7 Reasons You're Selling Yourself Short By Only Dating Tall Guys

We all have a type, obviously. But if yours just so happens to be 6'3" and only 6'3", let me tell you about the benefits of dating a shorter guy.

1. When you need to complain about something beyond your control, he empathizes. 

He wouldn't change a thing about you, but he understands why you want to talk about something you don't like. Mainly because he understands what it's like to feel less than about something he can't change.

2. He'll never use your head as an armrest. 

That annoying thing really tall people do every so often where they rest their elbow on your head, look down and say, "Hey, how's the weather down there?" Yeah, he's never done that to you. Not because he can't, but because it happens to him all the time.

3. They're full of confidence.

In a world where short guys are often overlooked simply because of their height, they manage to make up for it in confidence. While some may be deemed cocky, in the same vein a woman is considered "stuck up" simply because she knows what she wants, short guys are brewing with security. It may have taken them their whole lives to get that security, but it's there.

4. They plan THE BEST dates.

With tall guys, you are pretty much used to the same old same old date night. Movies, dinner, and hooking up in the back of his truck. Until Mr. 5'7" Casanova comes along with roses in his hand, a walk in the park, and a romantic picnic, you never knew what you were missing out on.

5. You have a larger dating pool.

Putting height requirements at the bottom of your preference list will give you the opportunity to find love a lot quicker than being stuck in heartbreak over the 6'3" guys around you.

6. You can kiss easier.

Especially if you're also on the shorter side, kissing while standing up becomes a whole lot easier with someone who doesn't tower over you.

7. You'll never have to sacrifice the top of his head for the sake of a cute Instagram.

Because couples who selfie well together, stay together.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
