Crocs? In or Out?

Yes, it's happening.

Crocs? In or Out?

If we could time travel back to a decade ago, we would be surrounded by flare jean wearing, Razor scooter riding, MySpace using people. "High School Musical" just made its big debut and everyone is repping their yellow LiveStrong bracelets. Most importantly, Crocs are in style!

What goes around, comes around, people. History repeats itself. Wearing Crocs growing u got you a pass into the in-crowd. Being 8 years old and customizing your own foam shoes was the next best thing. “Jibbitz” were sold alongside Crocs. These were little charms used to stick in the holes of the shoes so you could express your personality.

Good thing for nurses, teachers, and gardeners, their long loved footwear is coming back in style!

Kids weren’t the only ones that enjoyed the foam shoes, adults did too. Men and women wore them because of how comfortable they were and also for their so-called health benefits. Women usually do not hesitate to make sizable investments in fashion, accessories included. So why is there a great influx of cheap and not-so-chic guilty-pleasure footwear?

It's not just your Science teacher that is wearing these foam monstrosities. Celebrities have been photographed in Crocs too.

Crocs made its way to London’s Fashion Week and now everyone is talking about them. For his spring/summer 2017 collection, Scottish designer Christopher Kane decided to pair his avant-garde, funky womenswear with embellished Crocs featuring charms, letters and even colorful crystals.

People are not only wearing crocs, as a statement, they're also getting tattoos. An internet star, Christine Sydelko, got a tattoo of a simple Croc. What a dedicated fan!

Although the hype for these slip on shoes is slowly starting to pick back up, a lot of people feel the exact opposite and find no interest in the hideous foam. Either, you're all in for these bad boys or you're gonna stay away from them as far as possible.


Whether your purpose when wearing these shoes are for high fashion, or just to simply feel a sense of nostalgia, the trend is definitely coming back!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
