I'm not the tallest person around, that's for sure. With being on the shorter side of height (*cough cough* 5'2") there are many daily struggles I face. I'm sure if you are short like me, you might agree with some of these as well.
1. You literally look up at almost everybody.
My neck gets quite tired at having to lookup just to have a conversation with somebody.
2. While driving, you basically sit in the dashboard.
I know it's dangerous, but I can't reach the gas pedal otherwise.
3. You can't keep up with anybody while walking.
Your friends aren't even walking fast, but to you, you're basically running to keep up with them.
4. Stepstools are your BFF.
You need them to reach about anything, and you're really good at climbing now.
5. Swimming in the deep end of the pool.
You might be the greatest swimmer around, but as soon as you hit at least five feet in the pool, you feel like you're drowning.
6. Everyone uses you as an armrest.
We get it, it's convenient, but we were not made to provide you with a resting spot.
7. Buying pants.
"Short" pants are not meant for short people. They are still too long.
8. You always have to ask people to reach stuff for you.
Sometimes we just like to be able to do stuff for ourselves.
9. You must be in the front row of group pictures.
No, we're not trying to be the center of attention, we're just trying to be seen.
10. Sitting in a chair, your feet don't always reach the floor.
Yes, our legs do start to go numb.
11. You look way younger than you really are.
Yes we're in college, yes we look like we're 12.
