As a girl standing at 6'2", I don't think I could count on my hands and feet how many remarks I get about being tall. It doesn't matter where I am, who says it, or if it's appropriate or not – as soon as I walk outside my room I know I'll get some sort of comment on my height. Whether you're a boy or a girl, if you're tall then you've most likely heard something along these lines.

1. "Oh my god, you're SO tall!

Thank you, random person. All my life I thought I was short! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come to this realization.

2. "How tall are you?!!"

I don't know, how short are you?!!

3. "Do you play basketball?"

I've never played a sport in my life, nor do I have the coordination to play any. Nice try though.

4. "You should be a model!"

I'm flattered, really, thank you for boosting my self-esteem. However, just because I'm tall does not mean I am fit to be a model.

5. Random people feeling the need to tell you about their tall friend/relative/coworker.

I honestly don't care about your son's best friend, your nephew, or coworker's daughter, but I'll stand here and pretend like I do to be polite.

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

LOL, wow I've never heard that one before!!! You're so funny and completely original!

7. "Why don't you like being tall?"

I mean, besides the fact I have to buy all my pants and shoes online to ensure a size that fits and being taller than every attractive boy I see, it's a blast! Seriously! Love it!

8. "You're blocking the view."

Uhm, I am the view.

9. "You can so wear heels!"

Please, stop lying to yourself.

10. "Normally I'm the tall one, you make me feel so short!"

Not to be rude, but you must have friends all under 5'5" because you're not really that tall.

11. "You gotta find yourself a nice, tall basketball player or something."

Are you sure they exist? Cause I can't seem to find any.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
