14 Things Only Tall Girls Can Somehow Never Seem To Get Over
Abbie Wood

I never really considered myself to be that tall until other people pointed it out to me.

There are definitely people out there that are taller than I am, but for some reason, I'm constantly reminded how tall I am.

This doesn't seem like such a bad thing, but it comes with some struggles for sure.

There are perks like being able to reach the top cabinets or reaching the pedals of a car, but most of the time I find myself feeling like Buddy the Elf, a giant among cute little elves, who literally and figuratively doesn't fix it.

1. Buying Pants

Good luck finding a pair of pants that are long enough to reach your ankles. Cropped pants? forget about it. Shorts? HA! typically inappropriate.

2. Jumpsuits/Rompers

These. were. not. designed. with. anyone. over. 5'7". in. mind. They're either going to give you a major wedgie or be high waters, neither are cute.

3. Heels

Super cute, make or break an outfit, also make you even taller than your friends.. Just what you need! NOT

which brings me to my next point:

4. Dating

I don't know why, but society decided it's the norm for your boyfriend to be taller than you, so when you're tall, your dating pool shrinks immensely. Especially if they're still supposed to be taller than you in those dreaded heels

5. Awkward pictures

If you're taller than your friends, you look gigantic next to them in pictures. Maybe it's inches to your height the camera really adds?????

6. Dresses

Ah, another shopping struggle. Maxi dresses are hardly maxis and sundresses hardly cover you

7. Thus, dress codes were a nightmare

Your shorts/dresses weren't short! your legs are just long!

8. People saying "wow! you're tall!"

Wow, you have eyes!

9. "Do you play basketball?"

Does that answer your question?

10. Being taller than your teachers

I was taller than my 9th-grade male English teacher and I felt like I should have been the one in power. I don't know!!! it was all so confusing!!!!

11. Legroom

Backseats and airplanes are pretty much your worst nightmare

12. Being in the back of all group photos

It doesn't matter that you actually found pants to fit you BECAUSE NO ONES GONNA SEE THEM IN THOSE PICTURES!!

13. Being afraid your kid will be a monster

So if I'm tall and I'm supposed to marry someone taller than me, and my calculations are correct, then tall + tall = TALLER?!?

14. Googling your newest celeb crush's height


Zac Efron, you're only 5'8" but that can't stop what my heart feels

I'll leave you with one of the most inspiring quotes I've ever seen, "Why are tall girls afraid of wearing heels and being taller than guys? Wear them and pat them on their head like he's your son."

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
