12 Truths Of A Short Girl
Buzzfeed

Height is just a number, but when you're standing up at five foot...people notice. They see how bean like you are, especially for us short chubby gals. Some find it cute, some find it amusing to taunt. Inanimate objects however, they're the worse! Always out of your reach, they make you work for them. Along with not being able to reach anything and having your length define you, we have the everyday physical obstacles such as, climbing counters, stumbling over long pants and walking slower than the rest of human kind. Of course there are perks of being fun size, everyone thinks you are cute! You can sleep however you'd like because you're legs always fit on the bed and no blanket will ever be too short.


1. Top shelves


A place only heard of in stories, the top shelf. Us short girls have to make a great climb to find it. Only few have lived to tell about it, it is far beyond our reach.

2. Pants

WHAT THE HELL?! On average it takes me three weeks and over five stores to find a pair of jeans that fit my body type and don't add an extra pound of material bunched up around my ankles.

3. Being called cute

and don't you forget it! I'm small and round and cute and you will never meet anyone like me, besides Pooh Bear.

4. Never seeing Tops

This can be very annoying but I also never clean the top of things and no one expects me too, I can barely reach the top shelf of the fridge so I will not be dusting much more than that.

5. Driving


If I can reach the peddle I can't see the front of my car, If I can sit up straight I can't reach the peddle. NOTHING WILL WORK!

6. Walking slow

Throw in some chub rub and I am practically crawling! We try to play it cool for some time but let's be honest, everyone else is running.

7. Being leaned on

Well you are the perfect height to be ladder but you don't see me stepping all over you, do you?

8. Reaching someone face

You know when you hug someone and you simply face plant eiher the middle of their back or the middle of their chest? I love that....

9. Standing out

DOES EVERYONE REMEMBER PROM PHOTOS?!

10. Looking up

I sleep in a neck brace with an icy hot and an Ibuprofen on my side table. The strain is bad, they say it is terminal.

11. defending your height

You know when you say "I can't, Im too short", "Just so you know I'm really short" or even "I'm 5 foot" and then people are surprised by your height. I JUST TOLD YOU I'M SHORT!

#NeverForget

These are only the beginning of foes I have met at five foot. Can anyone else relate or are those reading this above 5'5?

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
