What The Way You Adjust Your Glasses Says About You

Everyone who wears glasses has a different way of fixing them when they inevitably slide down the bridge of your nose and threaten to jump off your face.

Everyone who wears glasses has a different way of fixing them when they inevitably slide down the bridge of your nose and threaten to jump off your face. So, what does the way you fix your glasses say about you?

The Full Frontal Push Up

The person who takes on the Full Frontal approach to adjust their glasses is wildly funny and the person you turn to when you need to liven up your weekend. With this face-palm approach, the Full Frontal Push-Uppers give 0 cares to what anyone thinks of them. They have to get the job done and go about it in the most practical (and possibly) least flattering way. It's the quickest way to fix the glasses and get back to having fun. These peeps are most compatible with the double end piecers because their outrageous antics sometimes require some cleanup or careful orchestration

The Side Swipe


The person who pushes their glasses up from the side is one who always has their eyes on the prize. They don't want to miss a thing, so they can't do the Full Frontal approach for fear of blocking their view. They just want to take it all in and stop and smell the roses. They're mellow life-lovers who live each day with the "just happy to be here" philosophy. These people are compatible with everyone- glasses wearers or not- because they're so easy going and easy to love.

The End-Piece Hoist

Glasses-wearers who grab the end-piece to adjust their specs are super introspective and judgemental- not always in a bad way. These folks can see through bull and get right to the point. They are great judges of character and are hardly ever wrong about the new significant others that their friends are bringing into their lives. These people are most compatible with Grabbers because the Grabber's goofiness is balanced with this more realistic personality.

The Double End-Piece Touch And Go

Since this was a selfie, I couldn't get my second hand in the picture but basically the Touch and Go approach uses the same as the End Piece Hoist but with both hands (*note: this can also be a common modification for the Lens Grabber which is described below*). These Touch and Goers are very practical and careful people. They deal with their glasses the same way that they deal with social interactions and carrying hot soup across a room: with both hands. In social situations, they want to be a part of the action in order to diffuse drama and they always consider every side of a story. They're most compatible with the Full Frontal Pusher because they can balance the crazy with pragmatism.

The Lens Grabber

Finally, we have the Lens Grabber (my personal favorite). Lens Grabbers use the frame of their glasses to push their glasses back up. Just as they risk their fingerprint infringing on their line of sight, the Grabbers take risks in life too. Lens Grabbers are good at thinking on their feet while also thinking before they speak. I'd say that they are a happy middle between the craziness that comes with the Pushers and the mellowness that comes with the Side Swipers. They're super goofy and tend to laugh more at their own jokes than anyone else does. These Grabbers are good pairs with the End Piece Hoisters because, if I'm any indication, Grabbers could really use a reality check sometimes.

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.
