10 Signs You Were Destined To Be The 'Short Girl'
Marissa Antonino

This is for us "shorties" who are reminded everyday about how short we really are. But hey, like they say, good things come in small packages!

1. You can never find a good pair of jeans.

Yup, that's right. You know those pants that are called "ankle" fit? Well, they're normal length on us shorties.

2. You are always someone's armrest.

Someone is constantly making fun of how short you are and how they can use your head as an armrest. Thanks--we get it.

3. You constantly have to climb in order to reach something.

Climbing has become one of our many talents.

4. People are always coming up with nicknames for you based on your height.

The amount of times I have been called "shorty" is crazy (even my boss uses that as my nickname).

5. You still fit into the clothes you wore back in middle school.

I mean, at least we don't have to constantly buy new clothes; we never grow out of them!

6. You have to pull your seat all the way up in order to drive.

Yes, driving can be a little difficult for us shorter people. It's a little hard to see over the steering wheel. We're still good drivers though!

7. People are always asking "Omg, how tall are you?"

Yes, I'm 4 feet, 10 and a half inches tall...I'll NEVER be 5 feet.

8. We always have an excuse to wear heels!

Even when we do wear heels, we still look short!

9. Your feet DON'T reach the ground when you sit in a chair.

I feel like such a kid every time I sit in a chair. My feet have never reached the ground.

10. You are constantly asking someone, "Hey can you reach that for me?"

As much as we hate to ask, we appreciate it!

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
