Being five foot nothing (I give myself the extra quarter of an inch) I get A LOT of short people jokes and I am constantly have issues with life because adult life was not made for short people. Why do people feel the need to pat you on the head or assume you are 12 years old? Why do clothes never fit me right, there are a lot of people in this world that are short so why hasn't the world figured it out? Here are 11 problems all short people have.

1. When the sun visor doesn't even help when you are driving and looking straight into the sun.

Uh.. hello that is the worst thing while driving, because sometimes sunglasses don't even help! Not only can you not see the road, but it makes you feel like a child while driving.

2. Having little legs

It takes me twice, if not three times as many steps as the person next to me to get somewhere. Short people are also always a few steps behind the group due to such short legs. The plus side to that is I get to log more steps in on my Fitbit.

3. Not being able to touch the ground when sitting.

This is self explanatory. WE CAN NEVER TOUCH THE GROUND.

4. Being used as an armrest, by literally everyone.

Nothing I hate more than being an armrest to a taller person.

5. Having to stand on the counters to reach the top shelf.

Why do things have to be so high up? Make them in reach for the shorties of the world.

6. Wearing heels and still being the shortest person.

If I am wearing heels everyone else wears heels. I feel tall but I still am the shortest of the group.

7. Being able to still order from the kids menu.

This is a blessing and a curse. It is cheaper than the adult menu but I can eat like a grown man.

8. Having to look up to everyone, whether you like it or not.

Looking up at people ALL the time hurts my neck.

9. Being stuck at the kids table.

Short people get stuck at the kids table time in time again.

10. People always call you cute.

Come on I am not two anymore....

11. Forever being ID-ed

Whether at the bar or at the movies, short people will always get asked for identification.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

Kansas State University

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

Relationships

9 Reasons Why Friends Are Essential In College

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
