25 Problems All Tall Girls Have
Angela DeGenova

Any girl who is over the height of about 5'7 knows the struggles that come with being tall. Sure there's the benefits to it, such as having long legs, but there are also multiple disadvantages. Being tall isn't as great as it seems and here's a few reasons why.

1. Everyone telling you that you are tall.

As if you don’t already know.

2. Being told you should play basketball.

I may be tall but that does not mean I am coordinated enough to play a sport.

3. Finding jeans that are long enough.

Regular length shorts are capris. Always buy the long length.

4. Dresses are shirts/ maxi dresses don’t touch the ground.

They are just never long enough to comfortably wear.

5. Finding a guy that is taller than you.

It's impossible to find and when you finally do, you aren’t sure if you like him or just like him because he’s tall.

6. Not being able to wear heels without being judged.

You can never wear cute heels without being a giant. Stick to the flats.

7. Sitting at a desk.

Have my legs ever actually fit under a desk?

8. Rompers are short shorts.

It looks more like a diaper if anything.

9. Having short friends.

It's hard to feel cute when your the freakishly tall one of the group.

10. When a guy's height starts with five.

You cringe. Every time.

11. Long sleeve shirts aren’t long sleeve.

Companies need to realize tall people, also have long arms.

12. People use you for your height.

Yes, I can probably reach that for you.

13. Trying to fit in photos.

Oh, my head was cropped out…again.

14. Hotel showers.

Its kind of hard to shower when you don’t even fit under the shower head.

15. Hugging people that are shorter than you.

Always awkward.

16. Walking too fast.

I have long strides, okay?

17. Shorts are too short.

It was a joke when the school dress code had the finger length rule.

18. Dancing with someone.

This never goes as planned.

19. Shirts are all too small.

You better buy a large unless you want another crop top.

20. Being asked how tall you are.

5’9, now go away.

21. Not being able to fit in twin beds.

Lol if you ever try to fit another person in your bed.

22. Sitting in the backseat of a car.

The front seat better be all the way forward if you expect me to fit.

23.Having big feet.

You try finding shoes in a size 11 and see how easy it is.

24. Being lifted up.

It doesn’t happen.

25. When Short Girls Want Guys Over 6 ft

Please stop taking all the tall guys. Why do you need someone a foot taller than 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.
