1. The first thing people often say when they meet you is often, “Wow, you’re so small!”

http://www.shape.com/fitness/workouts/15-gym-problems-only-short-girls-understand

As if I was not already aware of this for essentially the entirety of my existence. Such observance.

2. People always think you’re so much younger than what you are.

Whether its getting confused as the younger sibling or getting asked if you've lost your mother when shopping by yourself, people always promise that you'll "appreciate that when you're older". As if!

3. Adult clothing simply doesn't fit.

Your business casual clothing comes from the GAP, so what? Your credit card sure isn't complaining.

4. Taking pictures with your tall friends is an absolute nightmare.

You don't want to look too short and they don't want to look too tall. Lose lose situation for everyone involved.

5. People often feel the need to pick you up – especially in hugs.

Is this supposed to prove your strength? Is this just how you hug people? What's going on here? Also please put me down, I'm afraid of heights.

6. Chairs. Just. Chairs.

Your feet never reach the ground and you have to do everything in your power to keep them from swinging to avoid looking like an "all-too-excited child". Plus, what's the point in sitting in a rolling chair when you can't reach the ground to spin yourself around in it.

7. It’s almost as if tall people enjoy watching you struggle with reaching things on the top shelf.

Yeah, just sit there and laugh, let me go get my PORTABLE STEP STOOL.

You spend a lot of time staring at the back of people's heads.

Movie theaters, concerts, parades, sport games...you name it!

9. The amount of times people have decided that your head is the perfect height is ridiculous.

Ouch?

And of course, the endless amount of jokes.

Is this allowed?

Though #ShortGirlProblems are incredibly real no one can deny that "good things come in small packages."

Yes, we are the equivalent of a 24 karat diamond ring.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
