Inside Higher Ed

Throughout my entire life, I've always been on the shorter side, whether I'm with my friends, family, or anyone, really. While I don't hate being short, it gets old pretty fast when I hear the same comments from people all of the time. *eye roll*

I understand that most people mean well, but that doesn't change the fact that hearing something about my height for the 600th time can get rather annoying. If you're short like me, you'll know exactly where I'm coming from, so here are 14 things short girls are told on a regular basis.

1. "How can you sit to close to the steering wheel? I can't even get in the car with the seat up this far."

2. "What's the weather like down there?"

3. "OMG, that 10 year old kid is taller than you!"

4. "Do you think you're going to grow any more?"

5. "Oh sorry, I didn't see you there. You're so tiny."

6. "You're so cute. How old are you?"

7. "How tall are you, exactly?"

8. "How do you reach things on the top shelf?"

9. "Do your feet touch the ground when you sit down?"

10. "Being short isn't all that bad because you can fit in small places."

11. "You're fun-size."

12. "Well, at least you can wear heels, no matter who you're standing next to."

13. "I feel so tall right now."

14. "Would you like a kid's menu?"

15. "Can you ride on rollercoasters at amusement parks?"

16. "Can you shop in the kid's section?"

17. "Don't worry; you're going to be so happy you look young when you're like 40."

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
