I starting wearing glasses in middle school (man I found those frames again and #regrets). But throughout my years of wearing contacts and glasses, I have experienced a plethora of annoyances that most people just wont understand. Here are some of the things we glasses wearers deal with daily.

1. When you put your glasses down and can't find them... or think you lose them only to find they were on your head the whole time.


2. Sunglasses are a struggle.

You either face the sun head on, fork out a couple hundred dollars for prescription sunglasses, or play the awkward balancing game with two frames:


3. You're blind in shower (shaving is impossible) and when you go to bed.

Going to the bathroom in the middle of the night is also a nightmare. Even if you do wear them in the shower, you eventually wont be able to see anything through the water droplets anyway.

4. When it rains:


5. When you cooking, drinking something warm, or walking outside into the humidity, your glasses will fog up.


6. Your glasses constantly slide down your nose.

Also, you have permanent nose pad marks on your face.


7. You have to clean your lenses all the time.

Even if you swear you haven't touched them, they are covered in finger prints! Also, wearing non-cotton clothing becomes an issue because your outfit is often you emergency lens cleaner.

8. Picking out new glasses is stressful.


9. Makeup: overdone or underdone, there is no in between.

The glasses either cover the makeup you tried to hard to perfect, or amplify the fact that you are not wearing any.


10. “You look so much better without your glasses!”


11. You have to think twice about activities like 3D movies, swimming, hiking, etc


12. When you forget that you’re wearing contacts and try to put on your glasses anyway... I done it several times.

Or when you're wearing contacts and go to push your glasses up... haha whoops!


13. Laying down with glasses is impossible...

14. You're constantly in a competition with other bespectacled people to see who has worse eyesight.



15. Your prescription keeps CHANGING.



16. And you spend an hour readjusting to the new lenses by bumping into everything and everyone.


17. But in the end, you love your glasses and how you look in them!

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.
