8 Things You'll Only Relate To If You Wear Glasses
Maddie Rogers

Like some, I have had glasses since a very young age. I had eye surgery, the whole nine yards. I'm basically almost blind, but I'm definitely not alone. I made a list of a few things that everyone that wears glasses just about can relate to.

1. Glasses jokes

People think it's hilarious to call you names like four eyes or tap on your glasses like you're a fish.

2. *Takes glasses off* "Dude, you're like blind!"

I can't tell you how many people have asked to try on my glasses and when they do, they're like amazed at the fact that I really can't see. Yes, I wear my glasses to see, weird I know.

3. Having to be more careful than other people when you're active

"Watch my glasses!" Nothing is more devastating than having a pair of broken glasses, so you have to do everything possible to keep them safe.

4. "Why don't you wear contacts?"

I don't much enjoy having a piece of plastic over my eyeball, sorry.

5. Listening to people talk about how much they wish they had glasses

I have literally never understood people that wear glasses just because they like how they look, and they can see fine without them.

6. Dreading the eye doctor

Everyone that wears glasses knows the contraption they put in front of you to get you a new prescription, it gets old. And no, I can't read the second row of letters, sorry doc.

7. Getting excited to pick out a new pair of glasses

Okay, maybe I lied, I look forward to the eye doctor a little. I mean, who wouldn't love to try on different pairs of glasses all day?

8. Looking super cute in glasses

Our faces were literally made for glasses, let's be honest. My life would be totally different without them.

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.
