Five Reasons Owning A Pair Of Birkenstocks Is Better Than Having A Boyfriend

I did not know that my life would be changed forever in March upon my purchase of a Jesus-esque-two strap-suede and leather-sandal. The Godsend, that is also named Birkenstocks, have been touching the souls and soles of women around the world for ages. I have been told love is a strong word, but no other word can express the sensation of owning this heavenly sandal.

Going through relationships with the opposite sex can be hard, impossible really. When in doubt, it is time to go to the one thing that is never a let down, these delightful sandals. With this being said, Birkenstocks are the best companion you can have going through life and here are some reasons why.


1. Your Birkenstocks are always up for an adventure.
Whether it's walking around campus or exploring a new city, your Birkenstocks are molded to your feet and ready to stroll through life with you. These granola sandals are ready to pound the pavement and take the world by storm.


2. They Last Forever
The sad and realistic gamble you take upon getting into a relationship with the opposite sex, is that sometimes the harshness of a breakup is a real possibility. But not with Birkenstocks, these sandals are meant to last. You are guaranteed years upon the investment of these.


3. They comfort you.
Sometimes boys just do not understand. There are things they will never get, but your Birkenstocks know exactly how to make your feet feel their absolute best, which translates to the rest of your spiritual and mental well-being. Let's face it, happy feet equals happy you.


4. There are a variety of them.
Who needs arm candy, when you can have feet candy? Birks come in a variety of colors, strap styles and materials. You may not be able to customize a perfect boyfriend, but you can sure customize your perfect pair of Birks according to your zesty personality or chill attitude. These miracle sandals look good with socks, without socks, in warm weather, and cold weather. Forty degrees and windy? No problem, pair these guys with a pair of wool socks, slide foot in, repeat.


5. Everybody wants them.
The envy of even the most distinguished of shoe connoisseurs, these simple sandals are the perfect shoes for anyone. Owning a pair of Birkenstocks is kind of like an episode of The Bachelor, only everyone gets a rose. Upon your purchase of these shoes, you are sure to get a fair amount of compliments and others who are itching to get a pair of their own. Be prepared to know your local Birkenstock distributor, so you can send these gals on their way to buying a little bit of happiness. I don't know about you, but I don't need a glass slipper, all I need is a pair of Birkenstocks to call my own.


So really, who needs a boyfriend, when you can have Birkenstocks? You are sure to find your sandal sole mate.

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.
