We all know that being short can sometimes sucks. There's the part where jeans always have to be either folded or hemmed to fit us properly, how always have to look up to people at eye level, never catching up with others during a race... The list goes on and on, but what if we turned this thought around and looked at the bright side of it? If you think about it, there are actually many awesome things about being short!


1. You always have leg room.

Whether it's in the car, plane, or the couch, go ahead and spread those legs because your tiny legs won't keep you from sacrificing comfort.

2. You can wear heels without fear of towering over anyone.

This point is especially if you're on a date with a guy, and you fear that you might end up taller than him. Even with six-inch heels, you're still good to go.

3. You're always put in the front for group pictures.

As they say, "pics or it didn't happen." You never have to worry about being cut off in pictures.

4. You will always get assistance with lifting heavy objects.

It's always nice to get help when you're carrying something twice your weight or size or both. Note to tall people: please help out your fellow short people, we all truly appreciate it.

5. Maxi Skirts = Dresses

In a rush to class or work? Need a quick outfit? Pull up a maxi skirt and you've got a knee-length dress! Put on a jacket if you're feeling chilly, and you're all good to go!

6. Cuddling is the absolute best thing.

Couch time with bae is more comfortable for both when you're short, since there's more room for both of you. Here's to hours of Netflix marathons while being little spoon.

7. You have less leg space to shave.

We all know that shaving is the worst, no matter how often you do it. With shorter legs, you're able to finish much quicker and continuing with your life sooner.

8. You use tall people as shields.

When it's raining, snowing, sleeting or hailing, go ahead and grab your favorite tall person, and use them as a shield from the elements.

9. Finding a place to nap is no problem.

Any bed, couch, corner, desk makes a great place to nap whenever you're in need of one.

10. Your personality makes up for your lack of height.

Everyone knows that short people are usually the nicest and most outgoing. You won't regret befriending a short person!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
