Hello to all my short friends, I am here to vent about my short people problems that I have experienced as a 5 feet tall petite woman. It seems as if the world is out to get us all, whether it be that desks and chairs are too tall, shelves are too high, or clothes just don't fit right. Do not get me wrong, I like being short; it has its perks, and tall people do have to go through some tough first world problems. However, I would just like to take a minute to express to all the tall people what we shorties have to experience on a regular basis. Without further ado, here are ten first world problems that short people have to face:

You're lucky if you can see your entire face into a bathroom mirror.

They should just lower the mirrors...tall people can bend down, but short people can't bend up!

The grocery store is practically a jungle gym.

You are basically an expert rock climber and have the agility of a cat thanks to your shelf-climbing skills.

The rolled-up pants look isn't just for decoration.

The rolled-up pants look is a necessity unless you want bunched up ankles. Speaking of clothes, don't even get me STARTED on maxi skirts and dresses.

Movies and concerts all revolve around which spot gives you the best visual access.

Please get out of the way tall people so we can all enjoy the show, please and thank you.

You are always called "cute" and/or picked up by people.

I can't count the number of times people have tested to see how light I was, or how many people I barely knew have patted my head.

You almost drown every time your tall friends want to hang out in the 5' section of the pool.

A requirement for picking out a new car is having electric seats that scoot up all the way.

Fun Fact: Shorter people are more likely to die from air bag impact due to being too close to the steering wheel, so there's that.

Nobody ever takes you seriously.

Everybody always thinks you're adorable and cutesy when you're mad, so nobody ever takes you seriously. Joy.

You have to take 2 strides for every tall friend's stride.

The world just isn't made for your stature.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
