The Perks Of Being A Short Girl

I am a 5’2 college female, and I have to say: I love being short. Although I am sure that there are a variety of benefits to being tall, I wouldn’t trade my fun-sized height for the world. Here's why.

1. Whenever you’re too lazy to grab something that is out of reach, you can use the excuse that you’re too short and make someone else (aka someone tall), grab it for you.

2. You can wear any heels you want and not be concerned about how tall you look.

3. You can navigate easily through large crowds.

Trying to make your way to the front of a concert is easier when you’re small and can fit through small gaps of sweaty people.

4. Speaking of concerts, ever have that vision of sitting on a tall guy’s shoulders and overlooking the raging concert venue? This dream has a higher chance of becoming reality if you’re short.

5. You have more men to pick from if height is in your criteria.

6. Two words: Youth sizes.

Do you have that one pair of Nike shoes that you're eyeing, but your college budget won’t allow you to buy them? Well, pop right over to the kid's section and grab yourself the exact same pair in a youth size that you fit in. The perks? The same shoes are for half the price. This can be applied to anything from a shirt to accessories.

7. When you wake up in the morning, you never have to worry about stretching your entire body out in bed and having your feet dangle off the end.

8. Some clothing pieces that are considered shirts for taller people, can double as a dress for you.

9. You will look forever young.

As society, we have this notion that shortness equivalents to youth.

10. You’re always in the front row for pictures. Thus, people will always notice you first.

11. Depending on your current age, you can sometimes pull off being a kid and get the cheaper movie ticket.

12. If people try to offend you by calling you a "shorty," you can rebuttal by saying you’re a "shawty," (AKA: a fine ass woman), as defined by Urban Dictionary.

13. If your feet or legs ever hurt, people are willing to piggyback you to where you're heading.

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.

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.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
