Five Reasons Owning A Pair Of Birkenstocks Is Better Than Having A Boyfriend

I did not know that my life would be changed forever in March upon my purchase of a Jesus-esque-two strap-suede and leather-sandal. The Godsend, that is also named Birkenstocks, have been touching the souls and soles of women around the world for ages. I have been told love is a strong word, but no other word can express the sensation of owning this heavenly sandal.

Going through relationships with the opposite sex can be hard, impossible really. When in doubt, it is time to go to the one thing that is never a let down, these delightful sandals. With this being said, Birkenstocks are the best companion you can have going through life and here are some reasons why.


1. Your Birkenstocks are always up for an adventure.
Whether it's walking around campus or exploring a new city, your Birkenstocks are molded to your feet and ready to stroll through life with you. These granola sandals are ready to pound the pavement and take the world by storm.


2. They Last Forever
The sad and realistic gamble you take upon getting into a relationship with the opposite sex, is that sometimes the harshness of a breakup is a real possibility. But not with Birkenstocks, these sandals are meant to last. You are guaranteed years upon the investment of these.


3. They comfort you.
Sometimes boys just do not understand. There are things they will never get, but your Birkenstocks know exactly how to make your feet feel their absolute best, which translates to the rest of your spiritual and mental well-being. Let's face it, happy feet equals happy you.


4. There are a variety of them.
Who needs arm candy, when you can have feet candy? Birks come in a variety of colors, strap styles and materials. You may not be able to customize a perfect boyfriend, but you can sure customize your perfect pair of Birks according to your zesty personality or chill attitude. These miracle sandals look good with socks, without socks, in warm weather, and cold weather. Forty degrees and windy? No problem, pair these guys with a pair of wool socks, slide foot in, repeat.


5. Everybody wants them.
The envy of even the most distinguished of shoe connoisseurs, these simple sandals are the perfect shoes for anyone. Owning a pair of Birkenstocks is kind of like an episode of The Bachelor, only everyone gets a rose. Upon your purchase of these shoes, you are sure to get a fair amount of compliments and others who are itching to get a pair of their own. Be prepared to know your local Birkenstock distributor, so you can send these gals on their way to buying a little bit of happiness. I don't know about you, but I don't need a glass slipper, all I need is a pair of Birkenstocks to call my own.


So really, who needs a boyfriend, when you can have Birkenstocks? You are sure to find your sandal sole mate.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
