Croctober

Hello to my loyal fanbase-

I would like to start this post off by apologizing. One year ago I promised you all a two part croc post after Halloween, and I did not deliver. I could list off a bunch of reasons as to why I failed you, but I won't. I've decided I'm just going to start fresh and try to recap my year as best I can.

After Halloween Crocking Part 1, a few things happened. Mariah and I won our school's costume contest, and received SO MUCH candy. It was crazy. Mariah ended up leaving her croc at school for probably a month, and I got yelled at because a teacher thought it was mine. SMH. I posted our photos all over the place. I figured after all the time we put in, I'd be able to get a free pair of crocs. But boy, this was a lot more work than I thought it would be.

We both posted on Instagram. I also posted on Facebook and Twitter. Crocs only LIKED my tweet, whereas they were retweeting other (and less creative) costumes from that day. I was furious. So I sent customer service an email relaying my disappointment, and soon after, I received a DM from crocs asking me my color preference and shoe size. Mariah and I received our free pairs of beautiful white crocs soon after.

These white crocs are fantastic -- the classiest shoes I own. I refuse to put jibbitz in them, until maybe my wedding, where I hope to get real diamond jibbitz. Maybe instead of a ring I'll get proposed to with a diamond jibbit. THAT would be freaking cool. Or both...I'd accept both.

This summer, I wore my crocs constantly...duh. I traded jibbitz with people. My amazing co counselor kindly gave me some of her jibbitz so that she could "start fresh." One camper traded me a metal millennium falcon (!!!!!!) for a Peppa pig. Like?????? I really finessed that deal.

Binghamton contains an incredibly vibrant community of crockers, which is what I've been most impressed with. I see people all around wearing their crocs. Not many are #rockingwhitecrocs. But that's ok. They'll get there. My suitemates have been rocking crocs constantly, and I'm so proud of them. I went on a campaign one day to advertise that crocs were 50% off, and many people on my floor purchased some...even my RA (shoutout @Jaryd)

I'm disappointed to say that Crocs have ignored my many attempts to advertise for them #sadtweet but it's fine, I'm fine. I'll get there too.

Anyway, I don't want to bombard you all with more details, but I would just like to say that I'm happy to be back. Blogging about my crocking life. Let me know if you have any ideas for new posts.

Happy Croctober!
