6 Reasons Why Flip Flops Are The Choice Summer Shoe

1. They are easy to slip on.

Who doesn't like the ability to get things done in a timely manner. For those in a hurry, leaning down to tie a shoe can be annoying and time consuming. Flip flops don't have laces like tennis shoes and only require the smallest amount of effort to slip them onto your feet. Being a college student with a busy day, the luxury of having flip flops will help you get out the door in a timely manner.

2. There are no sweaty feet.

Unlike socks and sneakers, flip flops give your foot a chance to catch some air. Our feet are not meant to be bundled up tightly in a shoe. This can increase the risk of foot fungi growing. We are especially prone to this during the hot summer months, because the temperatures provide the right conditions for smelly foot organisms to grow.

3. They come in endless colors and styles.

A big dilemma when choosing an outfit is trying to find the perfect shoes that will go with it. Flip flops are the flexible shoes that come in a multitude of colors and styles to fit any summer occasion.

4. They are generally inexpensive.

Flip flops are generally no more than $10. They don't drain the money out of your bank account and you can buy a color for every day of the week, or save your money to buy something that you truly need. Flip flops are the most cost effective, warm weather shoe for any college student.

5. They wash easily.

Having shoes that wash easily is always helpful, but especially when you are working around the house. Foam flip flops in particular make the perfect shoe for someone who is painting, gardening, or getting dirty anywhere around their home. You can wear them indoors or outdoors, and clean them up with a little bit of soap and water.

6. They show off a new pedicure.

Summer time is the best time to show off your fresh and cute pedicure. What better way to do it by wearing colorful flip flops? Plus, you won't ruin the polish on your toes because the top of your shoe won't rub against them. Prepare to be complimented on the lovely peach pedicure you have.

Flip flops are hands down the most inexpensive, convenient and comfortable shoe that America has to offer for your summer time activities.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
