Barefoot in the Library

by Tania WL

I'm a college student, and I go barefoot to school on most days. The only days I wear flip flops are when I have yoga class (which is on Tuesdays and Fridays) as we have to have clean feet. Yeah, my feet get pretty dirty by the end of the day from walking around campus.

barefoot studentI love our college library as it's a great place to study and to rest. They have benches with soft cushions where you can lie down and relax or even sleep. I often take a power nap in between classes in the afternoon which is great cos when I wake up I feel really refreshed, especially when I've been burning the midnight oil.

One day I was doing just that. I was lying down on one of the benches taking a nap with my dirty bare feet hanging over the edge for everyone who passed by to see. Some would be turned on, some would be disgusted, so what! lol.

I woke up after about 20 minutes and sat up. There was a guy sitting at the table across the aisle looking at me. He quickly looked away as I looked at him. I bet he had been eyeing my bare feet the entire time I was sleeping. I just know his type, lol.

I put my legs up and sat cross-legged so one of my dirty soles was partially visible. As I was straightening my hair I noticed that the dude was looking my direction again. So I glanced at him and smiled. He was caught a little off-guard. He smiled back but quickly looked down at his book on the table.

I had about 20 minutes before I had to walk over to my next class, so I sipped my cold orange juice (ahh...that felt so good!) and started reading my lecture notes. Then I received a text message from my boyfriend. I giggled as I read it. Sorry, I can't share with you what it said though, cos it was...uh...X rated hahaha! <blush>

At that moment the guy across was looking my way yet again. And like the previous times, he quickly looked down as our eyes met. That actually made me giggle even more. I don't know if he realized that, though.

Now it was time to leave the comfortable library and head over to my next class, so I finished my OJ, put all my stuff in my backpack and got up. I looked at my admirer as I walked pass him. He looked up briefly, and I smiled and said, "bye!" I bet he didn't expect that at all, but I heard him say "bye" faintly in reply. I just had the feeling that he was staring at my dirty bare feet as I was walking out of the library, but I didn't look back to confirm it.

So, that was my brief post about one of the interesting things I experienced while being barefoot at school. Hope you enjoyed it.

    Had a similar experience in Starbucks. There was this hot dude who couldn't keep his eyes off me. Unlike your guy, he wasn't shy. He didn't look away when I looked back at him. In fact, he smiled at me first. But too bad, he is much older than me. I would guess he is around 30 which is way too old for me to go out with. But he's really hot nonetheless.

    So before I left I wrote something on a small piece of paper and handed it to him as I walked by his table. He looked a little surprised and I just smiled. I looked at him through the glass window as I was walking outside, and he was laughing his ass off and shaking his head. I giggled and gave him the shaka sign.

    This is what I wrote: "sorry, no phone number, but you're f'ing hot!" And yes, I wrote the F word in full which I didn't here as it's against the rule. Have a magical day, and hang loose! :)

      Hahaha,that's my naughty little sister. She has grown up a little since this story and she's hotter than ever. She's definitely a heart breaker ;) He's probably gonna keep that piece of paper for a long time.

      In case you were wondering about the name, I've been using her nickname "Lynn" all this time when writing about her, but she posted using her real name. So now you know her real name ;)

      The shaka sign is a Hawaiian sign which means "hang loose." Oh, in case you were wondering, she was indeed barefoot at the time, but the guy didn't seem to show any particular interest in her feet.

Magical Barefoot Halloween

Image
by sharleen wl halloween and going barefoot - 2 of my favorite things. the things that make this life magical. i'm in my 20s now and i'm the same free-spirited soul i've been as a kid. only now i'm a bit more independent and i ain't about to let my love for the spooky season or my barefoot lifestyle fade away. in fact these passions have only grown with me. every october my excitement for halloween builds up like clockwork and i start planning my costume well in advance. this year i had the privilege of spending my favorite holiday in a rural area in washington state (like an hour from seattle) visiting emily, a good friend from college. the air is cool and crisp there in october which is really fitting unlike back home where it stays warm. the feeling of stepping barefoot onto the cold autumn ground was heavenly. although hawaii is paradise in many ways, this is something i miss out on. i had decided to dress as a forest fairy, a sort of mystical wanderer who draws

Going Barefoot at School

Image
Girl barefoot at school story Going barefoot to/at school is quite common in some countries like Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and India (see the picture at the bottom of the post). It was also quite prevalent in the US in the old days. A few elementary schools in Hawaii still allow their students to attend school in bare feet. Unfortunately however, most kids today are denied this wonderful experience. So can you blame them for cherishing every chance they've got to go barefoot at school even if only for a brief moment? My little sister Sharleen (nicknamed Lynn) and I went to a private elementary school with a rather strict dress code. We had to wear uniform everyday that included a tie and white closed shoes. White socks had to be worn at all times in the beginning. Being an avid barefooter, I always wanted to be barefoot as much as possible. So I would usually take off my tie along with my shoes and socks on the (city) bus, and walk barefoot home from the bus stop

Another day in the life of a barefoot college student - 4 years later

Another barefoot girl college student story by sharleen wl It was 4 years ago that I wrote "A day in the life of a barefoot college student" so you may be wondering why I'm still in school. Did I continue on to graduate school? Nope. I should've graduated at the end of last spring, but I have to retake a few courses and do some extra work before I can graduate. People tell me I'm too much of a free spirit, a wild child. I really love life, and I guess I've been enjoying it a little too much, and now I'm paying the price. Needless to say my parents aren't happy and they have been giving me shit about it. But hey, at least I didn't quit or flunk out (yet), right? As I wrote in my previous posts, I moved out of my parents' house at the beginning of my sophomore year. I'm living in a small apartment within walking distance from the college campus, and I work a part time job. One thing I cherish is that I'm barefoot 24/7 pretty much.

Barefoot at School Again | in the Principal's Office

Barefoot at school story by Sharleen W.L. Note from Tania: my little sister Sharleen wrote this story and asked me to post it here. She will also be writing the next few articles on this blog. Enjoy! I wish I had gone to one of the public schools that allow students to go barefoot to school. Actually, I almost transferred to one, but for a number of reasons we finally decided against it. So what's a barefoot girl to do? Well, try to go sans shoes at school as often as possible which I did, and this time I got to do it in the principal's office. This took place when I was in elementary school. 4th grade to be exact. One Saturday morning I went out shopping at the mall with my mom and little brother Kevin. As usual I was barefoot. Yeah, in the beginning mom didn't approve of me and my sister going barefoot in public places but she finally gave in and now she's ok with it. As we were walking around in the mall we ran into my school principal Mrs. Scott (not her

Barefoot in public restrooms

by sharleen wl a while back there was a post on reddit by a guy who said he was getting more and more comfortable going barefoot in public. he had gone barefoot to grocery stores multiple times and also to gas stations. but one day he saw another person walking barefoot into a gas station restroom and he thought it was gross and said he couldn't bring himself to do that. so he was asking whether he was right thinking that way. some say there's alot of "ick factor" in going barefoot in public restrooms. so its more like psychological as there's nothing really harmful on whatever you might step on on the floor as long as your sole skin is intact. others say it is indeed gross but you can wash your feet once you get home or you can carry some wet wipes. i had to chime in so this is what i basically said. "its more of a personal choice. like some people (like myself) love walking on mud but others not so much. some love squishing bugs with their bare soles while
