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!

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
