I stand at an intimidating 5'1" (and a half)! Being short has its advantages and its disadvantages. Everything you do is "adorable" but short jokes are completely inevitable. I've had my fair share of struggles growing up short but I wouldn't trade "the weather down here" for anything the tall world has to offer. So, here's a list of things only short people will really understand.

1. When the sun visor doesn't help AT ALL while you're driving because, you're just too short.

2. You get really really excited when you see someone who is shorter than you!

3. Your feet hardly ever touch the ground when you sit down.

4. Wearing heels and still being shorter than everyone.

5. Moving the seat all the way forward so you can drive.

6. Feeling the need to add "and a half" when someone asks for your height.

7. Regular pants are ALWAYS too long.

8. Being the same height, shoe and clothing size since you were in middle school.

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

10. In a car, the seat belt cuts into your neck constantly!

11. When your taller friends think they can use you as their own personal armrest.

12. Walking with someone who has long legs is a lot like running a marathon.

13. A step stool is basically a necessity.

14. Having to tread water once you hit the 5 feet area of the pool.

15. You're younger siblings are A LOT taller than you.

16. Never being taken seriously because, of your height.

17. Constantly being in the front row of pictures.

18. Sometimes shirts look like dresses.

19. People can actually look right over your head.

20. Short jokes are inevitable.
