If you’re on the shorter side, know that you’re not alone. The struggles you face are ones nearly all short girls can relate to.
A solution to most

Simple—just step on whatever gives you a little extra height!

A different ladder
One perk of being short is learning to be resourceful. If you can’t reach the top, just use the shelves as a ladder—just be sure they’re sturdy enough to hold you!

When your boyfriend is tall
If you live with a tall person, consider rearranging the appliances so you don’t need a chair every time you use the microwave.

When you’re not sure
If you’re unsure whether to consider yourself short, ask yourself this:
Do you have to climb onto your kitchen counter just to reach items in your cabinet? If so, then yes—you’re short.

On a swing
If it weren’t for her drink and that bright smile, you’d think this woman wasn’t enjoying the swing—she nearly needed a step stool just to get on!

When driving
Most short girls find themselves sitting uncomfortably close to the steering wheel. Not only is this awkward, but it’s also unsafe. A good cushion or a few books can help fix the problem.

Looking at your reflection
Sometimes, the simplest things can be the most frustrating. Take this mirror, for example—I bet this woman had to stand on her tiptoes just to see her reflection.

Finding clothes that make you look tall
Heels, high-waisted pants, and skinny jeans make the perfect combo for looking taller. A well-chosen pose adds to the effect, too.

Too short for jumpsuits
Jumpsuits that are too long can always be altered to fit your height. Opt for solid colors and avoid patterns, as they can make you appear shorter.

When decorating the Christmas tree
Decorating a Christmas tree takes even longer when you’re short—especially if you’re too proud to use a bench or ladder to reach the top.

Short girls can definitely rock climb like everyone else—they just have to put in extra effort to reach the rocks and pull themselves up.

Not the RV
Most RVs aren’t exactly designed with short girls in mind. Just look at this outdoor kitchen—cooking and washing dishes at that height doesn’t seem very comfortable.
