Struggles Of Wearing Glasses As Told By "New Girl"

Nothing Jess and Schmidt can't explain.

Struggles Of Wearing Glasses As Told By "New Girl"

I've been wearing glasses since about third grade, and ever since then, I have run into a plethora of problems they bring. Don't get me wrong, I love my glasses. Putting them on for the first time and actually seeing the leaves on the trees or the board on the other side of the classroom was, in fact, life changing.

We all have to admit, though, no matter how lovely it is to see with them on or use them to cover up under eye bags, our glasses have some flaws. So here I am, with the help of "New Girl," to explain a few of the struggles of glasses.

1. Trying to find your glasses without your glasses, but you need your glasses to find your glasses

This by far is the worst thing in the world. Nothing is worse than waking up in the morning or setting your glasses down while putting on face moisturizer and suddenly your glasses have disappeared. And, even worse, you can't find them because now you can't see.

2. Running around without your glasses on

Forgetting your glasses somewhere is horrible, so you just go blind and hope for the best. We already know to expect the worst at this point.

3. Trying to conveniently fall asleep while watching TV

It is not possible for someone who needs glasses to watch TV and try to fall asleep. You'll either break your glasses or stare at a fuzzy box wondering what exactly is going on.


4. Rain. Enough said.

Are glasses windshield wipers a thing? Cause here I am, patiently waiting.

5. Going inside after being outside in the winter

Things get a little steamy if you know what I'm saying...

6. No, I don't see multiple fingers

I honestly don't know how this idea came about--the fact that people assume because I cannot see, I automatically see more of everything. Truth be told, I see less. Everything just gets blurry and lost. You could be two feet away from me and already your face is just becoming a blob.

7. No, you don't see better with my glasses on. You have 20/20

"Oh, can I try your glasses on? Wow, I see so much better with these on, maybe I need some." No, no you don't. It is just a mind trick. And trust me, you don't want them.

8.They can be a fashion statement or the biggest disaster ever.

Why I thought I should get speckled, rimless grandpa glasses in 7th grade, I will never understand. But, you better believe my glasses now are one of favorite accessories.

10. Sports and glasses, not a very great mix

Sweaty face means slipping glasses down the bridge of your nose. Also, maybe someone will run into you and knock your glasses off or better yet, step on them!

11. Forgetting your glasses

You forget your glasses for some over night trip and you take your contacts out for the night and say screw it. You walk around half blind, and everyone around you is questioning why you are squinting so hard. You are just trying to see a little better, that's all.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
