10 Signs You Were Destined To Be The 'Short Girl'
Marissa Antonino

This is for us "shorties" who are reminded everyday about how short we really are. But hey, like they say, good things come in small packages!

1. You can never find a good pair of jeans.

Yup, that's right. You know those pants that are called "ankle" fit? Well, they're normal length on us shorties.

2. You are always someone's armrest.

Someone is constantly making fun of how short you are and how they can use your head as an armrest. Thanks--we get it.

3. You constantly have to climb in order to reach something.

Climbing has become one of our many talents.

4. People are always coming up with nicknames for you based on your height.

The amount of times I have been called "shorty" is crazy (even my boss uses that as my nickname).

5. You still fit into the clothes you wore back in middle school.

I mean, at least we don't have to constantly buy new clothes; we never grow out of them!

6. You have to pull your seat all the way up in order to drive.

Yes, driving can be a little difficult for us shorter people. It's a little hard to see over the steering wheel. We're still good drivers though!

7. People are always asking "Omg, how tall are you?"

Yes, I'm 4 feet, 10 and a half inches tall...I'll NEVER be 5 feet.

8. We always have an excuse to wear heels!

Even when we do wear heels, we still look short!

9. Your feet DON'T reach the ground when you sit in a chair.

I feel like such a kid every time I sit in a chair. My feet have never reached the ground.

10. You are constantly asking someone, "Hey can you reach that for me?"

As much as we hate to ask, we appreciate it!

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.
