If your retina were overexposed to light you would see just a glare. If not enough light got in than everything would seem very dark. So the pupil expands or contracts to make sure just the right amount of light gets in.

Do you have to think about it when you want the size of your pupil to change?

No; the change in the size of your pupil is an involuntary action, meaning that it happens without you thinking about it. The size of your pupils adjust to stimuli, such as bright light. If a bright light was shined in your eyes, your pupils would get smaller in order to let as little light in as possible. Reversely, if you're in a dark room, your pupils will get bigger to let in as much light as possible.
