10 Pros And Cons Of Being Short
Urban Cocktail

People come in all shapes and sizes. There are pros and cons to being each size, and being only 5'3, I have personally experienced the good and the bad of being built "fun-sized."

Con #1: Reaching high cabinets is impossible.

Pro #1: But you get ready good at climbing.

Con #2: People feel the need to comment about your height.

Pro #2: But you can shop in the kids section of any store and save a bunch of money.

Pro #3: You can weave through crowds easily.

Con #3: But you can’t see over them.

Con #4: Trying to catch up on your friends when they walk fast and have long legs.

Pro #4: You’re bomb at hide and seek.

Con #5: Reaching the hand rail on a subway is a struggle.

Pro #5: You never have to duck to get into a doorway or hit your head on anything.

Pro #6: You can pass as a child to get the child’s discount at a restaurant or movie theater if you want to.

Con #6: People think it's funny to pat your head like a dog.

Pro #7: You always have enough leg room in a car, airplane, train, or bus.

Con #7: People like to play this game with you.

Con #8: Your pants always bunch at the bottom.

Pro #8: Your calf muscles are really strong because of constantly standing on your tiptoes.

Con #9: People feel the need to randomly pick you up.

Pro #9: No sofa is too short for you.

Con #10: Always being asked the question, "How's the weather down there?"

Pro #10: Your limbo game is straight fire.

Summary: Being a short person is mainly awesome. Embrace it! Oh and if you're ever playing hide-and-seek, hit me up.

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?

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.
