Being 5’ ¾” since elementary school, I have had a lot of time to consider the benefits to being this size. Don’t get me wrong, every size and shape is beautiful, just how God made them; however, I have come up with a list of 11 advantages to being short just for kicks.

1. You can sit in any car and never have to worry about not having enough leg room.

2. Dresses or shorts that are way too short on the average Joe ( or should I say Josie! ) are just right for you.

3. People automatically think you’re cute and have a tendency to look out for you.

4. Most guys are taller than me, eliminating any worry about whether or not I can wear heels without towering over the guy.

5. Short people have been found to have longer life spans than taller people. Don't believe me?? Look it up!!

6. Heat rises….so it’s cooler down on our level! Ha.

7. You can sneak through a crowd unnoticed.

8. Most hiding places that would be too small for other people are perfect for you!

9. It’s socially acceptable for you to climb up the shelves at the store if you can’t reach.

10. When people ask you how tall you are, you get to shock them with the news that you haven’t grown since elementary school.

11. And most importantly…….LESS SURFACE AREA TO SHAVE. HOLLA!!!!

For better or for worse

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
