I have been short my entire life. My whole family is short. I used to long to be as tall as all of my friends. Now I embrace my shortness. Does it get annoying at times when people are constantly pointing out my height to me? Absolutely, but I have learned to laugh it off through the years. Here are 10 annoying, yet truthful problems all girls under 5'3 can probably relate to:

1. Your feet never touch the ground when sitting in a chair. 

2. Flare jeans are a no go.

Anytime you do try to pull off flare jeans, you have to get them hemmed.

3. And neither are high waisted pants. 

Don't do it. Just don't.

4. You have to walk twice as fast to keep up with your tall friends.

5. The steering wheel is basically sitting in your lap while you are driving. 

6. Knee high boots are not a thing for you. 

If you are under 5'3, "knee" high boots are more like "middle of your calf" high boots.

7. You are always have to ask for assistance to reach something on a high self.

Never fails.

8. You look like you are wearing a shower curtain anytime you try to pull off a jumpsuit or maxi dress. 

Not a good look.

9. You get a little exercise anytime you cook because you are constantly climbing up and down the counters to reach something. 

Are you cooking or just playing ninja?

10. You will have to deal with people always pointing out your height for the rest of your life.

You are totally fine with that, because you already know that you are short and cute.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
