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.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
