I Have Four Eyes And I'm Still Clumsy

I can't be the only one who has these troubles.

I Have Four Eyes And I'm Still Clumsy

For all the people who don't have 20/20 vision, are known for being clumsy, and who have not gotten around to getting contacts- this one's for you. Wearing glasses everyday seemed like an easy task when my eye doctor first told me I was near sighted in my right eye and far sighted in my left. After wearing glasses everyday for about four months, I have been acquainted with 4 struggles of having "four eyes" and being clumsy.

1. Running into stationary objects

Like I said earlier, I am a clumsy. I run into doors at least 3 times a week, 2 times if it's a good week. Now that I have glasses, every time I run into a door and it hits my face, I immediately panic that my glasses might be broken. It's a miracle I haven't even scratched them yet. *Knock on wood*

2. My dog licking my glasses

This point has nothing to do with being clumsy but, when I come home from class my little dachshund will eagerly greet me with dog kisses on my face. He doesn't leave out my glasses, which results in slobbery streak marks all over my the lenses. Leaving me to constantly clean them because my dog tends to lick my glasses a lot.

3. Falling

If you are a clumsy person, you are quite acquainted with falling. Whether it be falling down stairs, up stairs, tripping on the sidewalk, falling off your bed- you've experienced it all many times. Once you add glasses to the mix, it can make your fall more embarrassing especially if you break them.

4. When your glasses aren't perfectly situated on your face

When you are clumsy, you get used to feeling embarrassed or you unknowingly do things that bring embarrassment upon you. I am accustom to both. Since I have ran my face (and glasses) into many doors, my glasses don't fit me as well as they used to- leaving me to have to fix their positioning on my face. Sometimes my glasses will be situated crooked on my face and I won't notice for some time- very embarrassing and comical.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
