I feel pretty low when I remember I'm five feet tall — pun intended.

One of the biggest nuisances in my life is my height. At five feet tall, I'm short even by Asian standards, much to my ire. Sure, there are perks to being the tiny friend, but when it comes to dating, I wouldn't mind being a couple inches taller. It looks cute from the outside, but trust me, there are all sorts of annoying problems when you're dating someone a foot taller than you.

1. You always get mistaken for his little sister.

What gave it away — the hand holding or the kisses?

2. He has to pick you up to kiss you properly.

Giphy

Or just crouch down to your eye-level. That works, too.

3. So forehead kisses are basically non-existent.

Giphy

Unless he wants to break his neck reaching down, of course.

4. You're jealous of every girl with long, slender legs.

Giphy

I can daydream about supermodel legs all I want, but they're never gonna happen.

5. Wearing his shirt or jacket looks more absurd than cute.

Giphy

I thought clothes-sharing was supposed to be the epitome of romance, not a reason to cringe.

6. Slow dancing is just an awkward mess.

Giphy

I can't exactly put my arms around your neck when you're a foot taller than me, so awkward middle school dancing it is.

7. Your pictures look ridiculous unless you're both sitting down.

Giphy

I was hoping for "cute couple" vibes not "the most ridiculous height difference you'll ever see."

There are definitely perks to being short in some of life's situations, but when it comes to dating, it's a bit of a challenge!

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.
