15 Things All Girls Who Are Shorter than 5'3" know too well

YouTube

Being short can have its pros and cons. I've gotten discounts because my height makes me look like a kid. On the other hand, I can't find jeans that fit me right.

1. Mirror selfies turn out to be a disaster

Any time I try to take a selfie in the mirror at a restaurant, it 9 times of of 10 comes out like this. At least my hair looks cute.

2. Climbing shelves to get something off the top

Catch me at Walmart climbing the shelf on aisle 9

3. Barely touching the bottom in a 5 ft pool

I literally have to stand on my tip toes in a 5ft pool. People look at me crazy but I don't care.

4. Basically getting in the washer to get your clothes out

I can't tell you how many times I have hurt my abdomen trying to get my laundry out of the washer.

5. Finding the perfect length of jeans is a chore itself

I have to buy the short length jeans because regular length is too long. I have to special order my length most of the time. Come on, help the short people out.

6. Getting blinded by the sun while driving

This is the problem I face DAILY. Even my sunglasses don't help. We need to fight for longer visors!

7. Being an arm rest for your tall friends

Look, I'm not an arm rest. Stop it

8. Your feet NEVER touch the floor when you're sitting in a chair

Don't you just love the feeling of your feet dangling?

9. Getting mistaken for a child

True story. My family and I went to the Titanic museum in Tennessee. They let me in on a kids ticket and did not ask my age. I believe I was 13 and the age limit was 10. This isn't all that bad since I'm saving money.

10. Sitting right up under the steering wheel

If someone else drives my car, they ALWAYS ask me why my seat is so close to the steering wheel. I'm 5'2. I can't reach the gas pedal.

11. Maxi dresses are a NO

I still wear them anyways only if I have my heels

12. Barely being tall enough to ride roller coasters

I'm sorry. You're not tall enough for this ride.

13. Being the shortest of your friends

Literally me

14. Concerts or movies usually suck if someone is in front of you

Just throw me over the crowd

15. Capris are basically regular jeans that make you flood

I've been guilty of flooding while wearing capris. No shame.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
