15 Struggles People With Glasses Know To Be True

pexles.com

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.

14 Examples Of Twenty-Somethings #Adulting

#Adulting is hard.

University of Minnesota Twin Cities

Huffington Post

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

Sometimes bigger isn't always better.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Oakland University

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
