Contacts are wonderful inventions. They can help you fix your sight without changing your appearance, unlike glasses. However, they come with their share of struggles that everyone who wears contacts can relate too.

1. Getting your contact stuck in your eye.

The worst pain ever is when your contact is stuck somewhere in the back of your eye socket and you can't find it.

2. Saline solution can be expensive.

Saline solution to keep your contacts clean can cost between 9 and 15 dollars for a good-sized bottle, which can be a struggle.

3. When you forget your saline and contact case on an overnight trip.

Waking up after sleeping in your contacts leads to dry, dry eyes.

4. Trying to insert/remove contacts with long or acrylic nails.

Don't even bother trying to get your nails done if you wear contacts.

5. When your contact falls out and you don't have a case/saline on hand.

Truly the worst case scenario.

6. Putting in your contact inside out.

Yep, more pain.

7. You can't rub your eyes, or else your contact will fold in on itself.

You end up just tapping your eye when it starts to itch.

8. You hoard contact cases, just in case you lose one.

You can never have too many.

9. And finally, getting makeup/smudges all over your contacts.

It happens. Every. Single. Time.

Contacts can be lifesavers, but they can be a pain. What contact-related troubles have you dealt with?

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
