11 Advantages to Being Short
Giovanna DeGiorgio

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!!!!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

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.
