10 Questions Tall Girls Are Tired Of Hearing

As a child, I was always one of the taller girls in my school. I was given comments about my height from all of my friends and peers, along with questions that I was asked on a regular basis. Here is what not to ask tall people, especially girls.

1. "Why are you so tall?"

Um, I don't know. Genes? Maybe it's my secret superpowers. Who knows.

2. "How tall are you?"

I absolutely hate, hate, hate this question. I get it on a day to day basis when I meet someone new or stand next to someone more than five inches shorter than me. I'm 5"9', which in reality is not that tall.

3. "Could you reach this for me?"

Ah, probably the most asked question I get. Most of the time I'll just roll my eyes and do it, but sometimes I just walk away. Whether it be a fab switch, flour from the kitchen cabinets, or towels from the bathroom closet, this particular question gets on my nerves. Ladders were invented for a reason people!

4. "Did you ever play basketball?"

Yeah I did play basketball as a kid, and I was damn good at being the center position as well, along with the other sports I played. Just call me the MVP.

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

HAHAHAHA. You're so funny! No. Just no.

6. "Do you have to specially order your jeans online?"

"No." *yes*.

7. "Are you going to wear heels?"

Yes, I am, and I'll be working it. I wore heels to every homecoming, prom, and formal I've been to. Just because I am taller than 5'6" does not mean I cannot wear what other girls can. If Kendall Jenner can wear heels with her height, than why can't I?

8. "Is it hard finding a guy that is taller than you?"

Of course not. You just have to get friendly and flirty with the basketball team. It's not as hard as it looks.

9. "Can I hide behind you so ____ can't see me?"

You would be surprised how many times people have asked me this. "Oh, you're tall! Can I just stand behind you so my ex can't see me?" No.

10. "Do you ever wish you were shorter?"

I love being tall and the perks that come with it. I may complain once and a while about feeling like a skyscraper next to most of my friends, but I enjoy my height.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
