The girl that sticks out in the pictures.
The girl that can't wear heels to prom because then her dress won't hit the ground and she'll be taller than her date.
The girl that has to order her jeans online because she needs extra longs.
The girl who constantly turns down guys because they are "too short."

Yes, I am that girl, and I know that there are many others like me out there.

So here it is, the cold hard and funny truth about being tall.

Short guys look at you like giants and are sometimes scared off by your height.

Your friends are all shorter than you, and pictures just never look right.

You just sometimes have to turn down the guys that are, well, just too short.

Legs on legs... From prom dresses to jeans, you will forever hate how long your legs are. I mean, other than when they look reaaaaal good.

Everyone just assumes you are a superstar basketball player.

Back to guys, the tall ones are rare, but once you see them stand up, you are instantly in love.

Your normal pace of walking is like a sprint to your short friends.

When someone you just met tells you that you're tall as if you weren't aware of your height.

When all these girls around you can find the perfect pair of jeans, and dresses actually look like a dress and not shirts on them. They can get all the boys. Even the short ones.

Then you realize that your height is what makes you, you. Even if you feel like a giant 99% of the time.

And hey, you could stomp on half of those short dudes and judgmental girls out there. So keep staring at the tall girls, we could kick your a** any day.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
