Seven Everyday Struggles Of Short Girls

Fitting in small spaces, being the perfect little spoon and being boss at limbo, short girls have it covered. Reaching shelves and seeing over things... Not so much.

If you're 5' 2" or under, this article is for you. I'm barely 5' tall and here are seven struggles myself and almost every short girl can relate to.

1. Everyone walks so fast!

Often, I find myself walking way faster than I need to just because I'm used to trying to keep up with my friends.

2. At least once a week someone tries to use me as an arm rest.

Please stop. This isn't cute or funny and it makes me feel bad about myself.

3. Tall shelves, cabinets, mirrors, etc. are our worst enemies.

My roommates are constantly putting things on the highest shelves in the house. Also, I can't even use my bathroom mirror to get ready in the morning. (Where are all the petite people houses. How can I get one?)

4. Pants are the struggle.

My pants fit perfectly around my waist but bunch up at the bottom. Or they completely cover my feet. What's up with that?

5. When you meet new people they always say something about how short you are.

"WOW, You're shorter than I thought." Yeah, I know I'm short no need to tell me, thanks.

6. You look kinda silly in the pool.

Everyone else is in the deep end just chilling and you're like, nah I'm good here.

7. Everyone constantly says you look like a 12-year-old.


This is THE worst. Just because I'm short does not mean I am 12 years old, I mean, come on. Do you really think a 12-year-old is going to be going out with friends at 12 a.m.? Also, do you think it's OK to say this to someone? No? OK, bye then.

All-in-all, no matter what I may say, I would never change my height. Being short is a part of who I am and when I'm 60 who knows maybe people will still think I'm 12. Plus, don't short girls have more fun?

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.
