10 Perks Of Being Short

More often than not, people will never let you forget that you are short. Someone will always have to comment on how short you are and ask what your height is. Some may also tell you that you will never grow or you have not since you were in middle school. Many are bothered by these comments but here are a few perks to being short.

1. You will never have to worry about legroom.


Whether it is in the car or the airplane, you will never be uncomfortable if there is not a lot of legroom because you do not need a lot of it.

2. You do not have to bend over to not hit your head on something.

If you are unlucky, you may have to tilt your head to keep from hitting your head on a tree branch or something but it is not very often.

3. You can shop in the kids' section.

This will ultimately save you a lot of money by buying kid's-sized shoes and clothes. If it fits, no one will know.

4. You are a pro at crowd weaving.

Crowd weaving becomes easier because you are so small and short that people do not see you coming and let you through.

5. You can fit in almost any bed size.

You do not have to worry about your feet hanging over the end of the bed.

6. You will forever look young.

It may be a blessing or curse depending on your age, but who does not want to always look young.

7. You will be extremely good at limbo.

The goal is to always win and you are probably the closest to the ground so it may be unfair for the other opponents.

8. Evidence that short people live longer.

Check out the information, science proves that more compact bodies function more efficiently.

9. Some sports require you to be small.

If you ever want to be a jockey or gymnast you already have a big advantage.

10. You can be lazy and have other people get you things you cannot reach.

Even though you can climb on a chair or the counter, it is always more fun to ask someone else so you do not have to do anything.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
