1. You can always be more comfortable in hugs

While being a tall person is great, hugs are way better as a short person. You feel protected and honestly safer.

2. You are perfect for pictures

Up front is where you are. You always have a smile in front of everyone because you are a short little person, might as well embrace it and smile!

3. Leg room is super easy to find

Any car, any place, and anywhere. Leg room will never be problem.

4. You can take a nap anywhere

If it be in the backseat of a car or a child's twin size bed, you will always be comfortable and have just enough room.

5. You never get hit by branches

Don't ever worry about having to bend down and worry about getting hit by a branch. It rarely happens.

6. You can easily go through a crowd

Honestly you won't ever need to shove. Just walk on and trust me, you will not be stopped.

7. You can shop in the children's section

Personally, I am only 5 feet 1 inch and weigh 110 pounds, I still sometimes shop at a kids. It's comfy and totally cheaper!

8. Heels can be any size

You NEVER have to worry about being too tall. You will never be too tall!

9. Passing as a child? No problem.

Not only can you shop at a children's section. You can also eat at restaurants a child.

10. You personality is HUGE!

Even though you are short, you will most likely be wild inside. You will be loud and there will be so much power in the way you do anything really.

Being short is rough. Every person will put their arm on you and will pick you up when you give them a hug. It happens, but you will always be proud of your height and should embrace it!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
