I wish I could tell all of these wonderful guys who are attempting to initiate romance with me that there is no point, since I'm not over my last heartbreak two years ago. Every time I've tried has just reaffirmed that for me. I'm completely okay when it's just me, and I can be a great friend, but that's all I have to offer right now.

Maintenance: Do you have other assignments, or are you hired to assist her?
Me: Excuse me?
Maintenance: I always see you with that blind girl.
Me: Katie is my partner. We are both full time students at NAU and we live together.
Blindness does not mean incapable or inadequate. Blind people can do almost everything a sighted person can do. Some can even drive, with special glasses! Being legally blind does not mean that all you can see is total darkness. In fact, only about 10% of people who are legally blind see nothing at all. Most can see shades of color, light, and shapes. Treat a blind person just as you would treat a sighted person. Ask if they need help before you assist them. Most blind people don't need your help walking or crossing roads.
Talk directly to them when in conversation, especially when taking payment. Do not ask the sighted person next to them,"Can they do this? Can they do that?" I had a cashier in the Union do this and even handed me the debit card of my blind partner! Look them in the eyes when you speak. Most of them can tell when you're not. They can also tell when you are staring at them, so don't. That includes staring at them on the bus and in class. Some students stand or sit right in front of them, blatantly gawking at them. Imagine how stupid you look, not only to them, but to everyone else.
Be mindful not to pet guide dogs, unless you ask first, and not distract them by sweet noises and ga-ga eyes, no matter how cute they are. When they are on harness, they are working and the life of the blind person who they are guiding depends on it. Most importantly, don't ask personal questions about their sight and don't tell them they are an inspiration just because they walk around, go to school, eat, and breathe like every body else. All of this is extremely rude and insulting.
If you ride a bike, skateboard, or scooter on campus, pay more attention to who's walking on the side walk. If you see a person with a cane, get over as far as you can from them to give them space to walk. Cane's cover a lot of ground!
Thanks!
Oh and if you have blind friends on Facebook, include photo descriptions!

It's been a long time since I laughed. A year and half to be honest.

That awkward moment when it is 12:30 and you want to order jimmy johns. And then Glorborg demands you order dominos instead.

Tfw you meet your boyfriends family and dog, stay with them for a week or so, and at the end his dog comes when you call but not when he does.

I'm trying to buy a motorcycle. I do not know to much about them. Just know how to ride one. I am in to that sporty crotch rocket type of look but WHERE are good places in Flagstaff to get a bike. Especially on a college student budget.
