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.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
