10 Things Tall Girls Are Sick of Hearing

As a woman who considers herself to be tall I have collected a few quips that I am sure all tall ladies are sick of hearing. Some things you may be surprised people have actually said, so here is a list of 10 things tall girls are sick of hearing.

1. " Wow! you're so tall!"

Thanks captain obvious. Odds are I've looked in the mirror a few times and understand that I am in fact tall. So congrats on making that acute observation.

2. "Good luck finding a man that's taller than you."

I actually don't need your luck but thanks anyways Sharon. If I was really that superficial, I would have a lot more things to worry about other than "if he's taller than me."

3. "I can't believe you're wearing high heels"

All I can say to that is seriously? You can't believe I'm wearing heels? I wasn't aware you had so much input in the matter of my shoe choice! I don't care if I'm 9 feet tall I'm going to wear heels if I feel like it.

4. "Can you move over please, I can't see"

Dude I'm sorry that my height is affecting your view but there's not much I can do about it, besides I ain't apologizing for the natural gift of height the Lord blessed me with.

5. "All tall people stand in the back. That means you too _________."

Great. Another picture where you only see half of my face and I end up looking like this guy did.

6. "You're dress is kinda short"

Okay, but have you tried shopping for dresses in this day and age? Because you look and look for a good one that actually fits your waist and bust and it ends up looking like a shirt on you because the dresses they make these days are as short as they come. So yes Becky I'm aware my dress is kinda short.

7. "Well I'm sure you would be great at Basketball and Volleyball since you're so tall."

Lol at this one because your height actually has nothing to do with your athletic ability. Speaking from experience I can honestly tell you being tall doesn't put you in more games over your shorter teammates.

8. "Well all tall girls are so thin, I'm sure you don't have to watch what you eat."

Not only is this inaccurate, it's also crossing the line. It's pretty unfair to assume that all tall girls are happy with their body image or can eat whatever they want. And body image is different for every girl no matter her height, weight or age.

9. "Are you sure you don't need more leg room back there?"

This one actually isn't that annoying it's just a reminder that you do in fact have long awkward legs that seem to prohibit you from fitting anywhere comfortably.

10. "So... how tall are you?

Ah, yes the question. It's not that you are ashamed of your height it's that they are asking you like they have never seen someone so tall before. And this of course makes you feel like some freak/giant.


So that's that! You can jump and jump but you are never gonna reach our level. Literally.

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.
