5 Times Being The Short Friend Really Sucks
Akim Powell

We’ve all heard the saying “big things come in small packages” but maybe in a different context but it totally fits with this conversation right? It sucks being the short one in the friend group, like hello share some of the extraterrestrial height and an overly long torso that God blessed you with to your vertically challenged friend.

Though, we do have some perks like our outfits ALWAYS looks 10x better than others, it doesn’t completely make up for all the cons.

1. Taking pictures is such a hassle

Either my friend has to bend down so low that her neck becomes non-existent or I have to literally stand on my tiptoes like I’m auditioning for the Black Swan for over 3omins while we attempt to get the perfect angle.

I’m literally breaking into sweats thinking about it. To all the tall friends out there reading this: Invest in flats immediately, or get a footjob.


2. Everyone else is called “hot” and you’re “cute”

Sweetie, “cute” is for Juicy Couture sweatsuits and Chanel sunglasses, not me. Being called cute is just as bad as being called “shorty.” I don't want to be “cute” I WANT TO BE HOT. I want to be 5’11 and Kendall Jenner but instead, I'm Kylie Jenner’s baby, Stormie Webster. I’ve just come to turns with it, and I converted the meaning “cute” to “cuter than your present, and way cuter than your future.”

3. Always getting carded after your friends have walked straight into the bar, even when you're the oldest.

Sadly, this will be my struggle throughout my entire life. I’m actually the oldest out all of my friends but I will continue to get carded the most.

Try sneak buying a drink at the bars, the bouncers will automatically find you like a mouse in a maze and snatch your $8 whiskey sour that you worked so hard to get while your friends laugh at you and sip their drinks. Life isn’t fair, and neither is throwing my drink away.

4. I’m always put in the middle

If I had a dollar for every time I was put in the middle of the back seat, I would probably stop my misery of college and drop out now. The most awkward moment is when your friend is picking guys up from the bar and because you’re so little, she sits you in the middle of the back seat with them. #ihatemylife #whymelord

5. Flats are never an option

Okay, honestly who wears flats? I mean yeah if you’re a social worker but if you’re a college student “flats” are nonexistent and that actually sounds like an insult. All the girls wear here are OTBT wedges and other heels so my life is completely over.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
