Struggles of Being "The Tall Girl"

10 Struggles All Super-Tall Girls Can Totally Relate To

Not many know the struggle of being a girl that is well over 5' 10". Half the time it feels like people are staring at how long your legs are, like they are contemplating how it is even physically possible. Whether you know the struggle or not, here are some things that super tall girls can totally relate to.

1. "OMG! How tall are you?"

We have definitely heard this quite a few times, and we've mastered a .2 second response.

2. We almost always get shotgun on car rides. No questions asked.

"Oh yeah, let her have shotgun, she needs the leg room." *SCORE*

3. Silently crying when you do have to sit in the back.

Can't. Move. My. Legs. Help.

4. "Do you play basketball?" or "I bet you are really good at basketball!"

Do I even have to explain this one? Just because i'm tall doesn't mean that I want to play a sport deemed for tall people.

5. Do I like him, or is he just taller than me?

The struggle is SO real when it comes to finding a guy taller than you are. So when you do come across a rare specimen with the oh-so-important qualification of being taller than you, it begs the question of, "Do I really like this person, or is he just tall?"

6. Pants.

Special-ordering your jeans becomes your specialty. You can almost NEVER just walk into a store and buy a pair of jeans because apparently they stop selling your size once you've grown beyond 5' 9". Inseams of 35" are a god-sent rarity and sometimes when those don't even seem to cut it, you have to hit the catalogs and order up a pair of 37" inseam jeans to be shipped specially for you and your giraffe legs.

7. Every skirt is a mini-skirt. Unless it's a maxi-skirt. Then it's capri length.

Hey there skirt section of the women's department! I'm sorry i've never stopped by to visit, but I know that despite how cute you are, none of you will make it past mid-thigh. Well... Maybe i'll cruise the maxi-skirt section! Never mind, none of them go past my ankles.

8. Oh you're still in high school? I honestly thought you were a senior in college.

Apparently having a few extra inches on you (or 5...) makes people thing you must be way older than you are. "No ma'am, i'm 18 not 23. Don't worry, common mistake."

9. "Hey, can you reach this for me?"

Oh.. Uhm.. I guess so.

10. You always slay.

Flaunting those long legs is the best thing ever. Make people turn their heads and be grateful that you can reach everything!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
