I am 5'2". I haven't grown much since the summer of freshman year. And even then I only grew a quarter of an inch. I yearned for the longest time to be the ideal height of 5'5". When I was told by my doctor I'd never get to that height, I had no choice but to accept the fact I was "fun-sized," which actually isn't all that bad. For all you girls 5'4" and under, this article is dedicated to you.

The pros

1. You can wear whatever heel you want without worrying about your height

2. You can date shorter or taller guys

3. You don't have to dodge large objects because you fit underneath them

4. When you're told you grew since your last doctor's appointment it's a celebration

5. The limbo comes naturally to you

6. You take up less space

The cons

1. Basketball isn't your sport

Unfortunately, that's why I had to quit the sport I loved. I was a great point guard and shooting guard, as well as defenseman, when I was in middle school and everyone was roughly the same height. But as everyone was growing in height and I wasn’t, it was time to become a spectator.

2. Jeans are always TOO LONG

3. You fear large crowds

4. You can never reach that one cabinet

5. Not being able to see over that tall person who decides to sit directly in front of you

6. Having to move the driver's seat literally against the steering wheel

7. Standing in the shallow end of the pool with your head just peaking out of the water.

8. Always being the "armrest" for your tall friends

9. Not being able to keep up with your friends who have longer legs and take longer strides when they walk
