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!

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
