10 Things Girls 5-Feet Or Shorter Hate Hearing

Yes, I'm 4'11. Yes, I know I'm short. You don't have to constantly remind me. Here are other things you don't have to say either.

1. Aren't you considered a midget?

No, actually, I am not. But thanks for your concern.

2. How do you reach the top of the cabinet?

Very carefully.

3. You're the perfect height for an armrest!

Yes, you're so right. I just love when you drape your heavy arm on my shoulder. It's great, really.

4. What's the weather like down there?

It's the exact same as the weather "up there."

5. At least you don't have to worry about a guy being taller than you.

I guess that's a plus.

6. Do you have to slide your seat all the way up when you drive so you can see?

Obviously. Since I am only 4'11, my legs aren't very long and it's difficult to see over the steering wheel.

7. What grade are you in?

I'm in college. Stop asking me if I'm a freshman in high school. Thank you.

8. Would you like a kid's menu?

Okay, look. I know I'm small and could pass for a high school student, but do I really look so young that I need a kid's menu? Seriously?9. Why do you walk so slow?

MY LEGS ARE SHORT. I can't take three steps and be across the room like the rest of you giants can. Give me a break and wait on me.

10. Do you ever wonder what it's like to be the size of a normal person?

Nope. Never. Short is perfect.

Oh college, lovely, lovely college. A four-year time span that is filled with many highs and many lows. Between procrastinating on an essay that is due at midnight to getting your first library card (if you know what I mean), college is a time that you should not take for granted, yet it is also a time where you feel like your entire world is falling apart. It is a time where one day you can feel like you are on top of the world and then the next day you are 500 feet below the ground surface.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.
