We only need them to see.

8 Struggles Only People Who Wear Glasses Will Understand

Some people just can’t wear contacts. I am one of those people. I’ve tried multiple times but I can’t comprehend having to touch your eyeball every morning and evening in order to see correctly. I prefer just slipping on a pair of glasses. Plus, I think they actually make me look better. Not to mention that they add five IQ points instantly. But glasses have their own downfalls...

1. Wearing sunglasses

Yeah, this is a difficult task. We either have to just deal with the sun, buy extremely expensive prescription glasses, or look like a dork wearing two pairs of glasses.

2. Swimming

No one can really see underwater, but when you wear glasses, it is even more difficult. I have to take off my glasses when I enter a pool, so even getting in or out is a task. Sometimes, I slip.

3. Wearing Make-Up

For girls who wear glasses, make-up may seem unnecessary. But I love wearing make-up, even if it does get all around the rims of glasses. I find myself having to clean make-up off my glasses constantly.

5. Finding them in the morning

Sometimes, especially after fun nights, I can’t remember where I placed my glasses. Thankfully, I live with someone who can help me search.

6. Adjusting them

Like anything you wear everyday, glasses can get worn out, especially when you have a big head like me. Finding the time to go to the eye doctor to get your glasses readjusted is a pain, and it’s an even bigger pain when they slip off your nose.

7. Working out

Have you ever tried to do a push-up while sweating with glasses on? They just slip right off.

8. Amusement parks

I love roller coasters. But every time I go on one, I am afraid my glasses will fly right off my face. I find myself holding tighter onto my glasses than the railing.

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.
