As someone who is under 5-feet tall, I get lots of comments on my height. Below are 11 comments I'm tired of hearing. All of these are real and have been said to me in my lifetime.

1. "You are the perfect height for an arm rest."

Please don't touch me. I am a person not a piece of furniture.

2. "Awe, you make me feel so tall."

Congratulations! You are tall.

3. "Hey, Willy Wonka needs you back at the factory."

Ha. No.

4. "So, like... are you a legal midget."

This is not only extremely offensive but also extremely insensitive. People shouldn't be defined by their height. " A person's a person, no matter how small." — Dr. Seuss

5. "Can you pick that up for me, you are closer to the ground?"

If you ask me a favor, of course I can help. However, if you use that moment to make fun of my height, you can pick it up yourself. Its demeaning and I'm not your servant.

6. "You are just so adorable."

I know, thank you.

7. "The Yellow Brick Road is that way."

How original. You are just asking to get smashed by a falling house aren't you.

8. "I didn't realize you were this short."

Really?!? I mean I didn't shrink.

9. "I bet you are really good at hide-and-seek."

How about you hide and never come back.

10. "Why are you walking so fast?"

I have short legs and to keep up with a normal person I have to increase my speed. For every step you take I need to take two.

11. "Why can't you keep up?"

When you are walking with someone who's legs are the longer than your height, you are bound to get slightly behind.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
