In college, we do a lot of walking. And by a lot, I mean A LOT. Especially if you go to a big school.

So, if you’re doing a lot of walking, you probably need some good walking shoes. While sneakers may seem like the most obvious answer, you can never underestimate the power and functionality of Birkenstocks with socks. Birks and socks will be your go-to support system all year round, and they will RARELY ever let you down.

I know not everyone is a fan, but hear me out here on why Birks and socks is the best combination for walking around college.

1. It's unique.

Very few people actually have the guts to wear Birks and socks. Most shy away for fear that others will judge them, but if you can get over this fear, you will never turn back.

2. It's a great way to express your personality.

Visibly funky socks are one of the easiest ways to express your individual personality. There are millions of cool pairs of socks to choose from and there’s surely a pair that suit you extremely well, and if they’re visible, they will most certainly spark conversation with anyone around you. Cool socks AND free friends, am I right?

3. They're functional.

This combo is just so easy, how could you say no? Walking to class? Birks and socks. Going out? Birks and socks. Going to buy your third iced coffee of the day? Birks and socks. Game night? Birks and socks. The possibilities are truly endless.

4. They're comfortable.

It’s basically slippers. Socks and sandals might as well be slippers, and why wouldn’t you want to wear slippers around campus? Birks and socks are way more acceptable than slippers but they are equally comfortable so...

5. They go with anything.

Birks and socks work with absolutely any outfit, for sure. You can dress them up or down, and when in doubt, just throw on some Birks and socks.

6. They work in almost any season.

While probably not the most practical in rain or a few feet of snow, Birks and socks will, however, work when it’s hot or cold outside. All that you need to do is change the thickness of your socks. Sheer to fuzzy, this look can cover it all.

7. You join an exclusive club.

There are plenty of people who wear Birks with black or white Nike socks, but they are not part of the true club. They are fake fans. The real club is for people who wear really cool socks and Birks all over college all of the time. And we all have a secret connection that no one else can share.

8. Socks

If you are looking for a new hobby, get into funky socks. You won’t regret it.

9. Just because

If I haven’t convinced you yet, just do it because you can. Birks and socks will no doubt positively contribute to your college experience. Some days, looking forward to putting on your Birks and socks will be the best part of your day.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
