7 Little Reasons Girls Actually Love To Date Tall Guys

There are a million reasons why girls like taller guys, and while it does vary from girl-to-girl, here are the most popular reasons (both big and small) for why dating a tall guy is optimal:

1. Forehead kisses.

Having a guy bend down to give you a kiss on your forehead, or on the top of your head? UGH. It's the sweetest thing ever, it'll just make you turn red and melt into a puddle of warm and fuzzy feels. Ladies, am I right?

2. Bigger clothes to share.

Fellas, the bigger the sweatshirt, the more we love it. Girls are both famous and infamous for borrowing — often stealing — oversized shirts and sweatshirts from boys. And tall boys, if you're willing to share, we will gladly take any sweatshirts off your hands and wear them, because 1. they smell like you, 2. they're big and comfy, and 3. they remind us of you if we wear them when you're not around.

3. Being little spoon.

Don't get me wrong, we love to cuddle you, and we even like to be the big spoon sometimes, and yeah, sometimes we'll complain about getting squished, but we LOVE being the little spoon. Being snuggled around and wrapped in the arms of the person we care about the most? It's the ultimate form of a hug. There's nothing quite like it.

4. Getting carried.

There's a reason people flirt by giving piggy-back rides or playing chicken in the pool! Getting picked up and carried around by a guy gives us both a rush and a sense of comfort at the same time. It's the feeling of knowing that your man is big and strong and can literally sweep you off your feet. *Cue more melting*

5. Tiptoe kisses.

Now, I realize I am in more and more danger of getting all mushy and romantic as this article progresses, but this needs to be said, so if that happens, it happens. This one is definitely more of the 'cute factor' because there isn't really an explanation as to why girls love when a guy bends down to give you a kiss, and you have to get up on your tippy-toes, other than it's just plain cute. Like, it's cute as fuck.

6. Feeling protected.

Now, to the more scientific explanation. In studies, it's been found that a majority of women prefer to date men who are taller than they are because it makes them feel secure and physically protected, and this is often attributed to our inner biology, where internal, primal instincts tell some of us that a man who is physically bigger than us, is better equipped to keep us safe.

7. Bear hugs.

OK, last one, I promise! But ladies, you know what I'm talking about. Having a pair of big arms wrapped around you, from the front, or especially from behind? Close your eyes and imagine it, and you can literally feel the warmth spreading from your chest all the way down to your fingertips.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
