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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
