Short People Problems

There are a lot of awesome things about being short, however, there are also many struggles. Coming from someone that is just barely five feet tall, sometimes reaching the top shelf or finding clothes that fit seems impossible. Here are 10 short people problems I am sure you can relate to if you're a little vertically challenged like me:

1. When even the short people jeans are too long.

2. Reaching the top shelf is never an easy task.

3. Your tall friends think it's funny to use your head as an armrest.

4. You always seem to be running to keep up with people.

5. Driving isn't the easiest task.

6. You always seem to need a step stool.

7. You always find yourself rolling up your pants because they never fit right.

8. People always comment on how short you are.

9. You bought a prom dress knowing you would have to get it shortened.

10. Shirts are dresses on you.

11. When you high 5 tall people they think it's funny to reach their arm as high as they can to watch you jump.

12. When people hug you your face is squished into their boobs.

13. There are 5th graders taller than you.

14. People always think you're 5 years younger than you actually are.

15. When you wear high heels people say you're "nearly normal people height".

16. You always have to sit in the front of classrooms to see the board.

17. People always lean down when they take pictures with you.

18. Having to pray tall people don't sit in front of you when you go to the movies.

19. You always have to ask tall people for help when you are hanging up posters on your wall.

20. Getting onto the raised beds at college is a struggle.

21. You have to beg people to hold you on their shoulders at concerts so you can see.

22. People always push into you in large crowds because they can't see you.

23. You always find yourself climbing on top of the aisles at grocery stores to reach the item you want.

24. When you go to amusement parks your friends always joke that you won't be able to go on all the rides.

25. You stand on your tippy toes in pictures to look taller.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
