The Pros And Cons Of Wearing Glasses
http://fwallpapers.com/view/kitty-glasses

Although not everybody wears them, glasses are a major part of life to those who have them. Some people see glasses are a necessary evil, and others see them as a fun and necessary accessory. There are always times where glasses make life just a little bit harder, but that doesn't mean they're all bad.

1. Smudges and/or scratches.

No matter how many times you clean them, there's always smudges and/or scratches in your field of vision. No matter what you do, smudges and smears somehow appear on our glasses. This leads to constant cleaning of your glasses, which either make the marks less visible, or make them spread more across the lens. If you're a clumsy person (some-what like myself) chances are you'll drop your glasses a few times, earning a few scrapes to your lenses. (Those won't be as easy to get rid of.)

2. Cute outfits.

Glasses can make just about any outfit cuter. Wanna wear sweat pants and jackets for lazy days? Cute sweaters and skirts? Casual T-shirt and jeans? Add glasses for a more endearing look.

3. 3D movie inconveniences.

Everyone knows the classic glasses-on-glasses scenario when it comes to 3D movies. Unless you have contacts or plan on not clearly seeing the movie, you'll have to double up on the glasses for a few hours.

4. Built in sunglasses.

You won't ever have to worry about packing sunglasses for a sun-filled vacation or for a day at the park if you have transition lenses. One step into a bright setting and you won't be bothered by the sun's blinding rays. You won't have to save up to buy over-priced sunglasses, and you won't need to wear two pairs of glasses (as previously mentioned in the movie scenario).

5. Losing them or forgetting them.

I've personally never had the problem of losing or forgetting my glasses somewhere, but I know many people that have. How can you possibly find the thing that helps you see when you can't even see while looking for it? It's one of those situations where the universe probably isn't on your side.

6. Looking sophisticated.

Glasses tend to give people the impression that you're a highly intelligent person. I myself am not sure why, but for as long as I've known, glasses create the idea that the person wearing them is a knowledgeable being. Although they may not be as smart as others may think, it's usually never a bad thing for others to see you as being a smart person. You never know, you might feel smarter, and you also might gain more self-confidence while wearing glasses.

Big, small, thin, thick, wide, or narrow, glasses are glasses. Whether you chose to wear them, wear contacts, or don't wear them at all, glasses aren't as bad as others may say they are. They aren't always a walk in the part, and some people who wear them might even despise them. Glasses were intended to help others improve their vision, whether you chose to use them of not is up to you, but if the only thing stopping you from wearing them is not wanting to deal with minor problems or being self-conscious, glasses aren't as big of a deal as people may make them.

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.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. 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.

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
