Embrace your height, girl!

Just because we have lots of #tallgirlprobs doesn't mean we can't celebrate the perks too! You've read about the struggles in other articles, but here's some positivity about being tall!

1. You don't have to stand on a chair to see into cabinets or tall shelves.

You can reach it yourself, thank you very much.

2. You don't feel the need to wear heels to be taller.

You wear heels if you're feeling it, not because you feel "too short" without them. You cannot even fathom what it would be like to think you were "too short."

3. You get to sit in the front seat more

People cannot avoid that your legs are longer and you will be a much better fit for riding shotgun or driving than getting crammed in the backseat on a road trip.

4. Dresses and pants are NEVER too long for you

For all those girls who have to find the perfect heel height for their clothes or take them to be hemmed, may you rest in peace. In the meantime, I'll enjoy the length on my size extra long jeans.

5. You can always see over everyone in a crowd

No need for tip toes or getting on anyone's shoulders for you!

6. People have told you all your life you should be a model

Dialogue: "Wow that's so sweet of you, but no. Definitely not me."

7. Your tallness comes in handy when you play sports.

Don't be ashamed of your height because it can help you do great things!

8. Countless people wish they had your height.

Own your tall figure and wear whatever kind of shoes you want!

9. Nobody can borrow your shoes because their feet are too small for them.

Don't even think about saying that your bigger feet are to blame for this problem. Small feet on a tall girl would be weird, anyway.

10. Your tallness doesn't define you, you define you.

Just be yourself and feel comfortable with however tall the good Lord made you!

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
