20 Struggles Tall Girls Know To Be True

So you throw on your favorite pair of 5 inch heels, walk into a party, and instantly BAM you're hit with the questions, "Why are you wearing heels? You're already tall enough!" I'm wearing heels because I WANT to. Even though I'm already 5'8, these heels complete the outfit and I can still rock them even if I do look like a giant. So your life is like buddy the elf's. There are many struggles of being "that tall girl" but hey, at least I never had a problem getting onto rides or roller coasters at amusement parks!

Here's 20 struggles of being a tall girl:

1. "Can you stand in the back of the group picture or just squat down in the front?"

2. Not being able to wear heels without looking like a giant or towering over everyone.

3. ALWAYS being taller than all of your friends.

4. Walking into a family event and getting the "Omg did you grow even more since last time I saw you?"

"Probably.."

5. You're taller than 80 percent of guys and finding a guy that is taller than you is nearly impossible.

6. "You're SO tall!"

"Thanks I didn't know.."

7. Having to order your jeans online because they don't sell a size 4 extra long in stores.

8. Don't even think of putting on a romper, it's either an awkward camel toe or WAY too much booty.

9. "How's the weather up there?"

I'll step on you.

10. Clothes always fit awkwardly.

11. "Can you reach that for me?"

I will forever be helping people reach the top shelf at the grocery store or something way up high in the closet.

12. "Do you play basketball or volleyball?"

13. Always feeling bad for people sitting behind you at a show or sporting event.

This is probably what they're thinking...

14. Not being able to cross your legs under a table or your desk because they're too long.

15. Feeling like buddy the elf when you're trying to shower under a short shower head.

16. Dresses and skirts are ALWAYS short on you.

17. Your friends get annoyed at you when you're walking too fast in front of them, because your stride is like 5 times theirs.

18. You're always hitting your head on lamps, ceiling fans, branches, and sometimes even ceilings.

19. Airplane and car rides are torture due to the lack of legroom you have.

20. Always being described as "lanky."


Why try to fit in when you were born to stand out? Embrace your inner tall girl.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
