36 Problems Every Tall Girl Has
Total Sorority Move

How's the weather up there? If you've heard that line before, then you may in the population blessed with extraordinary height. And this extraordinary height isn't exactly welcomed by society. Pair that with being a girl and you've got a recipe for disaster. Here's a list of 36 problems that tall girls hold close to their heart.

1. Never being able to find dresses that are long enough at your favorite stores.

2. Normal length pants look like capris on you.


3. Shirts look more like crop tops and crop tops look more like bandeaus on you.

4. Only being able to wear heels around fellow tall people, but still feeling like an Amazon whenever shorter people stand next to you.

5. Sitting in the backseat of a car and having your knees hit the seat in front of you and your head hit the top of the car.

6. Going to take a shower and having to bend down to get your head under the water.

7. Being asked if you've played basketball before or that you'd be good at it.

8. Or being asked to get something down that's too high for someone.

9. When people ask how much you weigh and then don't believe you because they forget to factor in your height.

10. Stretching when standing up and hitting the ceiling.


11. Having to slow down when walking with other people because your stride is four times the size of theirs.

12. Being in the front of a crowd and feeling guilty for blocking everyone's view.

13. Having to say no to a nice guy because he's half a foot shorter than you.

14. When you go to hug someone and their head ends up on your boobs.

15. Being tall enough for people to tell you to be a model, but in reality, you're in the awkward area of being just too short to make it.

16. Your friends use your body to block the sun from shining into their eyes.

17. Finally finding a guy tall enough to properly hug and being friend-zoned.

18. Your feet are big because of your height and you can never find cute shoes in your size.

19. Having to lean down so far you're basically kneeling in group pictures.

20. When your friends talk about how much they enjoy taking baths and you're just over there thinking about how you can't fit in the tub.

21. Going to buy footy pajamas only to realize that none of them can even get over your shoulders.

22. Feeling like you're falling when you go to use the bathroom, since the toilets are so close to the ground for normal sized people.

23. When girls who are average height complain about being 'sooo tall.'

24. When you stand up in a bathroom stall and everyone can see your head popping out of the stall.

25. Having to stand half way across the room or having to bend over to see your whole outfit in a full length mirror.

26. Getting a backache from leaning over while doing the dishes.

27. Having people tell you how tall you are, but the moment you tell them how short they are, they get defensive.

28. Having to stop way before an intersection so you can see when the light changes without bending forward.

29. Buying knee-high socks in the store for them to only reach mid-calf height.

30. Getting stuck in the back row of every school and group picture.

31. Family members always comment on your height at every gathering.

32. And asking if you'll ever stop growing.

33. Not being able to cross your legs under tables without hitting your knees.

34. One piece swimsuits are off limits.

35. Having to hold the umbrella when walking with your friends in the rain.

36. And finally, when you actually like being tall, but everyone thinks you should hate 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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
