Being as short as I am, I've run into some struggles, and now I'm writing to share those struggles with you.
1. You can never ever EVER reach anything.
If i had a dollar for every time I had to climb something, or ask someone to get something down for me, I would have enough money to buy 14,803,345 things from the dollar store (including tax). I also absolutely hate when something I need to buy is on the top shelf, I either have to find something to knock it down or climb up the shelves like Kim Possible. Call me, beep me, if you can't reach me.
2. Taking pictures will my tall friends just looks like they're my mom, and I'm their 13-year-old daughter.
Most of my friends are tall af, so when I go to take pictures with them, I either have to stand on my tippy-toes or wear heels in order to look like "average height."
3. Getting the kids menu at Friendly's.
I'm an 18-year-old who still gets handed a kids menu. I mean I can't complain too much I'm a college student on a budget, and who doesn't love chicken fingers and fries?
4. Jeans NEVER fit right.
I wish they had a "short girl" style of pants because I have to roll more than half of my pants up.
5. You automatically become an arm rest.
THIS. IS. NOT. OKAY. My head isn't for your arm resting needs.
6. "Aw you're so cute!!"
Although this is nice to hear, don't get me wrong, but when you're an adult and people around the same age as you squeeze your cheeks and say, "Aw you're so cute!!" I'm not a cabbage patch doll.
7. Walking with tall people.
This is such a struggle because one step for a tall person is like three steps for me, and I'm basically jogging in order to keep up.
8. When your tall friends say they "wish they were as short as you."
Appreciate the fact that you've always been tall enough to ride the roller coaster, some of us haven't had that luxury.
9. Already knowing where your place is when a photo is taken.
Front, don't even have to tell me, I'm already standing here for a reason.
10: "How do you drive? Can you even reach the peddles?"
I'm short, not incapable of driving. There is this thing called pulling the seat up.
Although I'm 4'll and shorter than your little sister who is in 2nd grade, I can climb in small places, get away with wearing clothes that are from middle school and I have the power of invisibility whenever I want. Short girls will always be better at hide and seek too. Yes, I'm in the cabinet, and no, you'll never guess I am small enough to fit in there.
