Struggles of Being "The Tall Girl"

10 Struggles All Super-Tall Girls Can Totally Relate To

Not many know the struggle of being a girl that is well over 5' 10". Half the time it feels like people are staring at how long your legs are, like they are contemplating how it is even physically possible. Whether you know the struggle or not, here are some things that super tall girls can totally relate to.

1. "OMG! How tall are you?"

We have definitely heard this quite a few times, and we've mastered a .2 second response.

2. We almost always get shotgun on car rides. No questions asked.

"Oh yeah, let her have shotgun, she needs the leg room." *SCORE*

3. Silently crying when you do have to sit in the back.

Can't. Move. My. Legs. Help.

4. "Do you play basketball?" or "I bet you are really good at basketball!"

Do I even have to explain this one? Just because i'm tall doesn't mean that I want to play a sport deemed for tall people.

5. Do I like him, or is he just taller than me?

The struggle is SO real when it comes to finding a guy taller than you are. So when you do come across a rare specimen with the oh-so-important qualification of being taller than you, it begs the question of, "Do I really like this person, or is he just tall?"

6. Pants.

Special-ordering your jeans becomes your specialty. You can almost NEVER just walk into a store and buy a pair of jeans because apparently they stop selling your size once you've grown beyond 5' 9". Inseams of 35" are a god-sent rarity and sometimes when those don't even seem to cut it, you have to hit the catalogs and order up a pair of 37" inseam jeans to be shipped specially for you and your giraffe legs.

7. Every skirt is a mini-skirt. Unless it's a maxi-skirt. Then it's capri length.

Hey there skirt section of the women's department! I'm sorry i've never stopped by to visit, but I know that despite how cute you are, none of you will make it past mid-thigh. Well... Maybe i'll cruise the maxi-skirt section! Never mind, none of them go past my ankles.

8. Oh you're still in high school? I honestly thought you were a senior in college.

Apparently having a few extra inches on you (or 5...) makes people thing you must be way older than you are. "No ma'am, i'm 18 not 23. Don't worry, common mistake."

9. "Hey, can you reach this for me?"

Oh.. Uhm.. I guess so.

10. You always slay.

Flaunting those long legs is the best thing ever. Make people turn their heads and be grateful that you can reach everything!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
