A lot of people have different, funny struggles in life. Some people have really big feet, some people have really small feet, some people have really small hands, some people have chubby fingers, some people have thin hair, thick hair, it goes on. One struggle that I know personally is the struggle of being so short that sometimes people can’t even see me. And, as well all know, being short also comes with looking really young. Yay! That’s just one of the thousand million problems I have. Here are some more:


1. I have a stepping stool in my closet.

Can't reach my clothes.

2. I have a stepping stool in my kitchen.

Can't reach my plates, spoons, microwave or freezer. Ugh.

3. “I can only wear those pants with heels.”

4. “I’m getting an SUV.” “Are you allowed?”

K.

5. Though I do move the seat all the way up and as tall as it can go.

6. *At the DMV* “How tall are you?”

“Like… 5’2!”

"...Okay, let's just measure.”

7. “Are you old enough to rent a bike?”

You have to be 15 to rent a bike!!

8. “Can I see your ID?”

"Yes! You can! It’s my 21st!"

“What year were you born?”

"It’s LITERALLY my 21st."

9. High five! Okay. Low five.

10. “Give it to me!” “Okay. If you can reach it out of my hand.”

Evil. Pure evil.

11. “Ha ha, I’m taller than you and I’m wearing flats and you’re wearing heels.”

Yep. I’m aware.

12. “Can you get this down for me?”

13. Shower head is pointing the wrong way. Guess I'll just leave it then.

14. My feet don’t reach the floor when I sit in a chair.

Or on the couch. Or on the toilet. Or ever.

15. “It’s a lounge pool, it only goes to five feet deep!” *drowns*

16. I seriously could not pull myself up onto the dorm beds.

They were not made for people like me. I got a stepping stool.

17. They have to move the pedicure seat as far forward as it can go.

18. I can’t climb into my roommate’s jeep.


That pretty much sums up my everyday struggles. Us short people should make a club.

On a level of 1-10 with 1 being chill and 10 being stressed the flip out, you could say I'm a 9. Worrying about the future, grades, GPA, work, assignments, and a lack of sleep and food will do it to ya.
