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.

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.
