Being a short girl in a world full of taller people can be annoying to the point of inconvenience. From constantly being referred to as "cute" to having to stand on their tiptoes to reach the top shelf, short girls deal with plenty of struggles.

Standing at 5'1'', I know what it's like to live below the line of average height. Here are some things all short girls can relate to.

1. People assume you're much younger than you actually are

Everyone you meet is amazed that you're not twelve years old, and they make sure you know it. "Wow! You're so small for your age!"

2. You constantly have to roll up your jeans

It's not a fashion trend when you walk outside with cuffed pants--it's a necessity. The only other option is to hem your jeans. Otherwise, the fabric bunches up around your ankles.

3. You're not even that tall when you put on high heels

When you wear high heels, you decide to suffer through the blisters and aching feet to gain a few inches. But in reality, now you're just average height.

4. Your friends make fun of the way you drive

You have to sit really close to the steering wheel in order to reach the pedals. All of your friends know this and refer to you as "grandma".

5. People think it's funny to ask, "How's the weather down there?"

It's literally the exact same. Weather doesn't drastically change a few feet down.

6. You have to jog to keep up with your taller friends when walking beside them

They seem to forget that their legs are twice as long as yours. They walk at a leisurely pace while you work hard to keep up.

7. Concerts are more about hearing and less about seeing

When you're in the middle of a mosh pit, the only thing you can see is the back of the guy in front of you.

8. You're easily lost in the crowd

Walking down crowded streets is a nightmare. People seem to think you're invisible and brush you aside.

9. You climb on top of counters daily in order to reach the top shelf

It's just a part of your daily routine by now. You need to reach that pan on the very top shelf? Up the counter you go.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
