birks is basically just waiting for someone to call you out as a poser.


Okay, most likely no one will say anything to you, but look at how much more Birkenstocks do for your feet (see points three and four). Fake Birkenstocks do none of that; impostors also have low traction, like come on…

6. If you’re crazy enough, you’ll turn them into a year round shoe

Rain or shine, sleet or snow, you’ll probably be finding yourself wearing Birkenstocks despite the weather. Oh no, my feet will freeze in the snow?? Who cares, ‘cause Birkenstocks.

7. You’ll find yourself wanting to wear them everywhere despite the occasion.

I’d be lying if I told you that my friends didn’t have to tell me I can’t wear Birkenstocks during certain events. This includes things such as hiking in three-foot tall snow or the simple “fancy” occasion - they just don’t understand the Birks lifestyle.

8. At the end of the day, you’ll probably feel better just leaving them on

Let’s be real, they’re probably better than your actual feet…

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.

Cambio

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
