"If the whole world was blind, who would you impress."- Boonaa Mohammed

Unfortunately, though it's not the whole world, there's quite a bunch of us who actually are. For some of us, they're trendy and for others they're just life changers.

But if you're like me, who refuses to get a laser eye surgery after watching Olivia die in that doctor's office in "Final Destination 5" then you know the struggle...


Here is a list of things people who wear glasses deal with on a daily basis


1. People take you for a completely different person when you take them off

2. Or assume you're blinder than you actually are

3. The transition from cold to warm

Basically.....

4. Face it. Makeup, summer and glasses is not a good combination

5. Not being able to lie down for a nap like a normal person

Seriously though. like why?

6. Cooking and having splashed oil all over them

7. The stereotypes....

Librarian... or nerd... or both.

8. Having people ask you if they can try them on

9. Having to walk around with a soft cloth to clean them at least 20 times a day

10. Rain is your biggest enemy

11. Having to readjust them over a hundred times a day

12. LOSING THEM


... and yet again, regardless as to how much you hate them sometimes, or whether people called you "four eyed" while growing up, you know that you are nothing without them and so you've learn to be cool in 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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

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.

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.
