12 Things All Tall Girls Are Tired of Hearing

Coming from the perspective of a girl who's 6 feet 2 inches tall, I present to you 10 things that tall girls would gleefully like to go the rest of their tall-ass lives without hearing ever again:

1. You're so tall!

Well damn, thank you for letting me in on this extremely valuable piece of information I was so unaware of. What else can you tell me about myself that I don't know?

2. How tall are you?!

I'm 6 feet 2 inches, but do you want me to get out some measuring tape and double check just in case? I'll hold still, and you can even measure the tape for me, you curious little soul!

3. Is it hard to find boys with your height?

Yes, unfortunately there appears to be an epidemic of tall men. For every five 5-foot-7-inch guys (which there is nothing wrong with, just a bit short for me), there is possibly one male over 6 feet.

4. Do you like taller guys?

No, I absolutely love guys over a foot shorter than me. Giving them piggy-back rides is one of my favorite pastimes.

5. Why are you wearing heels?

I'm wearing heels because being tall does not mean I can't wear heels like every other girl and feel badass. If I'm over 6 feet, what's another couple of inches? If it makes you uncomfortable, I'd be lying if I said I care.

6. Do you only date basketball guys?

Yeah, I 100 percent restrict myself to basketball men. Not any other guys. NONE. Don't even look at me if you don't play basketball.

7. If you were an animal, you'd be a giraffe!

Ohhhh, I get it! 'Cause we both have long necks and just long limbs in general, right? Hahahaha! That is a good one, sir!

8. You have really big feet.

Yes, because if a girl over 6 feet had size 5 feet that would make perfect, amazing sense.

9. Why do you always bend down in pictures?

A majority of my friends are at least half a foot shorter than me. It's a natural movement in group photos. Next question.

10. How is the weather up there?

It's sh*t, thanks for asking.

11. You play basketball or volleyball, right?

No, I'm actually a horse jockey. The horses run like the damn wind with my tiny little frame.

12. Wait, how tall are you again?

*dies*

So there you have it, folks...do us tall girls a favor and spare us from these. If you're going to comment, try to make it unique...we've heard it all.

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.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. 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.
