We all know that being short can sometimes sucks. There's the part where jeans always have to be either folded or hemmed to fit us properly, how always have to look up to people at eye level, never catching up with others during a race... The list goes on and on, but what if we turned this thought around and looked at the bright side of it? If you think about it, there are actually many awesome things about being short!


1. You always have leg room.

Whether it's in the car, plane, or the couch, go ahead and spread those legs because your tiny legs won't keep you from sacrificing comfort.

2. You can wear heels without fear of towering over anyone.

This point is especially if you're on a date with a guy, and you fear that you might end up taller than him. Even with six-inch heels, you're still good to go.

3. You're always put in the front for group pictures.

As they say, "pics or it didn't happen." You never have to worry about being cut off in pictures.

4. You will always get assistance with lifting heavy objects.

It's always nice to get help when you're carrying something twice your weight or size or both. Note to tall people: please help out your fellow short people, we all truly appreciate it.

5. Maxi Skirts = Dresses

In a rush to class or work? Need a quick outfit? Pull up a maxi skirt and you've got a knee-length dress! Put on a jacket if you're feeling chilly, and you're all good to go!

6. Cuddling is the absolute best thing.

Couch time with bae is more comfortable for both when you're short, since there's more room for both of you. Here's to hours of Netflix marathons while being little spoon.

7. You have less leg space to shave.

We all know that shaving is the worst, no matter how often you do it. With shorter legs, you're able to finish much quicker and continuing with your life sooner.

8. You use tall people as shields.

When it's raining, snowing, sleeting or hailing, go ahead and grab your favorite tall person, and use them as a shield from the elements.

9. Finding a place to nap is no problem.

Any bed, couch, corner, desk makes a great place to nap whenever you're in need of one.

10. Your personality makes up for your lack of height.

Everyone knows that short people are usually the nicest and most outgoing. You won't regret befriending a short person!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
