Short Girls May Look Cute From The Outside But We Have 7 Problems When Our Guy Is Ridiculously Tall

I feel pretty low when I remember I'm five feet tall — pun intended.

One of the biggest nuisances in my life is my height. At five feet tall, I'm short even by Asian standards, much to my ire. Sure, there are perks to being the tiny friend, but when it comes to dating, I wouldn't mind being a couple inches taller. It looks cute from the outside, but trust me, there are all sorts of annoying problems when you're dating someone a foot taller than you.

1. You always get mistaken for his little sister.

What gave it away — the hand holding or the kisses?

2. He has to pick you up to kiss you properly.

Giphy

Or just crouch down to your eye-level. That works, too.

3. So forehead kisses are basically non-existent.

Giphy

Unless he wants to break his neck reaching down, of course.

4. You're jealous of every girl with long, slender legs.

Giphy

I can daydream about supermodel legs all I want, but they're never gonna happen.

5. Wearing his shirt or jacket looks more absurd than cute.

Giphy

I thought clothes-sharing was supposed to be the epitome of romance, not a reason to cringe.

6. Slow dancing is just an awkward mess.

Giphy

I can't exactly put my arms around your neck when you're a foot taller than me, so awkward middle school dancing it is.

7. Your pictures look ridiculous unless you're both sitting down.

Giphy

I was hoping for "cute couple" vibes not "the most ridiculous height difference you'll ever see."

There are definitely perks to being short in some of life's situations, but when it comes to dating, it's a bit of a challenge!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.
