10 Struggles of a Tall, Lanky Girl

There's always some guy with a Napoleon complex who is extremely irritated that even though you were blessed with the tall gene, you still chose to wear heels out.

10 Struggles of a Tall, Lanky Girl

Standing at a solid 5'10", most people would consider me tall. While I am well aware that there are Amazonian-like women who are taller than I am, I still fall prey to many struggles that only my tall counterparts can understand. Once I sat down and thought about some of the ridiculous questions and comments I've received as a result of my height, I decided to chronicle some of them.

1. "Isn't it weird that your date is shorter than you are?"

2. "It must be so easy for you to go shopping -- I bet everything fits you perfectly because you're so tall!"

Uhh, no. In fact, shopping is impossible because jeans are always too short or too loose, and please don't even get me started on trying to find a jumpsuit that fits.

3. "Hahaha, do you know how awkward you look dancing?"


4. At a party: "Hey, can you see if you can find Jenna? I'm too short."

You're welcome.

5. "I can't take pictures with you."

What, so now I can't have any cute pictures on my Facebook timeline? It's not my fault!

6. “Why do you wear heels when you're already so tall?"



Just because I'm tall doesn't mean I'm not entitled to the enjoyment of well-made shoes!

7. “You know, if you were just a little bit thinner, or maybe if you had bigger features, you could probably model!"


8. "Do you even eat?"



Doritos.

9. “Can you come over and get something off the top shelf for me? I can't reach it."



10. How are you so tall?


Genetics? Too much milk, perhaps?

THE END.

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.
