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.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:

5. Then you just end up going on your phone.

6. When you're two weeks away from finals and your professor tells you that you should probably start studying now:

7. When you sit down to take your final and the first question hits you like:

8. When you start the practice problems and you're just like:

9. When you're in your final and find a question that you actually know the answer to:

10. When that one annoying kid in your class says that the final was super easy and they aced it:

11. When you come back from your 7:30 a.m. final and crash:

12. When your professor tries to teach you new material a week before the final:

13. When you decide to eat away the pain that is finals week by ordering massive amounts of food:

14. Filling out course evaluations for that one difficult professor like:

15. When it's right before your first final and you're just like:

16. When your professor tells that you the final is cumulative:

17. When the kid next to you keeps looking over at your test:

18. Looking back on the outfits that you wore during finals week like:

19. When it's been two hours and you've only gotten through five notecards:

20. When you finally make it to the end of the week:
