My Frustration With Trying To Buy Yeezy Boost 350's

The story of my struggles at trying to buy a very popular Adidas sneaker.

My Frustration With Trying To Buy Yeezy Boost 350's

Last week's article was about shoes that you can buy very easily in almost any department store or shoe store. However, now I will discuss the problems with a group of shoes that I have had a personal struggle to get (and have failed). This shoe line is called "Yeezy".

Looks like a very simple shoe right? Should be only 100$ max? Well, that is wrong.


These shoes above retail for $200 plus tax and you are lucky if you are able to get them at that price. These shoes go on sale at a few stores in each area and online on the Addidas website. However, they sell out within seconds as the shoes are released in such small quantities. The demand for the shoe is through the roof and causes the website to crash when so many people try to add the shoes to their cart. When a couple of seconds have gone by you eventually realize that the shoes have sold out and all of them are gone. Your chances are over, you might think. That's wrong again. You can still get a pair but at a different price this time.

An authentic pair of shoes is available for resale. They selling on eBay and start at about $750. Some rare sizes go for about $1500 which is crazy for a shoe that is supposed to cost $200. However, if you want them this bad then it's the price you have to pay.

I think that these shoes are so popular that they should be able to be bought by many people. No one should have to pay $500 or more extra on top of retail for a sneaker. These shoes should have one or two rare versions but overall the line of shoes should be widely available to the public. The release of shoes should involve replenishment and sales in stores nationwide instead of a couple seconds of hope in getting a rare shoe. I will continue to try my luck at getting a pair of Yeezys in the meantime through the conventional way. However, I hope in the future much more pair come out that don't resell for much more than their worth.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
