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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
