Being a short girl definitely has its ups and downs. But I think we can agree that there are some things all short girls can relate to. You may be short if more than half of these items have happened to you.

1. Most people think you’re 12 years old

“Oh sweetie, what middle school do you go to?” OK, just because I’m the size of a 12-year-old doesn't mean that I’m actually in middle school.

2. When it’s really windy you have to hold on for dear life

“Do you ever feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind?” Why yes, Katy Perry, I actually have because I’m too small to withstand powerful winds coming at me at a speed of 50 mph.

3. Short guys are all yours!

Zac Efron, Dave Franco, and Josh Hutcherson are all under 5’9”. Just saying…

4. When you drive, your seat is pushed all the way forward

At least the person behind me has maximum legroom.

5. There’s a whole world of shelves you’ll never know

It’s a world unknown to you -- some things may never change.

6. Heels are always a yes

Doesn’t matter when or where you wear heels, because you’re the height of an average person when you wear them.

7. Middle seat is basically claimed as yours

When people say, “If you’re little, you sit in the middle,” aka the number one rule in long car rides.

8. Some shoes are cheaper

Shout-out to all my girls with small feet; kids' Converse are half of the price of adult Converse.

9. Your siblings have outgrown you

Do not be fooled by our size…I’m actually the big sister.

10. The tailor down the street has basically become your bestie

Someone has to hem all those long dresses and pants…

11. Certain clothes swallow you whole

Do not put me in a maxi dress, because it’s like I’m lost in a sea of fabric.

12. Always in the front of group photos

“Shortest people in the front!” Well, don’t mind if I do.

13. Tall people use your head as an armrest

OK, ew, I am not an armrest, get your arm off my head.

14. Mirrors are not the most accommodating

I can see the top of my head and nothing else. Perfect.

15. You will always be cute as a button

Even when you’re 85 years old, people will adore how tiny you are. Yay for being short!
