These are the REAL #ShortGirlProblems:

1. "Oh, don't worry! A lot of people grow in their twenties!"

Yeah okay, whatever. I stopped growing when I was 11. Plus, you act like my height is a bad thing?

2. Trying to use a mirror for a person of normal height:

Seriously? I couldn't see my eyebrows if I wanted to.

3. Hearing someone who is taller than 5'4" complain about being "short."

5'5" is not short! I would kill to be 5'3."

4. Choosing a t-shirt size is more difficult than it should be.

This really should not be so hard. A small is too small and a medium fits like a dress. I need a smedium (small/medium)!

5. Walking with a group of people is like running a marathon.

Seriously though, I feel like I'm chasing everyone just trying to keep up.

6. "Wow, you are so short. It's so cute!"

Yeah, I've heard it before. But, you've gotta admit, it's kinda cute.

7. "Hey, at least you don't have to worry about finding a tall enough guy."

This is just another way for you to point out my height. Just don't do it.

8. Being mistaken for a 13 year old.

This is EXACTLY what a college student wants to hear. I have lost count of the times someone thought I was under 16.


The list goes on but these are my top 8 #ShortGirlProblems. Share if you agree or sympathize with us short gals.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
