10 Struggles Of Wearing Glasses

Your worst enemy, but your forever friend.

I have been wearing glasses since I was six years old. There is not a day I don't remember wearing my glasses every part of the day for the last 15 years. If you have glasses you might understand that there are positives and negatives to wearing them. Here are 10 negatives that come along with wearing glasses.

1. Showering while blind

If you wear glasses while showering, the lenses get foggy and water drops. You constantly have to worry about whether you are putting shampoo in your hair, or shaving cream.

2. Raindrops on your lenses

The minute you get out of the rain, you have to wipe off your glasses; if you don't there will be water spots for days.

3. Trying to find your glasses after dropping them


Waking up without being able to find the glasses that your pillow knocked onto the floor. Possibly having to get a third party to help find them.

4. Finding sunglasses that are cute and fit over your glasses


In the sunlight, you are either blinded by the light, or wearing glasses over your glasses. There is no winning.

5. Trying to keep your head above the water while swimming

If you go swimming, do not even think about putting your head under the water. You can either swim with your glasses, or worry about swimming with the unknown, your choice.


6. When you realize you haven't cleaned your glasses

Having friends tell you that there is something on your glasses is embarrassing, but them not telling you is worse.

7. People making assumptions about your personality

"You're such a nerd!" Oh, I'm a nerd because I can actually see. Interesting.

8. Waking up not knowing where you are

You have to immediately put on your glasses after waking up, or your whole day will be thrown off.

9. Annoying indentations on your nose

Those indentations on your nose that are always there, and always will be.

10. Your constant companion

If you don't have any friends, at least you have your glasses.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
