Barefoot Beginnings

Hello! Karla here. This is the beginnings of Karla and Sharon's barefoot adventures. Not everything will be done barefoot, but that's just how we started off. Barefoot.

In a time where the weather is scorching hot, the sun blaring on your skin, and your skin sticky from sweat, I think it's time to let loose and just walk barefoot. Live free and get rid of those flip flop tan lines. Or even worse: gladiator tan lines. Which I have, by the way.

My weekend was full of relaxation. Saturday was UCI's Wayzgoose in which I enjoyed a drink out of coconut, which is one of my favorite choice of refreshments. Reminds me of the Philippines, actually. Dressed up very hippie-like as a homage to Coachella. I loved my outfit, I guess you can say. Whoo. Sadly, I couldn't go because it was too expensive, but I am definitely going to save up for next here. There is no way I'm missing out next year! I already regret it. Sharon, my fellow barefoot buddy was fortunate to go. But I'll let her tell her about her Coachella adventure.

You know what I love about the hot weather, though? Being able to go to the beach. Especially studying in the beach. There's something about the beach that is just so relaxing and you feel so free and you're just happy to be alive. It also makes me fortunate that I go to UCI. I guess everything does happy for a reason. I always forget that when certain things happy in my life and I feel sad about it. Studying at the beach is a great release, too. Sunday, I spent my day getting hit by waves and reading philosophy while laying out in the sun. It was a stress-free day that I think that all of us need to take some days in our lives. Veryy nice.

Now, for the story of the whole 'barefoot wonders' thing. Sharon and I were walking to class when all of a sudden, her sandals broke. And we still had a long way to go. Plus, we were going to starbucks. She ended up walking to class barefoot, along with the fact that we were late, but that's okay. So anyway, after class, on the way back to the dorm, I had the idea to walk barefoot with her so that she wasn't alone. And that's how the story goes. In memory of our first barefoot adventure:
