18 Daily Struggles Of Being Short
Twitter

A lot of people have different, funny struggles in life. Some people have really big feet, some people have really small feet, some people have really small hands, some people have chubby fingers, some people have thin hair, thick hair, it goes on. One struggle that I know personally is the struggle of being so short that sometimes people can’t even see me. And, as well all know, being short also comes with looking really young. Yay! That’s just one of the thousand million problems I have. Here are some more:


1. I have a stepping stool in my closet.

Can't reach my clothes.

2. I have a stepping stool in my kitchen.

Can't reach my plates, spoons, microwave or freezer. Ugh.

3. “I can only wear those pants with heels.”

4. “I’m getting an SUV.” “Are you allowed?”

K.

5. Though I do move the seat all the way up and as tall as it can go.

6. *At the DMV* “How tall are you?”

“Like… 5’2!”

"...Okay, let's just measure.”

7. “Are you old enough to rent a bike?”

You have to be 15 to rent a bike!!

8. “Can I see your ID?”

"Yes! You can! It’s my 21st!"

“What year were you born?”

"It’s LITERALLY my 21st."

9. High five! Okay. Low five.

10. “Give it to me!” “Okay. If you can reach it out of my hand.”

Evil. Pure evil.

11. “Ha ha, I’m taller than you and I’m wearing flats and you’re wearing heels.”

Yep. I’m aware.

12. “Can you get this down for me?”

13. Shower head is pointing the wrong way. Guess I'll just leave it then.

14. My feet don’t reach the floor when I sit in a chair.

Or on the couch. Or on the toilet. Or ever.

15. “It’s a lounge pool, it only goes to five feet deep!” *drowns*

16. I seriously could not pull myself up onto the dorm beds.

They were not made for people like me. I got a stepping stool.

17. They have to move the pedicure seat as far forward as it can go.

18. I can’t climb into my roommate’s jeep.


That pretty much sums up my everyday struggles. Us short people should make a club.

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.
