It's not that easy being tall.

11 Struggles Tall Girls Know Too Well
Cloudfront

When you are tall, you’ve inevitably been asked "How’s the weather up there?", "Did you play basketball?" or "can you reach up and get this for me?" Being tall has its up, but it also has its struggles. Struggles that short people will never be able to understand.

1.Your pants look like this far too often.

Ladies, it’s a good thing ankle pants are in right now, because we can all just pretend you bought your pants like this purposefully and aren’t actually just a giant who can’t fit into regular pants.

2. This has inevitably happened to you when taking pictures.

Your “normally-sized" friends fit perfectly in the photo, so you sometimes end up just with your head cut off. I mean, at least your outfit is cute, right?

3. People always ask you to reach things for them.

I mean, reaching for things on the top shelf isn’t a difficult task for you at all. It just wears on you after a while.

4. You are a literal giant in heels.

Girls like to wear heels, but for tall girls, it becomes an event. You have to make the conscious decision to wear them and have to ask yourself if you are ready to deal with the comments about how tall you are.

5. Your legs probably don't fit under most desks.

Want to cross your legs under the desk? Not gonna happen unless you want it to lift six inches in the air. Your only option is to sit far away or slouch to the ground essentially.

6. It’s always a guessing game when trying to buy dresses.

Will this dress reach an acceptable length? Find out next time on “I’m too tall for everything I try on.” You most likely end up making this face after trying on your tweflth dress too.

7. Someone always makes a comment about your legs when hitting on you.

You just ruined your chances. Bye.

8. You have been in a shower when this happened.

Well, looks like I'm getting clean and getting my squats in for today! Perfect! Said no one ever.

9. Long sleeves are always shorter than expected.

Long sleeves, they're for you, right? You're long so it’s a perfect fit. Wrong. Long sleeves are about as unpredictable as pants. It looks like all your clothes shrunk in the dryer half the time.

10. People assume you play sports.

Yeah, I do play sports but not because I’m tall, god.

11. Your posture is probably bad.

Whether it's trying to fit your legs under a desk, bending over to fit in small spaces or slouching to appear smaller, your back is definitely paying for it.

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.
