10 Things Girls Who Wear Glasses Can Relate To

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

Being the girl who wears glasses has NOT always been as cute and trendy as it is today. Everywhere I go on campus I see girls in glasses and mostly for fashion. This article is for all of the collegietes who have been wearing glasses since before it became a trend. All the girls who had to endure all the corny jokes in grade school about having “four-eyes.”  Here’s 10 things that all of you trend-setters can relate too.

1. Picking out a new pair of frames could take hours…maybe even days.

 

2. Being told that you either look smart or like a “sexy librarian”..

 

3. People always asking why you don’t wear contacts…

 

This gif explains exactly why not!

4. Eye exams are just straight up embarrasing…

 

You finally realize this is one exam you just can’t pass.

5. The world stops when you misplace your glasses…

 

6. SQUINTING…

 

 

Does this really work? Who knows, we do it anyway.

7. When your glasses fog up when walking to class in the cold…

 

Or when you’re trying to be cute drinking your morning coffee from starbs.

8. Being friends with other girls who wear glasses because you share the same struggles…

 

9. Taking your glasses off to get a better look at something…

 

 

…And being fully aware that this make no sense.

10. Being annoyed by girls who only wear glasses for fashion…

 

Wearing glasses may not be a fashion trend forever but while it is live it up ladies because you’re originals!

Winthrop University is a small, liberal arts college in Rock Hill, SC.Â
