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.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
