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!

Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.
