25 Things Tall Girls Can Relate To

My gentle giants, this one is for you.

25 Things Tall Girls Can Relate To
Brooke Cagle

To all my long-legged, giraffe beauties out there, I feel your pain.

Before we start let me answer a few questions for you:

Yes, I know I am tall. Yes, the weather is nice up here. Yes, I really am pushing 5'11." And lastly, yes both of my parents are tall.

So if you are a tall girl like me, you can probably relate to one or all of these things.

1. Getting asked, “Do you play basketball?”

Really...

2. Also being told, “You must play volleyball.”

Again, really?

3. Clothes never fit right

Jeans are NEVER the right length and usually end up cropped. Long sleeves always end just before your wrist. WHY?

4. You don't need help getting something

Reaching the top shelf has never, and I mean never been a problem.

5. Dating can be hard

Boys are literally afraid of your height. Just because I'm tall doesn't mean I don't have feelings too. :(

6. Being questioned for wearing heels

People wonder why you still wear heels but you know it’s ~fashion~ and you are serving some looks.

7. Having to bend down for everything

Whether it's giving a friend a hug or having a conversation, my thighs are burning by the end of it.

8. Sharing clothes isn't your thing

Sharing clothes with your friends was never a thing with you because they were always a size small petite like a cute little munchkin and you are a medium extra long giant.

9. Others just can't keep up

You walk incredibly fast but its just because your one stride is 6 of your best friend’s.

10. Finding someone in a crowd is easy

Yes, I can see you over all of the heads in the room. Hey, what's up?

11. Always feeling awkward

Well, being tall makes you look and feel super awkward at times. Let’s just face it.

12. Dresses literally do not cover your butt

It's a serious struggle.

13. Thigh high boots hit your knee or below

Will anything ever fit right?

14. Knowing your place in photos

When taking group pictures, you always walk to the back of the group.

15. Falls are so much worse

The long slow painful fall to the ground if you trip and fall...is horrible.

16. Rompers show WAYY too much

I want to look cute, but I also want to keep it classy.

17. Your legs do not fit under a school desk

Scrapped knees and cramped legs are never fun after a long class.

18. The classic “How’s the weather up there”

Where did this come from? Can it go away?

19. Always being referred to as a giraffe or deer for how awkward you are

I didn't ask for this. Please stop calling me an animal.

20. Feeling like Buddy the Elf when you take a shower

Yeah, that's all I have to say.

21. Having a deep hatred for the Fingertip Rule

You know it's not fair to us tall people, but you punished us anyway.

22. Shaving your legs is a nightmare

Sometime's I can't even reach my ankles.

23. Squatting is the bane of your existence

We have to squat for literally everything. Photos, conversations, getting through doors. It's miserable.

24. Hearing “WOW, are you a model? You are SO tall!”

Is this a compliment or...? I really can't tell.

25. Feeling BLESSED and CURSED to have long legs

Some days you love it, and some you don't.

But at the end of the day, we all know that you strut your long, lanky awkward self down the hallway and give the classic, “Yes, the weather is great up here” smile.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
