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!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
