If you're 5'10 or above, you'll find this relatable

Being tall is amazing, but here are some well deserved and relatable facts of life for all the semi-giants out there.

  1. People Have Always Thought You Were Older Than You Were.

I was the first grader who got kicked off the mall playground because they thought I was twelve.

2. Pants Will Usually Be Too Short.

Unless you go online at Old Navy, you’ll be rolling your pants up to make them look like ankle pants, and even capris. The best tall person hack is just wearing riding boots.

3. “You’re Too Tall To Date Me."

That one burns, but just pat that jerk on the head and walk away. Someday your giant will come. Or a person who is shorter than you and not intimidated by your height. 'Cause that's just plain dumb.


4. Sleeping While Traveling Economically Is Never Comfortable.

Your 5’2 friends talk about how they are able to just curl up in ordinary airplane seats, and you picture yourself trying to sleep in about 100 different ways. NEVER GIVE UP THE AISLE SEAT.

5. “Do You Play Basketball?”

“Do you play mini golf?”


6. Walking Faster Than Your Shorter Friends.

You’re just walking with your shorter bestie and then you turn around and wait for a minute for them to catch up. They finally reach you, and they're panting and out of breath!

"Remember, 5'2"!!"


7. Tripping On Small Children and Dogs.

You feel awful, but it’s hard to see down there...

8. The Top of the Fridge was Made for You.

It’s the most comfortable place to put things. Some tall people will even rest their arms on top of it while sipping a beer and talking to dinner guests.


9. “Why Do You Wear Heels if You’re So Tall?”

Because they’re shoes, and I like them.


10. Getting Out of Small Cars, or Really Anything Smaller Than an SUV.

This is hilarious and it’s actually quite difficult.

11. "How's the Air up There?"

No. Stop. Please. Stop.

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.
