The Ugly Shoe Trend

Just because it's a trend, you have to go along with it.

The Ugly Shoe Trend
Disney

Is it just me, or have you noticed that the uglier the shoe, the more trendy it is right now? Take a look and see what I mean.

Birkenstocks

These shoes are making an unnecessary comeback. Off brands are producing their own version of Birkenstocks. You can buy them in different colors and even with sparkles!!! That’s a way to really add some flare to these granny shoes.

Chacos

Everyone always raves about how comfortable Chacos are. However, if you ever see someone with new Chacos, their feet are covered in blisters! Is it really worth blistering your feet to break these bad boys in? These shoes remind me of summer camp, and I never saw many trends come from there.

Jesus Sandals


I love Jesus, but not these sandals that took his name in vain! (Don't take that literally). You can thank sorority girls for this one. These sandals run roughly about $10 and are made out of what looks like solid rubber. Nothing makes an outfit look drabber than these shoes. It’s not because they look so cheap, but because they do absolutely nothing for an outfit.

New Balance


Frat guys ... bringing back the “dad bod” and everything that goes with it. You can’t get away with these chunky old tennis shoes without some white crew socks to go with it. Why would you choose to wear these running shoes if you’re not even going to run in them? If you really want to clean up nicely, stop pairing these tennis shoes with polos. You’re welcome.

Chunky Heels


Every time I see these shoes worn, I wait for someone to break an ankle. I only remember seeing Barbie wear these shoes — and that was a long time ago. Nothing is sexy or ladylike if you wear clunky high heels.

Crocs


Thank goodness this trend is dying away. I hear they're super-comfortable, but my mother always told me, “Beauty is pain.” Crocs are no beauty and no exception.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

1. When you've finally found the energy to leave your dorm room and walk into the lib like

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

9 Reasons Why Friends Are Essential In College

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
