New Glasses

Hey people! I am so sorry that I haven't blogged in a while! I have been utterly swamped with the beginning of the new school year and such. To all my many fans (a.k.a just myself), I apologize. I have so much that I want to talk about but instead, I'll just talk about the most recent events. Yesterday I received a new pair of prescription glasses! Guess what? They only cost me $14.53!!! Can you believe it, such a bargain! NO! They aren't bootleg glasses, they are actually real prescription glasses. My new glasses are the wayfrarer style (those hipster glasses). They look like this.

How I got them, you ask? Well I'mma tell you. I went to the optometrist and did a complete eye exam (it was a bit expensive, about $120) and then I got my prescription. There is a difference between an eye exam and an eye test. An eye test basically just gives you your prescription but an eye exam does that and checks your eyes for eye diseases such as glaucoma. It is important to have an eye exam every year so that any detected eye diseases can be treated, if possible, and in the cases of untreatable diseases (such as glaucoma), it can be slowed down. Anyway, after I got my prescription, I went to www.clearlycontacts.ca . Clearly Contacts is really good because it offers you a wide variety of glasses, brand name inclusive, at an affordable price. They have a promotion which is ongoing (for now), where you get your first pair of glasses free. All you have to do is find a pair you like (even if it's brand name), enter your prescription, and then it'll advise you to get a bunch of add-ons such as no scratch lenses, UV protection lenses, etc. I never get that stuff, that's for rich people. Then when you go to check out, it will ask you if you have a coupon. The coupon code for the free glasses is firstpairfreeca and it basically zeros the original price of the glasses. How they ensure people don't abuse this offer, I don't know, but all I know is that I got my glasses for free!

My glasses were supposed to cost $97 dollars, but I didn't have to pay that because of the coupon. All I had to pay was for shipping $9.99 and taxes ...so my total was $14.53. I took them to my optometrist to make sure they were okay and he said they were fine. Get on it people! I don't know how long this promotion lasts for. It's really nice because they include glasses case, spray, and a wipe for you.

It's funny how a new pair of glasses completely changes your perspective. As soon as I put them on, I felt cute! Mind you, not beautiful, but cute. The glasses helped narrow my face and bring attention to my eyes and as soon as I saw myself, I realized that I wasn't as ugly as I thought (actually, I realized that I'm NOT UGLY AT ALL). I was even cute. I could finally see what others could see in me. Wearing the glasses gave me a huge confidence boost and I was so happy because I wouldn't have been able to afford the glasses otherwise. I was so scared to put them on because I thought that having good vision would result in me seeing even more flaws in myself; however, the complete opposite happened. I don't feel like I'm pretty or gorgeous but I feel a lot better about myself.

In other news, in one of my courses, there is this really CUTE guy. Usually my courses are huge! I usually have about 1500 students in one class, but this is my tiniest class and there are only 23 people. I noticed this really cute guy with glasses like mine. He has dark brown hair and these gorgeous intense blue eyes. I'm a sucker for people with dark hair and bright eyes. He was too cute. My nickname for him is Mr. Beautiful Blue Eyes but I doubt he'll ever talk to me. Anyway, I gotta run.

 

 

Stay Gorgeous!!!
