Why Wearing Slippers In College Is The Absolute Best

I am a college freshman and the whole experience has held a ton of surprises and fun ways to learn and grow. One of the weird shockers, that I did not expect was how much use I was going to get out of my old tan Ugg slippers. I highly recommend the investment because it will pay off and you will not regret it.

1. Wear them on your dorm floor

Whether your walk to the communal bathroom is long or short, slippers are the right call to get from place to place on your floor. If you have to run to the bathroom late at night or get to the get there in the morning to brush your teeth, slippers are the easiest and most convenient choice of footwear.

2. Wearing them in your room

While your room may be a tad bit dusty or dirty it's not always fun to go barefoot. You can slip into them while you study or vacuum in your room, so your feet remain cozy and warm.

3. Wearing them in the morning

Before, you go to sleep set up your slippers beside your bed so that when you wake up your feet can slip right into them. If you have an early morning class, you can walk to your local coffee shop in them (if it's close by) and still feel comfy while you get your caffeine fix.

4. Go to lass in your slippers

Okay, so in terms of college attire, when it comes to classes, people dress rather laid back. I have worn slippers when I have an early or even afternoon class, that I just can't wear my stiff sneakers too. There is no shame or judgment in remaining comfy while in class! In fact, most people are probably doing the same.

5. They are perfect for cold weather

Slippers are especially useful if you attend college in a cold place. The winters at Syracuse can be rather lengthy and I would much rather have a pair of slippers in my closet rather than my flip flops, even if it is just for indoor use.

6. Time saver

This reason is a little absurd. Just hear me out! In college, laziness takes on a whole new meaning in your life and you would be surprised at the things you find yourself doing in order to procrastinate or avoid doing something. However, when you are rushing in the morning, sometimes you just don't have time to untie your shoelaces, slip them on, and tie them once again.

Ugh, the agony! Why go through all of that, when you can just slip on some soft and luscious footwear. Although you have to get out of bed, you can remain somewhat in your sleepy state by giving your feet a comfy cushion.

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.
