There are two words that physically describe me: skinny and short. And for my entire life, I've been just that: skinny and short. While life down here isn't as sunny as it might be up where you are, and my natural waist line is the number some people "only dream of having." Sorry I'm a size 00. I can't help but hoping that my growth spurt will hit next year, and that maybe squatting 30 more squats will make me curvier. Maybe then I wouldn't be 22 looking like I'm 12.

If you're like me, and can't help your vertically challenged and your curves don't exist, you'll know these seven (annoying) things:

1. Everyone tells you to "You need a cheeseburger."

Interchangeable with "You need some meat on your bones!" "Don't you eat?" And "you weigh as much as my left thigh." You're trying to tell me politely that I'm skinny, but I haven't forgotten.

2. Shopping for jeans is impossible.

If they fit around my waist, they don't fit length. If the fit length, they don't fit my waist. If they fit length and waist, they don't fit my butt or thighs. So screw it, and buy more leggings it is.

3. People always quip that "You don't need to work out."

Yes, I do. Just because I'm skinny, doesn't mean I'm healthy, or that I can't better my body even more by working out.

4. People run into you. All the time.

When your head is at everyone's belly level, they tend to not see you. Hi, short person down here, please don't run into me.

5. You're always asking "Can you reach this for me?"

Top shelf isn't an option, at home, at the grocery store, at the mall.

6. Sometimes, only the children's section fits you.

Yeah, it saves me money, but it's not exactly "age appropriate" when the only Pajama's I can buy are My Little Pony themed.

7. You eat fast food several times a day and it isn't going to your thighs.

Because nothing goes to my thighs.
