I'm The Girl Who Would Rather Wear Her Glasses

I'd take wearing my glasses over anything.

I'm The Girl Who Would Rather Wear Her Glasses
Ariana Pelosci

Everybody who wears glasses knows the everyday struggle. You can't see anything without them. At the end of the day, they just become another accessory.

Most people hate the sight of their glasses on their face. They prefer to wear contacts, or even to not see at all. I have never been one of those people.

I never really wore makeup, so with glasses on my face, it added something more. You can pick any style or color and completely transform your personality. I find that to be the best part about wearing glasses.

Of course, there are times that require wearing contacts such as important events or when sitting on the beach. But if I can pass by every day by just putting my glasses onto my face and walking out the door without the fuss, I'll take it.

There are some downsides to wearing glasses. They aren't just there for fun or to make your face look better. I am wearing them for a legitimate reason.

Sometime smudge marks randomly appear, and there is no way to get rid of them. No matter how many times you clean them, a smudge mark will always appear. It's just a fact of life about wearing glasses.

Another inconvenience is that you can never lay down while wearing them. They ride up the side of your face or push the frames into your face. There isn't a win in this situation.

Over the years of wearing them, they have become apart of my personality. I love the feeling of trying on my brand new pair of glasses or getting compliments about how they look on my face.

If you have to add something so important to your life, you might as well give yourself a confidence boost. Some may say you're hiding behind them or that you should wear contacts more, but you shouldn't listen to them. Do what makes you most comfortable.

Wear your glasses with pride. They represent a part of you. They are a part of you.

So yes, given a choice I'd rather wear my glasses than put on makeup and contacts. It's just who I am, and I don't mind it one bit.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
