The Beautiful Thing About Birkenstocks

Do your feet feel like they are being cradled right now like a newborn baby? Or that every step you take feels like you are walking on clouds? Do you feel like you are able to walk like you never have walked before? Does life just feel better? If you answered yes to all these things you are probably standing right now, reading this article in a pair of Birkenstocks. You haven't lived until you have slid your feet into the most wonderful pair of shoes you have ever laid eyes upon. Sure, they may be considered "basic" or "not trendy," but you know what? They are the best thing a girl (or boy) could ask for. You may say they look like the shoes Moses wandered the desert in, and to that I respond with yeah, sure they do. They hold up so you can wander the desert for forty years and Birkenstocks not only saved the Jewish people, but humans everywhere. People like to doubt the magic power of the Birkenstocks, but this just means they have yet to try them.

Birkenstocks are a wonderful creation that relax even the most unhappy and tense Kanye West types. Once those Birkenstocks are slipped onto your feet you will no longer be "Bound 2" the pain of uncomfortable shoes. The pain that has haunted your feet for so longer will be "Gone." You will feel like you are much "Stronger" than before, and with your new strength you feel like you can "Touch the Sky." Birkenstocks do take some getting used to, however. They take time to mold to your feet. They need to understand how you work and learn about you. It's like going on a blind date with someone who you are apparently going to "really, really like." At first, Birkenstocks may seem like "the struggle is too real," but in the end you will realize how worth it these Jesus sandals are.

Anyone can wear a pair of Birkenstocks. Old, young, male, female. Anyone. Birkenstocks know how society works, and they have been adapting just like the human species. They have gone through their own evolution to be able to adapt and survive throughout every decade. This is survival of the fittest, and this pair of stylish yet comfortable footwear is surviving. Everyone wants to rock a comfortable yet foot-flattering pair of shoes. My friends do it, celebrities do it, and I even do it as I sit here writing this article, and thus my article is 10 times more amazing, because I am writing it in Birkenstocks. So, really, this time all the cool kids are doing it, and just in this one instance peer pressure is the hip, cool thing. Say goodbye to your Uggs and orange pair of Crocs (I really own those). Yes, even if they have the Jibbets. It's time to embrace a footwear that is fun and flirty. Wear them around when you're just chilling or when you're going out for a night on the town with your gal pals. Let us actually take the #Dontjudge and apply it to Birkenstocks. If you're on the red carpet: Birkenstocks. If you are going to a fancy restaurant: Birkenstocks. If you are trying to impress that cute boy from across the coffee shop: Birkenstocks. Let us HAIL the Birkenstocks as ruling fashion throughout the world. Let us fly flags in the air with pictures of this fabulous footwear. Let us only sell Birkenstocks at shoe stores and no other types be permitted. Finally, let us watch the MTV video awards as Kanye interrupts Taylor Swift to tell us that "he is going to let her finish, but she should be wearing Birkenstocks right now."

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.

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.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
