18 Everyday Things All Short Girls Struggle With

1. High shelves

This should really be an Olympic sport. You can always figure out a way to climb to the very top shelf no matter what.

2. The pool

Otherwise known as struggling to keep your head above water and you have not even reached the deep end yet.

3. Concerts

Why is it that a giraffe always gets the spot in front of you? Just once, I'd like to not stretch to watch the show.

4. Pants

Even the "short" pants are too long. We either have to learn how to hem or just accept the holes in the bottom of your jeans.

5. Skirts and dresses

Don't want to struggle with pants that are too long? Have fun trying to find a dress or skirt that isn't too long. Or just rock that skirt as a dress, cause why not?

6. I SWEAR IM NOT 12!

I am an adult, I might be the size of a child, but I assure you that I am old enough to do things myself.

7. Driving

You can't reach the pedals. The sun visor doesn't block any sun at all. You can never get your seat back in the same spot after anyone else drives your car.

8. Mirrors at tall people's houses

Darn tall people, I'd really like to be able to see myself without climbing on something. Why can't tall and short people have mirrors together?!

9. Roller coasters

Yes, I know I barely meet the height requirement to get on this ride. No, you don't have to remind me of it for new next few hours.

10. Tall chairs

Why don't they make chairs shorter at restaurants? I swear my feet never touch the floor, not even on the toilet.

11. Kissing

At least my calfs are nice from standing on my tippy toes to kiss. But, being short has it's advantages, perfect height for forehead kisses.

12. Pictures

Taking pictures with your friends is always a struggle, either their heads are cut off, or your chin is cut off. A perfect picture is so hard to come by.

13. DO. NOT. PICK. ME. UP!

Just because I can fit in your pocket doesn't mean you can just pick me up whenever you want.

14. Puddles and snow


Jumping over a puddle with you little legs is like participating in the long jump event. Chances are you probably won't make it over the puddle and then your pants legs, that are three inches too long, will get wet and there's no quick way to get rid of that.

15. Jerks.

We all have those people that hold all your stuff over your head so you can't reach it… Just stop. We all hate you.

16. Thanks for using my head as an arm rest… not.

Just don't. I don't like smelling your arm pits.

17. Students? More like giants.

As an education major, I've come to the realization that even the middle schoolers are gonna be taller than me. Do they put miracle grow in the school lunches these days or what? If so, why wasn't that a thing when I was in school?

At the end of the day, being short is a challenge, but you've got to embrace it! Walk under all those low things other people have to duck for. Find the right guy and don't worry about him being too short! Tie your shoes with ease while those tall kids struggle. Curl up in a ball to keep warm. Leggings are always an option cause your shirts are way too big. Rock the oversized shirt style with ease. But most of all, love yourself!

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
