For those of you who don't know me, I'm only four foot nine, which I can't go a day without being reminded of. From the things people ask me, to the things I physically cannot do, here is a list of 15 problems all petite girls understand (and it doesn't end here):

First of all, you’ll probably always be asked how tall you are.

The answer is: I’m not tall.

Standing on your tippy toes to kiss your significant other.

Okay, you bend down, and I’ll stand on my tippy toes.

Needing a stool for virtually everything.

Closet? Yup. Shelves? Uh huh. Shopping? Yes, I wasn’t kidding.

Or when you climb on household objects.

The counter is my favorite.

When you don’t have shoes for a special occasion.

Sure, being able to fit into kid's shoes is great for the bank, but Dora isn't going to make the cut for the wedding.

Having to get your entire wardrobe tailored because even petites are too big.

Apparently only models can wear pants.

Being an arm rest for your taller friends.

“Oh my god, I can lean on your head!”

Or when your friends constantly ask to pick you up.

Personal space, please. Personal space.

You'll only be referred to as “adorable”

You will probably feel like a ten year old girl all of your life.

When people ask if you’re a legal midget.

“You could probably get a handicap pass!”

When a girl taller than you complains about how short she is.

Please. Tell me more.

Constantly getting stuck behind the tall people at the movies.

Yeah, the movie SOUNDED funny.

Getting cut in line.

"Oh sorry, were you on line?”

Or getting stuck behind a group of people.

You’ll probably never know what happened on the other side.

And finally there’s a perk: you’ll always get to merrily kick your feet.

Yes, it is as fun as it looks.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
