An Open Letter To My White Converse

Every girl's favorite shoe

My Dearest White Converse,

You have a bit of a reputation for being the "basic white girl shoe". I remember sitting in 12th grade Economics, and these two guys were talking about you. They were saying that white Converse are the Springtime UGGs. Although they weren't exactly wrong, you're just so much more than that. The reason you're considered so "basic" is because of how wonderful you are.

I can rock you in the Fall with a flannel...

I can rock you in the Winter with a sweater...

I can rock you in the Spring with a dress...

I can rock you in the Summer with high-waisted shorts...

On top of being the most versatile pair of shoes I own, you are just too comfy. The minute I slip you bad boys on my feet, I know I can conquer the world. Some may wonder why so many girls would invest in an all white shoe. Between dirt and dust at tailgates to beer soaked floors at frat parties; it's a miracle that you don't turn a greenish brown. The secret to keeping you guys so perfectly white, is yet another reason why you're so handy. The minute you guys get the slightest grass stain, all I have to do is throw you in the wash. It's as if you guys are brand new!

I honestly don't know what I would do without you in my life. Thank you for protecting my feet at crowded bars. Thank you for making my legs look extra tan in the summer. Thank you for being comfortable enough to walk 40 blocks in New York City. Thank you for being my go-to shoe all year round.

And lastly... thank you for being so great that even Zac Efron rocks you.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions.

Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
