Short Girl Problems

"How's the weather down there?"

If you're going to make fun of my height, at least be more creative than that. Honestly, the weather is the same all the way down here. It's just less windy. Growing up, I never really grew up, and everyone just loves pointing that out to me. While being short does have its perks, it leads to universal problems that every short girl can relate to.

1. Something's on the top shelf? You're definitely not reaching that.

My roommate actually bought me a step stool so I can reach the storage above my closet. Joke's on her because I still can't reach it.

2. Adding an extra inch to your height when someone asks you how tall you are and saying "on a good day" after it.

I'm 5'3" on a good day and that's none of your business.

3. Cuffing your jeans is not a fashion choice.

Yes, it looks cute, but I only do it because my jeans are 4 inches too long otherwise.

4. Being used as an armrest

I know I am the perfect armrest height. That doesn't mean I want to be used as one.

5. Being laughed at when you're angry

Apparently being short and angry makes you adorable, so it's very hard to be taken seriously.

6. Being given kids' menus at restaurants

I stopped eating off the kids' menu when I was eight. I'm eighteen now. Please can I have a real menu?

7. People just love to hold things above your head and make you jump for them.

Can I please just have my phone/textbook/binder/snack back? This is unnecessary and if this is your best source of entertainment, you need to find a hobby.

8. People will literally just run into you sometimes

You couldn't see me all the way down here? Interesting.

9. Having to speed walk to keep up with your friends

My little legs just can't keep up.

10. Feeling like you're drowning

Deep end of the pool? Nope. That weird drop off in the ocean? That's a no-go.

11. Not being able to see over whoever is sitting in front of you

Movies, concerts, plays, classes, sporting events... Good luck seeing anything.

. . . . . .

But hey, at least we never have to duck and don't have to worry about dating someone taller than us (not that that matters, of course).

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.

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
