Every person that wears glasses for the better part of the day remembers the moment when they found the one pair that changed them into a glasses-wearer forever. You finally felt like you got your life together and that you were ready to conquer the world. Although you love your glasses, it definitely comes with a few struggles.

You know you wear glasses when:

1. You can’t lie comfortably on your side.

I just want to lie down. Is that too much to ask?


2. You start getting little pimples on the side of your nose.

Where did these zits come from? How did you get here?

3. When you lose your glasses and you feel like you have lost your whole identity.

Will people even recognize me without them?

4. You watch people read without glasses and feel physical pain for them.

How do they do it? What magical powers of sorcery do they possess?

5. You spend half of your life letting people try them on.

Oooo can I try? Omg everything looks so different! Maybe I should get glasses, they look good on me!

6. And you spend the other half looking for where you put them.

I swear I put them in the bathroom last night, ugh!

7. You pretend to put them on your pets and laugh at them for looking silly.


You don't need glasses silly kitty!

8. You feel naked without them.

My eyes are naked, please don't look at them.

9. You look back at old photos and cringe at your old glasses your mom picked out for you.

Parents: why???

10. You feel like you can conquer anything when you finally clean the lenses.

11. You notice other people’s glasses and wonder where they got them.

Wow, why didn't I do this sooner?

12. You get excited when your friend has to get glasses.

Ah! Glasses buddies! We can pick out glasses together!

13. Kissing with them on means that they just start poking the other person's face.

Oops, sorry. Sorry. Okay, I'll just take them off.

14. When you forget them at school or work, you mentally check out for the day.

Well, I can't do anything productive now, so bye.

15. You don’t want contacts because your glasses are a part of you.

What do you mean "why don't you wear contacts?" I can see perfectly fine with my glasses.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
