If I had a dollar for every time someone felt the need to call me short I would be a billionaire. The disappointing truth is that I haven't grown an inch since my eighth grade year. There are many benefits of being short, such as the ability to crawl into tiny spaces, having massive amounts of leg space in the car when people recline their seats all the way back, fitting completely under a blanket without worrying about your feet sticking out of one end, and never having to worry about being taller than your potential boyfriend or girlfriend. However, there are always the typical every day struggles that set us back. If you're a short girl, these problems should hit home pretty hard.

1. People are constantly using you as their personal arm rest.

2. The likelihood that you'll be able to reach that cabinet without a step-ladder? Forget it.

3. Keeping up with your friends who have longer legs gets exhausting real quick.

4. Wearing cute maxi dresses or finding pants that fit the length of your legs are both near impossible to do.

5. You have to pull your seat as close to the steering wheel as possible in order to reach the pedals.

6. You always get stuck in the front row when taking group photos.

7. Trying to see over tall people at events is horrendous.

8. Chances are, your feet won't ever touch the ground when you sit in a chair.

9. When everyone tells you, "You're not THAT short!"

10. Struggling to keep your head above water because, let's face it, pools were not made for us vertically challenged people.

11. But when you finally find someone who is shorter than you, the satisfaction is glorious.
