12 Struggles Of Impaired Vision

"How many fingers am I holding up?"

I've been dealing with glasses and contacts for a grand total of 12 years, so I like to think of myself as a bit of an expert. Here are a few things that make me struggle through daily life.

1. When it rains.

Maybe someday they'll invent windshield wipers for glasses.

2. Dealing with anything warm.


3. Or temperature changes in general.

Winter. Just all of winter.

4. Trying to lay on your side.


5. That loose pair that keeps sliding down.

That's cool. I totally wanted to look like a grandma today.

6. Or they fall off completely and you pull a Velma.

"My glasses!"

7. "How many fingers am I holding up?"

I've got a finger in mind for you, pal.

8. Attempting to apply makeup while blind.

Pointy things and impaired vision...what could possibly go wrong?

9. Trying out contacts.

Time to get up close and personal with your eyes!

10. Accidentally putting them in inside out.

11. Hydrogen peroxide solution to the eye looks a little like this.

"No, I'm not on drugs, nor do I have pink eye."

12. Falling asleep with contacts in.

Literally not being able to open your eyes after a nap is always fun.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
