10 Things Only Short People Understand
Kaitlyn Craig

If you're short like me, these are a few things I'm sure you can relate to!

1. Putting your feet on rails in front of you...never

Your legs are always too short to put your feet on the rails in front of you like at the movies, or other events. There is no point in trying.

2. Climbing on the kitchen counter to get stuff on the top shelf

You are basically a monkey when it come to getting anything on the top shelf in the kitchen.

3. Always looking for step stools or chairs to reach things

If nobody is home or available to help, a chair or stool is your best bet to reach anything you need.

4. Having to get your jeans hemmed so they don't go over your feet

Trying on jeans is a nightmare because you really never know how they fit because the pant legs always go past your feet. You always end up settling for the pair that is the shortest and have to find somebody to cut off the remaining two feet of fabric.

5. Having to ask people at the grocery store to get things for you

If the product you need is too high to reach for you, it's almost not worth it to get it.

6. Not having your feet touch the ground when you sit in a chair

Your feet fall asleep...you constantly look for the chairs that have the rungs on them rest your feet on.

7. Not being able to see over a crowd

There's no point in going anywhere that has a crowd if you can't be in the front.

8. Always being in the front for pictures

You always know where to be for pictures and people who know you know where to look for you in the pictures.

9. People always think you are way younger than you really are

I get mistaken for a 13 year old all the time...I'm almost 20. I guess it's a good thing??!!

10. Going to a high school/middle school event and being mistaken as a student....

I can't tell you how many times I have gone to take my brother lunch or something and teachers mistake me for a student. I try to tell them that I am a college student and they don't believe me.

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.
