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.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
