10 Struggles Of Wearing Glasses

Your worst enemy, but your forever friend.

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.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
