We all know this is currently one of the world's biggest debates:

Birkenstocks vs. Chacos.

We all know deep down the Birks are clearly superior, but just in case you don't believe so, here's a couple of reasons why:

1. They're the "OG"

These shoes have been around since 1774 so they are tried and true!

2. The versatile

Dressing up? Birks. Going casual? Birks. Walking around campus? Birks.

3. They're comfortable

They are made to mold to your specific feet, making them so comfy!

4. They're environmentally friendly

They are made with materials that do not harm the environment, how cool!

5. They can be found just about anywhere

Any department store, they're bound to have birks! Chaco's are a little harder to come by.

6. They're durable and last forever

These shoes could last a lifetime I swear.

7. They're classier

They tend to come in more neutral colors and just have a cleaner look so you can wear them with a dress, no problem!

8. They're commonly worn so you rarely get judge for wearing them

Chaco's are very controversial. While wearing them on campus you're bound to encounter judgmental stares and looks of disapproval.

9. You can wear socks with them- if you really wanted to

Hey no judgment here!

10. There's several different kinds and colors

They have recently come out with so many new colors and styles of birks and they're all so cute!

11. You can wear them with a dressy outfit

If you were seen wearing Chaco's with a nice dress, you would definitely encounter some judgment, but not with Birks!

12. Your tan lines will look slightly less ridiculous

We all know that people with Chaco's purposefully keep they're shoes on in hopes of getting that "Chaco" tan line. Why that's a thing? I'll never understand, but that's not something you have to worry about with Birks.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
