It is no secret to the people I know that I am short. I'm almost 5'2" (the almost is extremely important), and I've found that I tend to date people who are way taller than me. Like a whole foot taller than me. My last few boyfriends have been at least 6'2", and my current boyfriend is 6'6". I have found that there are some struggles to dating tall guys, but also some things that are fantastic and I'm here to tell you about it.


Kissing can be rough. When you're standing and having to kiss, he has to bend down or you have to look up and stand way on your tip toes, and it can be super uncomfortable. You can even try and meet in the middle, but it just feels kinda weird. On the bright side, you can get showered with forehead kisses, which are always really sweet.

Walking is also difficult. They have long legs and you do not. I feel like a puppy trying to trot along next to my boyfriend or I feel like an Olympic Speed Walker, and I sometimes have to remind him to slow down. He can walk way faster than I can, which can be great when he wants to get to the car to cool it down before you get in.

Tying into the previous paragraph, when you're tired and don't want to walk anymore, he can give you piggyback rides that make you feel like you're on top of the world ... literally. And because he can walk so much faster than you, you can get to your destination much quicker. This is also great if you decide to go to an outdoor concert and you can't see. He can just put you up on his back or his shoulders and you can get the perfect view.

Because he's so tall, he can grab things for you. He can grab the cookies at the top of the shelf, and he can grab that wine at the top shelf for you at the store. He can also change the light bulbs for you. He can also grab things from the bedside table because his arms are way longer than yours. This can also be a disadvantage when they're feeling mean and want to keep something from you.

On a date night, you can wear those super cute heels that you just bought without having to worry about looking too tall next to your bae. You can wear those heels and feel like a powerful princess, and he can feel super comfortable being able to actually kind of kiss you.

And let's be real, you won't be bringing any food home from that date night because, well, boys like to eat. Doesn't matter if they're tall or not, they will eat anything. You won't have to worry about leftovers. If you're not hungry you can just turn to your man and say, "Hey, you want the rest of this?" The answer will most likely be yes.

And after that date night where you looked super fly, you and your boyfriend can cuddle. Cuddling with your boyfriend is super easy, because you might just be the right fit for each other. Spooning is basically perfect, because you fit so well together. Here's a hint: try letting him be the little spoon, he might really enjoy it. He will most likely have a huge bed, as well, because he's so tall, so when he gets up, you can spread out.

If you're just the right height for your boyfriend, you can be lucky enough that when you hug, your head rests right on his chest and you can hear his heart beat. Even if your boyfriend is just a little bit taller than that, you're still super lucky because you can feel super safe in his arms.

And when your boyfriend is tall, that just means that there's more of him to love.

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.
