I Would Totally Wear Crocs At My Own Wedding, Cold Feet Be Damned

And I know what you are thinking...WHO would wear these?

When prom season rolled around in 2013, I went shopping like all the other seniors. I bought an underwhelming dress because I was anti-prom but still wanted to go. It was pretty and worked for me and everyone said it was perfect and "classic."

But my dress, the thing I thought everyone would get upset over, wasn't what people criticized me for—It was my shoes.

I didn't wear some elaborate heels that would kill my feet by the end of the night, instead, I wore sandals. They were plain black sandals with teeny tiny wedge ends. My friends were outraged. They said I did prom completely wrong. How could I wear sandals? Well, easily, and if I had thought to wear crocs I probably would have.

See, people put so much pressure on what you "should do" and what other people will think of what you are doing. I used to be the same way. I used to freak out if others thought I was weird or not doing it the way it "should" be done. But by 17, I was over what everyone thought. My sandals were comfy and fit my underwhelming dress. My whole outfit fit me as a person. I like being comfy and I like being myself. There is no shame in that.

So, where do Crocs come in?

There are wedding Crocs. Don't believe me? Here they are:


And I know what you are thinking, WHO would wear these?

Me. Well, um, I would. Happily actually because I have the same mentality now as I did for prom (that story had a point). You see, I want to be comfy and honestly, if you have a puffy dress above, no one will even see your shoes, so why risk tripping or blisters on your wedding day?

I wouldn't, so I'd wear Crocs. Just think about how much your feet will thank you and if you are worried about pictures you can bring a pair of real heels and slip them on for the pictures or slip the Crocs on after the ceremony. Either way, you win (though I'd wear them the whole time, that's just me).

I'm just saying, wear Crocs on your wedding day if that'll make you comfy...if you do, please send me pictures, I need inspiration when designing mine.

Wear Crocs on your wedding day if it'll make you happy and comfy. Conformity be damned in the name of comfy feet.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
