Although being short can come with its advantages, it's not always the easiest life.

1. People assume you are a freshman

“Are you interested in joining Greek life?” Thanks but I’ve been in a sorority for three years already.

2. You rarely see the screen in class

You would think that movie theater seating would work in your favor, but even when your row is higher than the one in front of you, two tall guys always manage to block your view.

3. Your little in your sorority is taller than you

Its not a question of who carries who, on their back for big-little pictures anymore. Even with your grand little.

4. You get carded at the same bar twice

“I'll takes two gin and tonics please”

“I know you had to get carded before you got in but can I see your card one more time?"

5. Every incoming freshman looks more mature than you

Not only are 18 year olds taller than you, but also more mature. How do you just pop out of the womb knowing how to contour? Why are you more stylish than me? Where is the crimper? WHERE ARE THE GOUCHOS?

Me:

6. You never get a good view

Ooo tickets to that concert? Hopefully friend videos it so you can watch it later because there’s no way you’ll be able to see it. You better get good at jumping or you better get really used to staring at that guy’s back the entire time too.

7. The "freshman fifteen" is real

When your short, it is way easier to tell when you are on a meal plan that lets you choose corndogs over salad. And cookies. And baked mac 'n cheese bites.... need I go on?

Of course, many things suck about being 5’2 and a senior in college. But hey, always having to be in the front row for pictures isn’t that bad, and there are worse problems than always being shorter than your boyfriend.
