Being short has its benefits. Being able to fit through small doorways and... yeah that's about it. For the most part, being short is a major inconvenience. There are so many times where I think to myself, "wow, I wish I was at least a couple inches taller so I could reach this."

Not only is it inconvenient, but I hear the same hilarious comments every single day. It gets pretty repetitive hearing "you're so short" when I stand next to someone, as if I had no clue that I was below average height before they told me.

If you're short, I'm sure this list of daily short girl struggles will be something you can relate to:

1. People putting things on higher shelves just to mess with you.

*eye roll*

Like seriously... that stopped being funny the first time it happened.

2. When you're in a big crowd (like at a concert) and your face is at everyone else's elbows.

You really have to be alert and agile enough to duck all of the flying elbows coming at your face or else you'll risk a few black eyes. Or just hop on someones shoulders!

3. Having to ask people to reach things for you.

And every time you ask it feels as if you are sacrificing your own pride.

4. Nobody ever believes you when you tell them your age.

"No way!! You're 20?! You literally look like you're 12, that's crazy!"

Like really... 12-YEARS-OLD? I mean I know I look young but 12?!

5. My dad telling me every single day to make sure I drive carefully because "short females are statistically the most likely to die instantly in a car accident."

Thank you, Dad. That is exactly what I want to hear before I get behind the wheel.

6. Becoming a human arm rest.

It's fine at first. Until a dozen people have put their arm on your head within the last hour and messed up your hair way too many times for you to even care about it anymore.

7. Not EVER being taken seriously.

This makes being angry extremely difficult because people just mock you as if you are joking. They typically regret it when you blow up in their face.

8. Not being able to keep up when you're walking with your tall friends.

Short legs means shorter steps and no one seems to understand that.

9. "I know you probably HATE hearing how young you look, but don't worry you'll love it when you're 40!"

So... you just said that you know I hate being told that... but you are telling me that right now... do you want me to hate you too?

10. "You make me feel so tall!"

Yep, that is exactly what I'm here for.
