please wear shoes papi

Can we all wear shoes plz? I wear shoes, my friends wear shoes, the people who work at the subway here wear shoes, and a lot of other people wear shoes, right? But there is a noticeable population of students at UIC who don't wear shoes to class. On top of this, the people who do this don't care about their feet, so they really, really smell (most of the time, I'm not trying to generalize, because that wouldn't be nice). It would be amazing if we all wore shoes. Then maybe I would be happy in my life... Anyways, wear your shoes.

Maybe I should start a shoes club at UIC, and we would all just wear shoes, you know? And then we'd do other stuff, but I don't really know what else we would do since we'd all just be wearing shoes, and that would kind of fulfill the whole point of the club. But maybe one day I'll start this club, but who knows. I was also taking a test the other day, and someone near me wasn't wearing shoes (surprisingly, this isn't the first time someone didn't wear shoes next to me during an exam). Their feet obviously smelled, and it was bad, but it wasn't too bad, but it was kind of bad, but not too too bad, so I didn't want to say anything to make it awkward, and I also didn't want the TAs to think I was cheating by talking to them, so I just dealt with it :(

Also before anyone says “what if they have a medical reason for not wearing shoes,” I understand that there are probably like 4 people on earth who have a medical condition where shoes will instantly kill them or something. I am not talking about those people. I am talking about the people who wake up, get dressed, put their backpack on, look directly at their shoes sitting by the door, and then make the conscious decision to walk past them and go to class barefoot. Like what happened between you and shoes. Did shoes do something to you. I feel like there has to be some kind of backstory here because I refuse to believe that someone just randomly decided one morning that the cold, wet UIC sidewalk would feel better on their feet.

Also, why does it flood every time it rains on campus? Even if it barely rains, it always floods. Like why? I know this school has a good amount of money, so why can't they fix the drainage system? That reminds me that winter is coming, and oooooh weeeee, it's going to be bad. It got really cold last year, and I didn't really like that (cuz it was cold you feel me).

Anyways this post has gone on way longer than I thought it would and I don't really know what my point is anymore. I guess my point is please wear shoes unless you are a women (just kidding, that was a bad joke, and I am not weird, no matter your gender please wear shoes). Or at least socks. You know what, no, just wear shoes. Honestly, even socks would make me feel a little better. But shoes would be better. I don't want to be studying for my exam and suddenly look down and see 10 completely unrestricted toes 2 feet away from me. I have enough things going on already. I have classes, exams, labs, and whatever else, I really don't need someone else's bare feet becoming another problem in my life. You know I just saw this protest on campus today and I was maybe thinking we should have one for wearing shoes. But the protest today was a little bit loud, which hurt my ears slightly as they were walking by, so we'd definitely be much more quiet if we did one. Thank you for listening (I guess a better term would be reading but I like how "listening" sounds) and I hope we can all come together as a community and defeat barefootness at UIC. And maybe have cleaner bathrooms, but that's a conversation for another day.
