Thoughts Only Girls with Glasses Understand

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Chapman chapter.

1.       Why don’t these come with mini windshield wipers? Seriously, whoever thinks that wearing glasses on a rainy day is a good idea, certainly does not actually wear glasses.

2.       How am I supposed to unload the dishwasher if my glasses are fogged up? Or take my food out of the oven?

3.       How do I sneeze gracefully? There has to be a way to sneeze without your glasses flying off you and hair falling into your face.

4.       Do I take my glasses off during sex or keep them on…? If I take them off, I can’t see sh*t. If I leave them on they can fly off as we’re…uh-hem. But if I leave them on I can also see how ridiculous I look, so JK, no glasses is the way to go!

5.       How am I supposed to swim in these? Life is a game of Marco Polo and I am perpetually Marco.

6.       Why do they keep sliding off my nose? I wish I could just glue them to my face so they would just stay put.

7.       When did glasses even become cool? I dreaded wearing them in fourth grade, and now people with 20/20 vision want them, too.

8.       Do I look good in these? Like, I want to pull off the sexy librarian look, but I feel like I really just look like Steve Urkel.

9.       Why do these cost so much?! They’re helping my eyes but they’re demolishing my wallet.

10.   How long do I have to wait before my mascara dries so I can put my glasses back on? Because I’m running late, and I can’t drive…or walk or run…without being able to see.

11.   How are these still more comfortable than contacts? They’re so annoying, but they are the #1 thing I look forward to at the end of the day.
