5 Times Being The Short Friend Really Sucks
Akim Powell

We’ve all heard the saying “big things come in small packages” but maybe in a different context but it totally fits with this conversation right? It sucks being the short one in the friend group, like hello share some of the extraterrestrial height and an overly long torso that God blessed you with to your vertically challenged friend.

Though, we do have some perks like our outfits ALWAYS looks 10x better than others, it doesn’t completely make up for all the cons.

1. Taking pictures is such a hassle

Either my friend has to bend down so low that her neck becomes non-existent or I have to literally stand on my tiptoes like I’m auditioning for the Black Swan for over 3omins while we attempt to get the perfect angle.

I’m literally breaking into sweats thinking about it. To all the tall friends out there reading this: Invest in flats immediately, or get a footjob.


2. Everyone else is called “hot” and you’re “cute”

Sweetie, “cute” is for Juicy Couture sweatsuits and Chanel sunglasses, not me. Being called cute is just as bad as being called “shorty.” I don't want to be “cute” I WANT TO BE HOT. I want to be 5’11 and Kendall Jenner but instead, I'm Kylie Jenner’s baby, Stormie Webster. I’ve just come to turns with it, and I converted the meaning “cute” to “cuter than your present, and way cuter than your future.”

3. Always getting carded after your friends have walked straight into the bar, even when you're the oldest.

Sadly, this will be my struggle throughout my entire life. I’m actually the oldest out all of my friends but I will continue to get carded the most.

Try sneak buying a drink at the bars, the bouncers will automatically find you like a mouse in a maze and snatch your $8 whiskey sour that you worked so hard to get while your friends laugh at you and sip their drinks. Life isn’t fair, and neither is throwing my drink away.

4. I’m always put in the middle

If I had a dollar for every time I was put in the middle of the back seat, I would probably stop my misery of college and drop out now. The most awkward moment is when your friend is picking guys up from the bar and because you’re so little, she sits you in the middle of the back seat with them. #ihatemylife #whymelord

5. Flats are never an option

Okay, honestly who wears flats? I mean yeah if you’re a social worker but if you’re a college student “flats” are nonexistent and that actually sounds like an insult. All the girls wear here are OTBT wedges and other heels so my life is completely over.

Words of wisdom: INVEST IN FLATS OR BEFRIEND ME.

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. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. 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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
