Unpopular Opinion: I Hate Chacos

Yes, it is true. I am one of the few, the proud -- the Chaco haters. I will never understand this weird fad. Monograms? I got with it after a little bit. Lilly? Yeah, I was obsessed with it as a freshman, too. Wearing glasses with no prescription because you think they look cool? More power to ya. But I just cannot shake this one. Maybe it's because I am the least "crunchy/granola" person I know. I guess I should also preface this argument with the fact that I hate feet. I don't like seeing them and I especially cannot stand when people touch me with their feet. So I am very pro whatever shoe will cover up feet. Normally, someone at this point in a rant might say, "but I digress.." No. I do not digress. I will continue to express my dislike for these "shoes."


This is what I hear...


"OMG your Chox are sOoOoOoOo cute!"

Hahahaha -- oh, wait you're serious? Are we looking at the same thing? You really think those chunky, strappy, weird things you call shoes are cute? Now you've got me laughing for a whole new reason!

"Look how cool my Chaco tan lines are!"

I'm just going to stop you right there. Repeat what you just said and tell me you can honestly say weird lines on the tops of your feet are cool. They just look silly, especially if you are wearing nice shoes like heels. This one might just be a jealousy thing, though, because the tops of my feet are the only part of my body that, unfortunately, never get tan.

"My Chox are so comfy!"

False. I have had many friends complain about how their Chacos rub blisters on their feet. And they are so chunky you just look silly walking in them, like you are wearing clown shoes or something. Actually, keep wearing them because it will give me a nice laugh.

I know of one other person who shares my dislike for Chacos, and that's my roommate Courtney. She understands and agrees with me! If you disagree, which most of you will, too bad. If you think I am being harsh, deal with it. I am entitled to my own opinion, which will always be that I hate Chacos. Chaco haters unite!

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.
