Getting glasses is kinda like getting braces in seventh grade. You loved the idea of having straight teeth as an awkward middle schooler, and now you love the idea of actually being able to see. Or, maybe you've had glasses your whole life.

Either way, you'll be able to relate to these 13 struggles:

1. People say, "OH WOW! YOU LOOK SO DIFFERENT!!"

Um, are you trying to politely say I look prettier? Uglier?

2. Contacts are not always an option.

Some people just really can't stick things in their eyes.

3. Laying down is the struggle.

You lay on your side and your glasses smash against the pillow. Guess it's time to lay on your back.

4. You're driving down the road and randomly notice the 3 smudges on your lenses.

Wow. How did they get so dirty?!?! I JUST cleaned them.

5. If you're a girl, you're eyelashes press up against your lenses RIGHT AFTER you put on mascara.

Sigh. Gotta clean them again.

6. People also say, "So, are you, like, a hipster?"

Nope. Just blind as a bat.

7. You forget they're on your face.

You fall asleep with them on. You get in the shower with them on. HAHA.

8. You have to decide if you want to just wear sunglasses or put your sunglasses over your glasses.

I guess you could also wear contacts. But, again, they're not for everyone.

9. When it rains, you're pretty much screwed.

Why hasn't someone invented windshield wipers for lenses??? I mean really.

10. When there's a drastic change in temperature, you're also screwed.

Hello, dorky foggy glasses.

11. You may have been called four eyes once or twice.

Hey, four eyes. Hows it going?

12. You think you look good until you take them off and look into the mirror.

Hello, dark circles.

13. There are very few pictures of you where there isn't a glare on your glasses.

You've pretty much just accepted it at this point.

Yep. I can defintiely relate.
