Dear Chacos,

I never was a sandals person; the “flop-flip” sound of flip-flops have never appealed to me. I always preferred wearing running shoes or nothing at all! However, my mother always scolded me when I went outside barefoot because I’d be tracking dirt into the house. I self-identify as a child of the sun, with summer being my favorite season. I am as free as a warm breeze, and as careless as waves crashing onto a beach. A true PNW woman of the earth, who constantly had the whitest feet in the world because I always went out adventuring with both socks and shoes on.

All of this changed when I was introduced to Chacos, built to perform in style. The cute designs and secure, adjustable straps! No more “flippity-flop.” I can effortlessly slide my foot into these sandals, with my toes, for the first time ever, getting to experience the beauty of summer months with me. Never before have I been able to spontaneously jump into rivers, hike up steep mountain sides, and have the comfortability and style that Chacos gives me.

A year ago, I bought my first pair of Chaco Z’s and I have never been happier with a shoe purchase yet. Some people prefer to not get the toe loops. I, however, opt for the toe loop as it fills the need of extra security and less dirty rubbing in between my toes.

As for my white feet? Let's just say I wear my Chaco tan with pride! A remembrance of the day I found my feet's best friend for life.

So thank you, Chacos, from the bottom of my feet to the top of my sun-kissed head.


Love always,

Courtney

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
