10 Times My Glasses And I Don't See Eye-To-Eye

I just want to see for free.

If you wear glasses you know how difficult it makes life. I've had glasses since the second grade and it's been a pain ever since. Sure it's cool being able to choose new glasses every year but the rest is a downward spiral. Apart from being called four eyes, get ready to relate to these 10 things that you have to deal with when you wear glasses.

1. When they slide off your nose bridge and you have to keep pushing them up.

I don’t know if this is an universal problem or just me, but it is so annoying.

2. Walking in the rain.

It is THE worst when you walk through the rain like this:

3. Taking pictures.

You either take your glasses off and guess where to look, or take the risk of the weird glare that will show up in pictures.

4. Driving when it’s sunny.

This is a whole process. You need to buy prescription sunglasses and then when you realize the sun is in your face, you strategically switch your glasses out with your sunglasses while driving without getting into an accident.

5. In the shower.

How does one function when shaving if you can’t see your leg?!

6. Drinking a hot drink.

That feeling when you take a nice warm sip and then your glasses fog up.

7. Dirty glasses.

There’s always some type of smudge on these things and once you clean them, it’s dirty again within a second!

8. When going out.

If you wear contacts, you need to strategize if you will need your glasses with you because the last thing you want is to take out your contacts AND have no glasses.

9. Buying glasses.

We’re essentially paying to see. Some people get to see for free. That must be nice.

10. Trying to lay down and watch TV.

It just hurts and is NOT comfortable. You spend half the time trying to get into a position where your glasses will not stab your face while still being able to see the screen. Maybe we do need this pillow...

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?
