Pros And Cons Of Being A 6'1 Female

"How tall are you?"

Pros And Cons Of Being A 6'1 Female
Cally Stanich

This article is an everyday struggle of what a tall girl has to face. It includes the funny truth of how difficult it is sometimes to be tall. But girl, if you are tall, flaunt that sh*t because your height is beautiful and don't ever think it's not. Go tall girls, you got this!

1. Pro: Long legs.

Everyone knows that long legs are sexy. As uncoordinated as they make you, they look good in a nice dress.

2. Con: Twin beds are your worst nightmare.

There is nothing worse than hopping into your warm, cozy bed and having your feet hang off the end. Especially when you walk into your dorm room on the first day, look at your bed and realize that you may have a few mild cases of hypothermia.

3. Pro: You always make it in group photos.

Ever felt like your face was the one to get cut off in every group photo? Can't relate! When you're tall, you're always towering above your friends, which ensures the fact that, when the photo inevitably goes on Facebook, your beaming grin will be easily seen. Heels not needed.

4. Con: "Do you play basketball?"

Every. F*cking. Time. Someone sees how tall I am, and the first question that pops out of their mouth is whether or not I play basketball. Then it is followed by how I've wasted my height when I say, "No." Just because I'm tall does not mean that I'm coordinated enough to dunk. Leave me alone.

5. Pro: If you're heavier, it's not as noticeable.

Freshman 15? No problem for a tall girl. A big frame can easily hide the fact you've eaten your body weight in ramen noodles this past semester. Weight on taller girls evens out better throughout your body. It almost makes up for the fact that my jeans are too short.

6. Con: You can never find cute shoes in your size.

When you get into the double digits of shoes, they go from cute pumps to your grandmother's loafers. Sure, they have great arch support, but I wasn't going for the "middle-aged-dad-at-a-barbecue" look.

7. Pro: You walk faster than your short friends.

For every short friend, it takes them an average of three steps to make up for my one stride. I'll often hear the familiar cries of, "please slow down," or, "stop walking so fast." It usual ends in a piggy back ride and a happy 5'5".

8. Con: Clothing is too short.

You can feel it now. The air changes when you slip your leg into the pant hole and pray to the denim gods that there will be no ankle showage today. This is usually followed by a silent whimper when it passes the no fly zone. Then the walk of shame back to the target counter where the return lady knows you by first name and jean size.

9. Pros: You can intimidate people with your height.

I never worry when walking down the street at night. People don't usually go for the tall and meaty. They usually pray on the short and weak. It's pretty hard to drag tall people into a van...

10) Con: Boys that are shorter than you.

Enough said.

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.
