10 Things Only Short People Understand
Kaitlyn Craig

If you're short like me, these are a few things I'm sure you can relate to!

1. Putting your feet on rails in front of you...never

Your legs are always too short to put your feet on the rails in front of you like at the movies, or other events. There is no point in trying.

2. Climbing on the kitchen counter to get stuff on the top shelf

You are basically a monkey when it come to getting anything on the top shelf in the kitchen.

3. Always looking for step stools or chairs to reach things

If nobody is home or available to help, a chair or stool is your best bet to reach anything you need.

4. Having to get your jeans hemmed so they don't go over your feet

Trying on jeans is a nightmare because you really never know how they fit because the pant legs always go past your feet. You always end up settling for the pair that is the shortest and have to find somebody to cut off the remaining two feet of fabric.

5. Having to ask people at the grocery store to get things for you

If the product you need is too high to reach for you, it's almost not worth it to get it.

6. Not having your feet touch the ground when you sit in a chair

Your feet fall asleep...you constantly look for the chairs that have the rungs on them rest your feet on.

7. Not being able to see over a crowd

There's no point in going anywhere that has a crowd if you can't be in the front.

8. Always being in the front for pictures

You always know where to be for pictures and people who know you know where to look for you in the pictures.

9. People always think you are way younger than you really are

I get mistaken for a 13 year old all the time...I'm almost 20. I guess it's a good thing??!!

10. Going to a high school/middle school event and being mistaken as a student....

I can't tell you how many times I have gone to take my brother lunch or something and teachers mistake me for a student. I try to tell them that I am a college student and they don't believe me.

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.
