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?

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
