A lot of people think being short is a bad thing. But standing at 4' 10", I actually think being short is kinda great. "We maintain a great perspective on life because we're always looking up!"

1. There is no shortage of leg room.

While your friends who are taller than you are complaining about how they don't have leg room in planes or cars you can just sit back and relax because your legs probably don't even touch the ground.

2. Heels are never a problem.

You know those people who wear heels and tower over everyone even their dates? Well, being short, that is never a problem. Either you are still short in heels or you're an average height.

3. You have an amazing amount of body strength.

Climbing all those counters and shelves definitely paid off because now you have upper body strength no one would really expect.

4. Cheaper shoes.

Being short means you also have small feet and having small feet means cheaper shoes, even if it means there are no stilettos in your shoe size.

5. You can pass as a child, which means kids menu's and cheaper prices for food as well as a pretty neat coloring sheet.

I'm guilty of taking advantage of this one ALOT. But the kid's menu has the perfect food portions and prices. Also, coloring while waiting for your food isn't the worst way to spend your time.
