Contacts are wonderful inventions. They can help you fix your sight without changing your appearance, unlike glasses. However, they come with their share of struggles that everyone who wears contacts can relate too.

1. Getting your contact stuck in your eye.

The worst pain ever is when your contact is stuck somewhere in the back of your eye socket and you can't find it.

2. Saline solution can be expensive.

Saline solution to keep your contacts clean can cost between 9 and 15 dollars for a good-sized bottle, which can be a struggle.

3. When you forget your saline and contact case on an overnight trip.

Waking up after sleeping in your contacts leads to dry, dry eyes.

4. Trying to insert/remove contacts with long or acrylic nails.

Don't even bother trying to get your nails done if you wear contacts.

5. When your contact falls out and you don't have a case/saline on hand.

Truly the worst case scenario.

6. Putting in your contact inside out.

Yep, more pain.

7. You can't rub your eyes, or else your contact will fold in on itself.

You end up just tapping your eye when it starts to itch.

8. You hoard contact cases, just in case you lose one.

You can never have too many.

9. And finally, getting makeup/smudges all over your contacts.

It happens. Every. Single. Time.

Contacts can be lifesavers, but they can be a pain. What contact-related troubles have you dealt with?

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.
