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.

As a result, you got some nice toned legs!

The world just isn't made for your stature.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
