Tall girls hear a lot of crap everyday and most of the time we just roll our eyes at what we hear. We have heard all the jokes about the weather and whatever other jokes that people come up with that they think are funny. I personally have developed a whole range of replies to those jokes and the comments that people like to make; however, this article is all about the things that us tall girls hear on a daily basis.

1. Wow, you must have played on so many sports teams in high school.

Band counted as gym so it counts as a sport, right? If so, then yes. If not, no.

2. What sport do you play in college?

Hi, I may have the height to play on a Division One Basketball Team, but I don't have the athletics ability to do so. The last time I played basketball was in Biddy League and I was horrible.

3. How tall are your parents?

I usually tell them how tall my dad is and then tell them about how short my mom is. I honestly get so sick of this question.

4. Your dress is too short.

My legs are long and I can't help it #notsorry.

5. Guys won't like you since you are so much taller than them.

If anyone tells this to any of my fellow tall girls out there, cut those negative people out of your life. I struggled with this for a long time and guess what?

I'm now happily dating a wonderful man that is two inches shorter than me and IT DOESN'T MATTER! The right guy will love you for exactly who you are and won't care that you are taller.

6. Is there enough leg room back there?

Yes, of course, is my answer even though my knees are in the air and I barely can get my legs behind the seat. *For anyone who has tall friends please make it a rule that tall friends automatically call shotgun at all times.*

7. Are you sure that you don't need to order the tall size?

I hear this from my mom and grandma all the time when I order my clothes.

Thankfully, I have found a brand that I consistently order from that always meets my expectations and fits perfectly!

8. Wow, you have gotten so tall.

Well, I mean you haven't seen me since I was five so I was bound to grow at some point.

9. Can you move to the back for the picture?

No, I really don't because I want to be in the front with all my friends, but whatever.

10. Do you like being tall?

I think I have a love-dislike relationship with it because sometimes it's great and other times it's not.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
