10 Questions Tall Girls Are Tired Of Hearing

As a child, I was always one of the taller girls in my school. I was given comments about my height from all of my friends and peers, along with questions that I was asked on a regular basis. Here is what not to ask tall people, especially girls.

1. "Why are you so tall?"

Um, I don't know. Genes? Maybe it's my secret superpowers. Who knows.

2. "How tall are you?"

I absolutely hate, hate, hate this question. I get it on a day to day basis when I meet someone new or stand next to someone more than five inches shorter than me. I'm 5"9', which in reality is not that tall.

3. "Could you reach this for me?"

Ah, probably the most asked question I get. Most of the time I'll just roll my eyes and do it, but sometimes I just walk away. Whether it be a fab switch, flour from the kitchen cabinets, or towels from the bathroom closet, this particular question gets on my nerves. Ladders were invented for a reason people!

4. "Did you ever play basketball?"

Yeah I did play basketball as a kid, and I was damn good at being the center position as well, along with the other sports I played. Just call me the MVP.

5. "How's the weather up there?"

HAHAHAHA. You're so funny! No. Just no.

6. "Do you have to specially order your jeans online?"

"No." *yes*.

7. "Are you going to wear heels?"

Yes, I am, and I'll be working it. I wore heels to every homecoming, prom, and formal I've been to. Just because I am taller than 5'6" does not mean I cannot wear what other girls can. If Kendall Jenner can wear heels with her height, than why can't I?

8. "Is it hard finding a guy that is taller than you?"

Of course not. You just have to get friendly and flirty with the basketball team. It's not as hard as it looks.

9. "Can I hide behind you so ____ can't see me?"

You would be surprised how many times people have asked me this. "Oh, you're tall! Can I just stand behind you so my ex can't see me?" No.

10. "Do you ever wish you were shorter?"

I love being tall and the perks that come with it. I may complain once and a while about feeling like a skyscraper next to most of my friends, but I enjoy my height.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
