I starting wearing glasses in middle school (man I found those frames again and #regrets). But throughout my years of wearing contacts and glasses, I have experienced a plethora of annoyances that most people just wont understand. Here are some of the things we glasses wearers deal with daily.

1. When you put your glasses down and can't find them... or think you lose them only to find they were on your head the whole time.


2. Sunglasses are a struggle.

You either face the sun head on, fork out a couple hundred dollars for prescription sunglasses, or play the awkward balancing game with two frames:


3. You're blind in shower (shaving is impossible) and when you go to bed.

Going to the bathroom in the middle of the night is also a nightmare. Even if you do wear them in the shower, you eventually wont be able to see anything through the water droplets anyway.

4. When it rains:


5. When you cooking, drinking something warm, or walking outside into the humidity, your glasses will fog up.


6. Your glasses constantly slide down your nose.

Also, you have permanent nose pad marks on your face.


7. You have to clean your lenses all the time.

Even if you swear you haven't touched them, they are covered in finger prints! Also, wearing non-cotton clothing becomes an issue because your outfit is often you emergency lens cleaner.

8. Picking out new glasses is stressful.


9. Makeup: overdone or underdone, there is no in between.

The glasses either cover the makeup you tried to hard to perfect, or amplify the fact that you are not wearing any.


10. “You look so much better without your glasses!”


11. You have to think twice about activities like 3D movies, swimming, hiking, etc


12. When you forget that you’re wearing contacts and try to put on your glasses anyway... I done it several times.

Or when you're wearing contacts and go to push your glasses up... haha whoops!


13. Laying down with glasses is impossible...

14. You're constantly in a competition with other bespectacled people to see who has worse eyesight.



15. Your prescription keeps CHANGING.



16. And you spend an hour readjusting to the new lenses by bumping into everything and everyone.


17. But in the end, you love your glasses and how you look in them!

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
