Basic Shoes of Charleston and What They Say About You

Living in Charleston, you might notice that girls enjoy wearing the same solid four different styles of shoes. Whenever a certain style gets popular, you can find almost every girl wearing them the next day; however, each style tells a different story about the person wearing them. I am going to tell you what BSOC (basic shoe of choice) says about you. Disclaimer: I am not calling you basic, just your shoes.

1. Converse.

My fav. If you find yourself wearing Converse quite frequently, then you've turned in your preppy clothes and jumped on the hipster bandwagon. You constantly surf Pinterest looking for more ideas on how to be more "boho chic," and have a solid collection of flash tats. You might find Converse-wearers at The Dollar -- specifically on Wednesdays -- tearin' up the dance floor. You'll find that white Converse are the most popular, one reason being because they go with everything; the other being nothing looks better than a crisp pair of white shoes with perfectly tanned legs.

2. Jack Rogers.

If you wear Jack Rogers, you are a wine-drinking, Lilly-wearing, brunch-loving sorority girl. You are the epitome of Charleston's "Southern Belle," and are proud to represent the classy crowd of the low country. You do not only have one pair of Jacks, you have five pairs, and are not ashamed of it one bit. You can most likely find Jack Rogers wearers at Midtown singing as loud as possible to the live band playing '90s music covers.


3. Color Nike tennis shoes.

Colorful Nikes: the ultimate "I don't want to dress cute, so I will pretend like I just worked out so people don't judge me for wearing t-shirts every day to class." If you wear colorful Nikes, you enjoy comfort while looking sporty and girly all at the same time. Your Nikes are often paired with an XL sorority shirt, accompanied with norts and a high-pony. You can find these Nike-wearing bombshells at Chipotle maintaining that "sporty" figure.

4. Birkenstock sandals.

If you wear Birkenstock sandals, you do not care what people think about you. You have a hippy, carefree vibe, and are very easy to get along with. You are, most likely, majoring in something artsy, and you enjoy shopping at Earth Bound and Urban Outfitters to fill your closet with endless maxi skirts, flowy pants, crochet crop tops, and flower crowns. You can find these Birkenstock-wearing, free-spirits at Folly Beach enjoying the outdoors and chillin' with their other hippy friends.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
