13 Struggles Tall Girls Just Can't Escape
The Huffington Post

Because sometimes, being tall is the struggle. A blessing and curse all at the same time, here are 13 tall girl problems:

1. Bathroom stalls can be awkward.

That awkward moment when you casually walk into a bathroom stall that stops at shoulder height. Not only can you see over every stall around you, but everyone else notices it too.

2. You're automatically an athlete.

"You play basketball don't you??" The answer is no

3. Small spaces aren't easy.

Two door car? Don't you dare try to squeeze me in the back. I'm in there looking like ^

4. One size fits all? Not a thing.


Having to decide if clothes were designed to be dresses or shirts, and every pair of jeans leaves you flooding. Having hope that clothes will actually fit, meanwhile you walk out of the dressing room like...

5. Hugs are weird.

Yes, I know your face goes directly into my chest, no I cannot help it.

6. You stick out like a sore thumb.

Being tall means getting noticed whether you want to or not. As soon as you walk in a room your height grabs everyone's attention

7. Spots that are relaxing for normal people are impossible for us.

Bubble baths? Legs too long for the tub. Want to casually lay on a bed? Legs hang off. Your whole body is cold? Better get an extra long blanket.

8. All of the super original jokes.

"How's the weather up there?"

"What did your mother feed you as a child?"

9. Your really short friends make you look even taller.

I'm not really tall, you're just really short...

10. People at concerts HATE YOU.

To the people who are forced to stand behind me at concerts....sorry, not sorry.

11. You save the day for short people.

whether it's the top shelf at the grocery store or something that would normally require a ladder, tall people will always come in clutch for those hard to reach items.

12. Dealing with door frames, low cars, ceiling fans, etc.


Having to duck when walking into certain rooms...take caution.

13. Finding tall guys is a tall order.

Because most the time we end up looking like this.

To all the tall people who go through the daily struggle, I'm rooting for you.

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.
