Being small has its good times

Being small has its good times

Being short is not always a bad thing. Yes, you can be the butt of all jokes and constantly made fun of. You may need to carry a stool where ever you go because you just cannot reach. There are several good things that can be good about being short.


1. You can wear as high of heels as you want

You can where any size heel that you prefer. No matter the size of the heel you will never be taller then people but you will be able look better in some heels than taller people.

2. You can hide and fit into small places

You are able to play hide and seek better than anyone else. You can try and fit into suitcases. It may not be very comfortable to be in a suitcase but you can make it work. You can crawl under things to get around. The only bad side people will ask you to grab their stuff for them.

3. You can pass as a child sometimes which can mean cheaper prices

A good thing about being small and looking like a child you can still order off of the children's menu and will not be judged for it. You can also play on the playground and be small enough to still be able to crawl around tight spaces.

4. The taller people become human shields

You can take shelter from anything by using your taller friend. Whether it is to avoid a person you do not like or from the elements of nature. Either way it is always good to have a tall friend for times like this.

5. Your feet never reach the ground when sitting in a chair

One thing is that no matter how you sit your feet will never touch the ground. You are able to sit criss cross apple sauce on the chair without falling over. You will also be able to swing your feet easier.

6. When you climb things you gain upper body strength

You will never be able to reach everything that you need but when you climb to get things that you need you are able to gain upper body strength.

7. Tall People let you go in front of them at places

Tall people will feel really guilty about being in your way so they will have you go in front of them. Isn't that nice?

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads.
