Birkenstocks have recently come under scrutiny on the Internet for arguably being the "ugliest" shoes, but they really don't understand the true beauty of Birks. Jesus Sandals, Potato Shoes... Whatever you call them, they're the most comfortable shoes around!

1. They go with any outfit

No wonder they're so popular. Regardless if your style is preppy, sporty or hippie— you can always find an outfit to go with your fave shoes.

2. Something about those ergonomically shaped soles...

My arches are happy, my toes are happy, my soles are happy... my soul is happy.

3. Socks or no socks?

Whatever you choose, rock 'em proud.

4. They're practically begging for an Instagram story feature

Birks are trending on and offline, so no wonder they're Insta-worthy paired next to a field of flowers or some Athens blocks.

5. They're not Chacos

Talk about bad tan lines.

6. SO MANY COLORS

I officially can't say that I don't have any shoes to go with my outfits.

7. Vegan? They have options!

Yes, most Birks are made of leather, but they also provide vegan leather and rubber slides!

8. Unisex styles mean you can steal ya man's shoes

Add to your shoe collection without spending more money? Yes please!

9. They last FOREVER

There's a reason why the company's been in business for over 240 years. I bought my first pair in 6th grade and they're still going strong.

10, Functionality over everything

It's so nice to not worry about my feet blistering or rubbing the wrong way when I'm walking around campus. These shoes are legit.

11. They're worn by your fave celebs

Kendall Jenner, the Olsen twins, Vanessa Hudgens... countless famous faces have been caught by paparazzi rockin' their 'stocks. Anyone else loving airport style á la Miranda Kerr??

Happy 'stockin!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
