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.

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.

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.

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.
