8 Reasons You Can't Go Wrong With A Pair of Converse, They Are The Heart And Sole Of My Shoe Collection

Converse are one of the most iconic shoes out there. Created in 1917, there popularity has not diminished one bit. These American made shoes are practical and stylish. You may think converse are too mainstream for you, but I hopped on the bandwagon years ago, and I don't think I'll ever get off. Here are multiple reasons why you should join the converse cult with me and millions of other loyal customers:

1. They are resonably priced

Some Converse sell as low as $39. Of course there are more expensive options, depending on your taste, but a lot of brands like Nike, Puma, Addidas, and Under Armour sell some of their shoes for a sky high price that most people can't afford. We can count on converse for being consistent with their prices, usually never getting above $100. Maybe you can even have more than one.

2. They are easy to clean

My black Converse last through it all! Concerts, muddy grass, rainstorms, sticky beverages, and getting stepped on, they never disappoint. Using a damp paper towel cleans up dirt perfectly. I've had pink Converse and green Converse as well, they served me no trouble either. So, yes, white Converse are super trendy but tend to get really dirty. On the bright side, there are hacks all over the internet informing converse lovers how to immediately rid the stains out of light-colored Converse.

3. They are comfortable

I've never complained about how Converse feel on my feet. I'm only one person, but all of my friends who wear Converse seem to enjoy them as much as I do. I'd wear them to a theme park all day or a baseball game in the city. Either way, they don't kill your feet, especially when you wear the appropriate socks.


4. They're fun

Leather, polka dots, hot pink, purple, green, and rainbow are just some of Converse's fun styled shoes. Think of anything whether that be your favorite superhero or the state flag of where you are from, and I'm sure you can get them designed the way you want to.

5.They can be worn with anything

So, I've seen girls and boys wear Converse on their homecoming night in fancy short dresses and a dress shirt and pants. Brides are even known to wear Converse with their wedding gown! I, on the other hand, just wear them with a pair of jeans and leggings on a regular basis. Wearing black and white Converse give you the freedom to match them with any outfit

6. They can be worn anywhere

Like said above, you can wear them to your wedding or homecoming dance, or you can just wear them to the bars, on a walk, or class, whatever you prefer. They are pretty much acceptable anywhere.

7. They are durable


If you are an adventurous person, Converse won't fail you. People go to concerts, bars, festivals, parties, hiking, and more wearing Converse. It can withstand it all!

8. They are ageless

Babies, children, teenagers, parents...who says Converse aren't for everyone?

Ten Truths Every Honors Student Knows

One of the main reasons I came to Salem State was I was offered a spot in the honors program. While it offered many benefits, scholarships and priority registration to name a few, what drew me in was the strong sense of community and close knit friendships many found. I am glad to say that that I did find these things, and so much more. I found a home made up of some of the most brilliant and most unique people I have ever met. Being in an honors program creates a college experience unlike any other and creates some universal truths that really only an honors student can fully understand.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?
