11 Things People Who Wear Glasses Know All Too Well
FreakingNews

Growing up with perfect vision, I was in denial when my eye doctor told me in eighth grade that I needed glasses. Because I could still see fairly well without them, I didn't feel like I had to wear them. However, now as a college freshman, I'm starting to regret my decision to not wear glasses as my eyesight has progressively been getting worse. So for all of you who wear glasses (or to all of you who are supposed to but don't), here are 11 struggles we constantly face:

1. The struggle of drinking anything hot

2. ...or walking in the rain

3. The moment when you put them on for the first time after not wearing them and it feels like the world is a whole new place

4. They never stay on your face

5. ...so you're constantly readjusting them

6. Somehow, there are always smudges no matter how often you clean them

7. People constantly ask to try on your glasses

8. And then once they do, they comment on how bad your vision is...

9. When your eye doctor asks you if 1 or 2 is better but you don't see a difference

10. Losing your glasses but not being able to find them since you can't see...

11. Safety goggles, 3D glasses and sunglasses are your worst nightmares #6eyes

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
