10 Things Tall Girls Are Sick of Hearing

As a woman who considers herself to be tall I have collected a few quips that I am sure all tall ladies are sick of hearing. Some things you may be surprised people have actually said, so here is a list of 10 things tall girls are sick of hearing.

1. " Wow! you're so tall!"

Thanks captain obvious. Odds are I've looked in the mirror a few times and understand that I am in fact tall. So congrats on making that acute observation.

2. "Good luck finding a man that's taller than you."

I actually don't need your luck but thanks anyways Sharon. If I was really that superficial, I would have a lot more things to worry about other than "if he's taller than me."

3. "I can't believe you're wearing high heels"

All I can say to that is seriously? You can't believe I'm wearing heels? I wasn't aware you had so much input in the matter of my shoe choice! I don't care if I'm 9 feet tall I'm going to wear heels if I feel like it.

4. "Can you move over please, I can't see"

Dude I'm sorry that my height is affecting your view but there's not much I can do about it, besides I ain't apologizing for the natural gift of height the Lord blessed me with.

5. "All tall people stand in the back. That means you too _________."

Great. Another picture where you only see half of my face and I end up looking like this guy did.

6. "You're dress is kinda short"

Okay, but have you tried shopping for dresses in this day and age? Because you look and look for a good one that actually fits your waist and bust and it ends up looking like a shirt on you because the dresses they make these days are as short as they come. So yes Becky I'm aware my dress is kinda short.

7. "Well I'm sure you would be great at Basketball and Volleyball since you're so tall."

Lol at this one because your height actually has nothing to do with your athletic ability. Speaking from experience I can honestly tell you being tall doesn't put you in more games over your shorter teammates.

8. "Well all tall girls are so thin, I'm sure you don't have to watch what you eat."

Not only is this inaccurate, it's also crossing the line. It's pretty unfair to assume that all tall girls are happy with their body image or can eat whatever they want. And body image is different for every girl no matter her height, weight or age.

9. "Are you sure you don't need more leg room back there?"

This one actually isn't that annoying it's just a reminder that you do in fact have long awkward legs that seem to prohibit you from fitting anywhere comfortably.

10. "So... how tall are you?

Ah, yes the question. It's not that you are ashamed of your height it's that they are asking you like they have never seen someone so tall before. And this of course makes you feel like some freak/giant.


So that's that! You can jump and jump but you are never gonna reach our level. Literally.

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.
