We all have that one friend that can never reach anything ,causing them to become extremely dependent on step stools. They also seem to develop  amazing ninja skills, enabling them to find the most unique ways to climb anything they can’t reach.

1. You have trouble reaching anything on the top shelf

Sometimes you have to improvise to get what you want, even if it means climbing a store shelf.

2. The “dangling feet dance”

That moment your feet refuse to touch the ground, due to your height.

3. Not being able to see over the steering wheel

The struggle is real.

4. Running after your friends 

Dear friends with extremely long legs, please walk slowly or at our pace.  This will prevent us from having to sprint after you.

5. Looking up to tall people when having a conversation

Two words…neck pain.

6. Standing on your tippy toes

Dear tall people, please be a bit considerate of short people and allow us to stand in front of you.

7. Constantly being called short

Short girls don’t need a reminder of how short they are, we are well aware of it.

8. People using you as an arm rest

You know what…just don’t do this. Ever.

Although short girls are unable to reach things that are placed on high shelves, we are amazing at problem solving because we always find a way.

 

 

Meet Chantelle, I am Chantelle,currently a Junior at Utica College majoring in Public Relations and Journalism to receive my Bachelors of Science degree. I am the treasurer for the Residence Hall Association at Utica College, in which i help students to improve the environment of their residence halls by fundraising to bring enjoyable and inclusive activities to residents.I believe that helping to improve the residence halls will allow students to not only appreciate, but respect their living spaces. I work in the Writing center as a tutor. I am a member of The National Society of Leadership and Success and a sister of Theta Phi Alpha.
Meet Bianca, I am currently a Junior at Utica College in Utica, NY.  I am a Criminal Justice major with a concentration in Homeland Security.  Crime investigation has always been something that interests me.  I’m dedicated and passionate and it’s hard for me to quit things. I get that from my father so don’t hold it against me- he was a veteran and police officer for 20 years.   Growing up in a family centered around law enforcement has helped guide me in this direction, and I will forever be grateful.  After graduation I intend to continue on to law school where I can further my education in hopes of becoming a criminal defense lawyer and later on a District Attorney.  An interesting fact about myself is that I found the passion to be a criminal defense lawyer from watching the O.J. Simpson case.  The facts and conspiracy theories evoked a whole new passion behind criminal investigation that I intend to use in my future.  One of my most prominent moments in my writing career was when I wrote for an online magazine and had my most prevalent article hit 1.6k shares.  I believe in treating people with the same kind of respect and manners you would expect in return, and in a way it has helped shaped my expectations in life.   When you first meet me I won’t be the loudest in the room or the center of attention, but I will be intently listening to everything you say, for what you have to say may have a purpose. I believe in purpose. I believe that everyone is here to help you grow into who you are today and who you will be tomorrow.
