I can’t even find it because I NEED TO BE ABLE TO SEE IT.

17 Thoughts When Getting Your First Pair Of Contacts/Glasses
World of Glasses

I’ve been wearing glasses full-time for eleven years now, and contacts for five years. I like to consider myself a master of the lens, as I’ve gone through a bunch of emotional times with my glasses and contacts. Other specs-wearers can relate to the many struggles of owning them, and the first encounters are always memorable. Here are some of the thoughts that went through my mind when I got my first pair of glasses and contacts.

Contacts:

1. Cool, my first pair of contacts!

2. How on planet Earth am I supposed to attach this thing to my eyeball?


3. What even IS a contact? Like, what is it made of?

It feels like a jellyfish of sorts.


4. Oh my God, I think one fell in the sink.

I can't even find it because I NEED TO BE ABLE TO SEE IT.


5. OK, I think I finally got them in.


6. NOPE. I put one on inside out.

This might be the least comfortable eye sensation, ever.


7. Much better!


8. Time to go back to the basics.

It's so relieving to take out contacts at the end of a long day.

Glasses:

1. I'm ready for my first pair of glasses!


2. This chair looks like a rejected Transformer.


3. "Tell me which one looks clearer; one or two?"

If you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have even known that you changed the lens. So...two?


4. There are so many choices!


5. Ok, should I pick the safer, generic frames?


6. Or should I pick the daring ones?


7. Ok world. You can throw everything you've got at me, now that I have crystal clear vision.

Just don't throw it at my face and break my glasses.


8. "I can take my glasses off for this. I don't need them- oh no. I don't know where I put them."

I feel vulnerable and afraid.


9. Yay, I've found them!

Well, this is gonna be quite an experience from here on out.

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.
