16 Things Only Tall Girls Understand

There are some things that only us tall girls can understand. Growing up was a constant challenge between feeling super awkward and embracing our height. Once we're older we learn to love how tall we are, but there are definitely some struggles along the way. If you're a tall girl, you'll definitely have experienced these things:

1. You automatically gravitate towards the back and center while taking a picture because that's where you're always moved anyway.

2. You either played basketball in high school, or you were asked if you did a billion times.

3. Rompers just don't work.

4. When someone asks you how tall you are, you reply with: "I'm the same height as (insert high supermodel name here)."

5. You and a couple of boys were the tallest kids in your grade until high school.

6. You love heels, and you're going to wear them no matter how tall they make you.

7. Middle school was a constant battle against slouching to make yourself look shorter.

8. You've probably hit your head at least once on a shower head.

9. You always have a reason to ride shotgun in a small car because you can't fit in the back seat.

10. The main reason you visited the principal in high school was for breaking dress code with a skirt or dress. (Even if it was the same one a shorter girl was wearing.)

11. Even if you don't work out, you can still manage to look athletic. (my personal fave benefit of being tall)

12. People tell you how tall you are ALL THE TIME.

13. You still haven't quite figured out how to hug short people.

14. The top of your head has been cut off in pictures.

15. You've always been the one who gives the piggy back ride.

16. Trying to cross your legs while sitting at a desk is the worst.

No matter how awkward life as a tall girl can get, we embrace being "vertically blessed" and wouldn't change it for anything.

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.
