Eye don't want to make a spectacle out of it, but eye have worn glasses for as long as eye can remember. They can definitely be a pain sometimes, and lens be real: resorting to contacts often seems like the only option. These are some things that all glasses wearers can relate to on a daily basis.


1. The nose grips on wire frames press in on either side of your nose.

2. Picking out new glasses can be both fun and stressful with all the choices.

3. Other people ask to try them on.

This tends to be followed by comments like, "You look better without your glasses on," and there's the occasional, "How many fingers am I holding up?"

4. When they're off (or you have contacts in), you still push on the bridge out of habit to adjust them on your face.

5. Trying to lie on your side rarely works.

All you want is to get comfortable, but you can't because you're glasses get pushed to the side of your face, and yet laying on your back is just bleh.

6. Getting hit in the face hurts more.

I got hit in the face with a volleyball in seventh grade. My glasses made it so much worse.

7. Rain makes seeing unbearably difficult.

8. Not having a cleaning cloth handy means you just have to use the nearest suitable article of clothing.

9. You may get dark circles under your eyes when you wear them for a long time.

10. Getting stuff on lenses is the worst.

I've gotten food, sweat, tears and paint on my lenses over the years. Not one of those is fun to clean off.

11. Getting used to a new prescription is always disorienting, no matter how many times you've done it.

12. They slide off your face when you're sweaty.

13. "You wear glasses, so you must be smart" and other similar comments or jokes are the worst.

They also get really annoying after hearing enough of them.

14. You panic when you can't find them.

15. You fog up your lenses with your breath in cold weather or while standing in a steamy room.

16. Glare in photos is unavoidable.

17. 3-D glasses, lab goggles, sunglasses. Do you wear them on top or take the glasses off?

You have to decide if it's worth the eyesore, or if you'd rather just not be able to see what's happening.

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.

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
