The Struggles Of Wearing Glasses

Can't live with or without them.

If you have ever worn glasses, you will understand how bothersome they can be. Sure, they can be an accessory for your face, but it comes at a cost. On a good day, they will be something that you cherish--finally you can see! But on those bad days, you wish you had a fairy godmother who could grant you perfect eyesight so you would never have to worry about the baggage that comes with those pesky glasses.

1. Picking the right frames.


Unfortunately, not all of us have the face of a supermodel which means we can't pull off all types of glasses. Finding the right pair is hard especially when you usually only purchase them once a year.

2. Smudges.

When you accidentally touch the lenses of your glasses and you have to go through the pain of taking them off and cleaning them with your shirt. Worse is when you're not wearing cotton and have to wait till your home to clean them and be able to see clearly.

3. Not being able to see in the shower.

What am I even doing in the shower? Body wash for shampoo....not my first time.

4. Sunglasses.

Hahaha forget about them.

5. Sports.

If you're okay with having your glasses slide down your nose every time you break a sweat, more power to you.

6. When people ask to try them on.

"OMG you're blind!" As if I didn't already know.


7. Drinking hot beverages.

Your coffee comes with a side of foggy glasses every time you take a sip.

8. Rain.

ALWAYS CHECK THE WEATHER.

9. Forgetting where you put them in the morning.

That mini-heart attack you get when you can't find them anywhere.

10. Having to get inches from the mirror to put on your makeup.

Does that wing look good from a distance?

But don't worry, because wearing glasses is totally awesome and you'll be rocking them no matter what.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
