10 Things Girls 5-Feet Or Shorter Hate Hearing

Yes, I'm 4'11. Yes, I know I'm short. You don't have to constantly remind me. Here are other things you don't have to say either.

1. Aren't you considered a midget?

No, actually, I am not. But thanks for your concern.

2. How do you reach the top of the cabinet?

Very carefully.

3. You're the perfect height for an armrest!

Yes, you're so right. I just love when you drape your heavy arm on my shoulder. It's great, really.

4. What's the weather like down there?

It's the exact same as the weather "up there."

5. At least you don't have to worry about a guy being taller than you.

I guess that's a plus.

6. Do you have to slide your seat all the way up when you drive so you can see?

Obviously. Since I am only 4'11, my legs aren't very long and it's difficult to see over the steering wheel.

7. What grade are you in?

I'm in college. Stop asking me if I'm a freshman in high school. Thank you.

8. Would you like a kid's menu?

Okay, look. I know I'm small and could pass for a high school student, but do I really look so young that I need a kid's menu? Seriously?9. Why do you walk so slow?

MY LEGS ARE SHORT. I can't take three steps and be across the room like the rest of you giants can. Give me a break and wait on me.

10. Do you ever wonder what it's like to be the size of a normal person?

Nope. Never. Short is perfect.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Letter To My High School Friend Group

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.
