Covering the Bases

I'm a first year college student, though my first year is over in about 5 weeks. I'd like to tell people all about my experiences I've had this first year of living on my own, a long way from home. I'd also like to share my opinions about everything, tell people all about me and my life, and earn some cash for an important surgery for me, a real car, and help support my addiction to expensive coffee.

Now before you start getting all worried and freaked out like I'm sick or something, don't worry. I'm blessed with a perfectly healthy body. (I might be a few pounds heavier than I'd like but whatever right?)
My only difficulty is my eyesight. I currently have 20/600 vision. That's considered legally blind without glasses or contacts, which I've relied on my whole life in order to see the world around me.
It's really frustrating when you can't see your own face in a mirror a foot away from you. Or see signs on the sides of the road or people and animals.

When I was a youngling I wore really thick glasses and was made fun of horribly. When I finally switched to contacts, I realized I was the most epic person I'd ever know. But still at the end of the day, every day, I go to the bathroom and take my contacts off. And can't see who I am in the mirror.

Now that I think about it,
I've never seem my own face with my own eyes.
So that's why I'm saving up for laser eye surgery. I'll finally get to see the world through my own eyes, not through a glass or plastic filter.
I'm going to get the all laser surgery, because I once made the mistake of youtube-ing the procedure where they use this sinister, can-opener looking device on your eye. Baaaad idea. Scared me right out of getting the cheaper surgery. XD


Oh yeah, and now that I've peaked your interest, take my advice, do NOT look up that video XD It'll scar you for life. I'm pretty sure it'll give you nightmares too.

    I think you should go for the laser for sure. Can openers are for cans.

  2. Right? Who'd ever expect them to use something that looks like a can opener on a person's eye? It's scary!

  4. I think that can openers and eyes work well with each other
