I have been wearing glasses since I was six years old. There is not a day I don't remember wearing my glasses every part of the day for the last 15 years. If you have glasses you might understand that there are positives and negatives to wearing them. Here are 10 negatives that come along with wearing glasses.

1. Showering while blind

If you wear glasses while showering, the lenses get foggy and water drops. You constantly have to worry about whether you are putting shampoo in your hair, or shaving cream.

2. Raindrops on your lenses

The minute you get out of the rain, you have to wipe off your glasses; if you don't there will be water spots for days.

3. Trying to find your glasses after dropping them


Waking up without being able to find the glasses that your pillow knocked onto the floor. Possibly having to get a third party to help find them.

4. Finding sunglasses that are cute and fit over your glasses


In the sunlight, you are either blinded by the light, or wearing glasses over your glasses. There is no winning.

5. Trying to keep your head above the water while swimming

If you go swimming, do not even think about putting your head under the water. You can either swim with your glasses, or worry about swimming with the unknown, your choice.


6. When you realize you haven't cleaned your glasses

Having friends tell you that there is something on your glasses is embarrassing, but them not telling you is worse.

7. People making assumptions about your personality

"You're such a nerd!" Oh, I'm a nerd because I can actually see. Interesting.

8. Waking up not knowing where you are

You have to immediately put on your glasses after waking up, or your whole day will be thrown off.

9. Annoying indentations on your nose

Those indentations on your nose that are always there, and always will be.

10. Your constant companion

If you don't have any friends, at least you have your glasses.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
