1. You can always be more comfortable in hugs

While being a tall person is great, hugs are way better as a short person. You feel protected and honestly safer.

2. You are perfect for pictures

Up front is where you are. You always have a smile in front of everyone because you are a short little person, might as well embrace it and smile!

3. Leg room is super easy to find

Any car, any place, and anywhere. Leg room will never be problem.

4. You can take a nap anywhere

If it be in the backseat of a car or a child's twin size bed, you will always be comfortable and have just enough room.

5. You never get hit by branches

Don't ever worry about having to bend down and worry about getting hit by a branch. It rarely happens.

6. You can easily go through a crowd

Honestly you won't ever need to shove. Just walk on and trust me, you will not be stopped.

7. You can shop in the children's section

Personally, I am only 5 feet 1 inch and weigh 110 pounds, I still sometimes shop at a kids. It's comfy and totally cheaper!

8. Heels can be any size

You NEVER have to worry about being too tall. You will never be too tall!

9. Passing as a child? No problem.

Not only can you shop at a children's section. You can also eat at restaurants a child.

10. You personality is HUGE!

Even though you are short, you will most likely be wild inside. You will be loud and there will be so much power in the way you do anything really.

Being short is rough. Every person will put their arm on you and will pick you up when you give them a hug. It happens, but you will always be proud of your height and should embrace it!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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

Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus.

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.

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?
