Being short can be annoying, but it can also be fun, and it's what makes you unique! As short people, we run into some hilarious situations that the rest of the world just can't relate to. Here are 15 of them.

1. Being called “cute”.


2. When people think you're the younger sibling but you're actually the oldest.

3. Your parents would always lie about your age to get cheaper movie tickets or amusement park tickets.

4. When you drive, it's tough to get the seat in the perfect spot where you can reach the pedals and see over the wheel.


5.You can completely ignore “caution low ceiling” signs.

6.People are constantly making puns about your height.


“It’s you and me!”

7. Taking pictures is never easy; you have to come up with creative poses so that everyone's head can fit in the picture.

8. Your feet don't reach the ground when you're sitting in a chair.


9. You have tiny feet, so you can buy shoes in the kids' section.

10. You borrow your friends' shirts and wear them as dresses.

11. Leg room is never an issue.

12. You can't see in the mirrors in public bathrooms.

13. You're always stuck with the middle seat on car rides.

14. People ask you what it's like to be short.

"I don't know, I've never been tall."

15. Instead of being known for your intelligence or athleticism or humor, you're known for being short.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine.

When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
