What Your Favorite Pair of Shoes Says About You

What girl doesn't love a great pair of shoes? While most of us have an excessive amount of shoes in our closets, we all have that one pair that's our go-to. What does your favorite pair say about you?


Nike Frees:
Nike Frees are the shoe of choice for all of the girls out there who want to look sporty but cute. Usually can be found on the feet of a girl who, despite her head-to-toe Lululemon ensemble, is wearing a full face of makeup and has perfect hair. Since everyone knows you can't actually work out in Nike frees (unless you want shin splints and blisters on your feet), a girl in Nikes is sporty, but not too sporty. She's a social butterfly who has a lot to get done and just wants to wear some shoes that won't kill her feet as she walks to her 8 a.m. Calc class.


Tory Burch Flats:
A girl in Tory flats is most likely an exec member of her sorority, taking 20 credit hours and president of at least two clubs. Not only does she look like she has her life together, but she actually does. Why does she look so cute for class? Does her hair always look that good? Is it even possible to have that many extracurriculars on your resume? In the end, no one can hate a Tory girl—she's always smiling and the epitome of class!


Converse:
I'm half-positive that almost every girl out there owns a pair of white Converse, making them one of the most "basic" shoes out there. Perhaps it's because of their versatility—there isn't just one type of girl who can be found wearing these. You've got your trendy ladies, who pair their Cons with flowy dresses and Free People bralettes. Then you've got the "basic" gals who wear them with leggings and a sorority t-shirt. And then there are the girls who have been wearing Converse for years. No matter which category you fall into, Converse girls all can appreciate a good pair of comfortable shoes to show off their laid-back attitude.


Chacos:
Worn by camp counselors and sorority girls alike, Chacos are a shoe that I'll never quite understand. Noticeably hideous, a girl in Chacos is not one who cares what other people think about her. She is most likely outdoorsy, and enjoys a comfortable yet breathable shoe that will support her adventurous lifestyle. This girl is used to hearing her friends comment on how ugly her shoes are, but she's confident enough that she doesn't really care.


Riding Boots:
Ah, the classic riding boot. Most likely paired with dark wash jeans, a nice sweater/flannel, and a J. Crew vest. Dubbed as the favorite shoe of preppy, pumpkin-spice-latte-loving, Longchamp-carrying, "basic" girls. Don't judge a girl in riding boots too quickly, though. These girls are classic—they know what looks good and stick to it. A riding boot gal has too many people to see and things to do to fuss with lace-up combat boots or uncomfortable wedges. While you may think that her Lilly planner only supports her "basic" stereotype, just know that it's pages are packed with meetings and mixers that will keep her busy until next Christmas.


Birkenstocks:
Trendy. Hipster. Cool. Free spirited. All words that describe a Birkenstock girl. You might remember when you owned those clog-style Birkenstocks back in the fifth grade and thought you were the coolest person ever, and now they're making a comeback. While Birkenstocks give off a very vegan, earthy vibe, college gals are adopting these shoes into their everyday wardrobe. A Birkenstock girl is ultra-trendy and probably super hipster. She likes to be ahead of the trends—she probably used to prefer white Converse, but because of their popularity spike, she had to try something new.


Wedges
Loved by party girls, shorties and fashionistas, wedges are one of the most versatile shoes out there. Perfect for a night on the town or brunch with the family, wedges do it all, much like the girl who is wearing them. A girl in wedges is confident, outgoing and loves a good party. You'll never find a dull moment with a girl in wedges.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
