10 Reasons Why Glasses Are Not All They Are Cracked Up To Be
Jasmine Gomez

If you are like me, life can sometimes look a little blurry; unless you are wearing glasses. While glasses are extremely helpful, they can also be quite annoying. Wearing glasses are not all they are cracked up to be, especially when everything you do has to be adjusted to fit your perspective. Here are 10 reasons why wearing glasses is not the best thing in the world:


1. Walking to any place where there is relativity high humidity, and having your glasses automatically fog up.

Have you ever gone from nice cool temperature, to a hot and humid temperature and not been able to see? That is what happens when you wear glasses. It is the most frustrating feeling in the world, not being able to see because your glasses are cloudy.

2. Never being able to lay down comfortably.

Watching TV or a movie has never been more uncomfortable when wearing glasses. It seems that most days you either have to suck it up and lay with your glasses sideways on your face, or take them off altogether and not be able to see a single thing on the screen. And to think, all this to find a comfy spot.

3. Never being able to watch a 3-D movie.

Placing glasses over your regular glasses is never fun. Not to mention the major headache you can get from the triple vision.


4. Never being able to completely remove the dirt from your glasses.


No matter how many times you clean your glasses, they never seem to be really clean. Most days, I'm not sure whether that cloud appears really close or if that is another spot on my glasses.


5. Waking up and realizing you can't see.


Again, this is never fun. Waking up in the morning is already a challenge, but waking up and not being able to see clearly? Almost impossible!

6. Having people ask you if your glasses are actually prescription or if it is just for the style.

My lack of vision is not a fashion statement thank you very much.


7. Taking your glasses off for a second, and then being unable to see where you left your glasses.


I literally just put them down, where could they have gone -- oh, I found them.


8. Finding a scratch on your glasses.


It's really hard to focus on anything when there is a giant slash across your line of vision.


9. Finding a new pair of glasses when you discover that your prescription has gotten worse.

Now do I stick with the same style for another two years, or should I try something new?


10. Saying goodbye to wearing sunglasses.


Unless they are prescription sunglasses, you are going to have the sun in your eyes. Of course you could always spend another couple of hundred dollars to get them, but who has the money or time for that?

Glasses are arguably one of the greatest inventions that have allowed us to adapt as human beings. That being said, they are bound to have a flaw or two, or ten.

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.
