ATTN

Maybe you used to be the tallest in your elementary class until everyone else surpassed you, or maybe you've just always been the short girl. One thing you know for sure is your short height has put you through some rough encounters. But that's OK. We know we're not getting any taller so here's to being a shorty for life! Here's 12 #shortgirlprobs all of us short girls out there can relate to.

1. Going on your tippy toes just isn't enough

You end up having to climb on top of the counter to reach the top shelf.

2. The constant reminder

Constantly being reminded of how short you are as if you may have forgotten.

3. Heels as high as you want

You can wear heels as high as you want and you'll most likely still be shorter than the rest of your friends.

4. Short jokes

People think it's funny to use your head as an arm rest but you've been tired of that joke for years now.

5. Are you washing clothes or yourself?

You have to practically throw yourself into the washer machine to retrieve your clothes.

6. Sitting ridiculously close to your steering wheel

You have to move your seat up an unsafe amount to actually reach the gas and brake pedal.

7. Short walks get you winded

You have to put in twice the amount of effort to keep up with people while walking, thanks to your two inch long legs.

8. Shopping nightmare

Shopping for clothes is stressful enough but you've mastered the hacks: this shirt can be a dress and these capris can be jeans.

9. You notice every little pound you lose or gain *sigh*

10. Modeling was never an option

Your dreams of becoming a runway model have crushed years ago when you realized you would have to be an entire foot taller.

11. No, I'm not 12.

People mistake you for being way younger than you actually are thanks to your height.

12. You've learned to embrace and own your shortness because let’s be real, you’re not getting any taller!

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.
