8 Reasons You Should Own At Least One Pair Of Birkenstocks

Birkenstocks have become more and more popular within the past few years, and I must say I could not be happier. Whether it’s summer, fall, winter, or spring, Birkenstocks are literally always my go-to-shoe. Sure it’s an opinion that they’re the best shoe ever, but let’s be real - who on earth would hate this shoe?

1. They are literally the easiest shoe to accessorize with:

You can wear them with jeans, shorts, capris, sweats, literally everything! There are so many different colors and styles to go with every single outfit known to man.

2. Even if you only have one pair, there are still so many options you have.

Whether it’s socks or no socks, you’ll still be stylin’.

3. That arch support though--


Call me a weirdo, but when you can find a shoe that aces every single category including arch support, you might as well sign me up! It’s so courteous of them to think that much of our arches.

4. Also, they form to your feet! I REPEAT: FORM TO YOUR FEET!

How cool is that? Once you’ve worn in your Birkenstocks, there is no lie when saying that they were literally made for you because they were! The leather forms to your feet, allowing for maximum comfort.

5. Having fake Birks is basically just waiting for someone to call you out as a poser.


Okay, most likely no one will say anything to you, but look at how much more Birkenstocks do for your feet (see points three and four). Fake Birkenstocks do none of that; impostors also have low traction, like come on…

6. If you’re crazy enough, you’ll turn them into a year round shoe

Rain or shine, sleet or snow, you’ll probably be finding yourself wearing Birkenstocks despite the weather. Oh no, my feet will freeze in the snow?? Who cares, ‘cause Birkenstocks.

7. You’ll find yourself wanting to wear them everywhere despite the occasion.

I’d be lying if I told you that my friends didn’t have to tell me I can’t wear Birkenstocks during certain events. This includes things such as hiking in three-foot tall snow or the simple “fancy” occasion - they just don’t understand the Birks lifestyle.

8. At the end of the day, you’ll probably feel better just leaving them on

Let’s be real, they’re probably better than your actual feet…

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.
