36 Problems Every Tall Girl Has
Total Sorority Move

How's the weather up there? If you've heard that line before, then you may in the population blessed with extraordinary height. And this extraordinary height isn't exactly welcomed by society. Pair that with being a girl and you've got a recipe for disaster. Here's a list of 36 problems that tall girls hold close to their heart.

1. Never being able to find dresses that are long enough at your favorite stores.

2. Normal length pants look like capris on you.


3. Shirts look more like crop tops and crop tops look more like bandeaus on you.

4. Only being able to wear heels around fellow tall people, but still feeling like an Amazon whenever shorter people stand next to you.

5. Sitting in the backseat of a car and having your knees hit the seat in front of you and your head hit the top of the car.

6. Going to take a shower and having to bend down to get your head under the water.

7. Being asked if you've played basketball before or that you'd be good at it.

8. Or being asked to get something down that's too high for someone.

9. When people ask how much you weigh and then don't believe you because they forget to factor in your height.

10. Stretching when standing up and hitting the ceiling.


11. Having to slow down when walking with other people because your stride is four times the size of theirs.

12. Being in the front of a crowd and feeling guilty for blocking everyone's view.

13. Having to say no to a nice guy because he's half a foot shorter than you.

14. When you go to hug someone and their head ends up on your boobs.

15. Being tall enough for people to tell you to be a model, but in reality, you're in the awkward area of being just too short to make it.

16. Your friends use your body to block the sun from shining into their eyes.

17. Finally finding a guy tall enough to properly hug and being friend-zoned.

18. Your feet are big because of your height and you can never find cute shoes in your size.

19. Having to lean down so far you're basically kneeling in group pictures.

20. When your friends talk about how much they enjoy taking baths and you're just over there thinking about how you can't fit in the tub.

21. Going to buy footy pajamas only to realize that none of them can even get over your shoulders.

22. Feeling like you're falling when you go to use the bathroom, since the toilets are so close to the ground for normal sized people.

23. When girls who are average height complain about being 'sooo tall.'

24. When you stand up in a bathroom stall and everyone can see your head popping out of the stall.

25. Having to stand half way across the room or having to bend over to see your whole outfit in a full length mirror.

26. Getting a backache from leaning over while doing the dishes.

27. Having people tell you how tall you are, but the moment you tell them how short they are, they get defensive.

28. Having to stop way before an intersection so you can see when the light changes without bending forward.

29. Buying knee-high socks in the store for them to only reach mid-calf height.

30. Getting stuck in the back row of every school and group picture.

31. Family members always comment on your height at every gathering.

32. And asking if you'll ever stop growing.

33. Not being able to cross your legs under tables without hitting your knees.

34. One piece swimsuits are off limits.

35. Having to hold the umbrella when walking with your friends in the rain.

36. And finally, when you actually like being tall, but everyone thinks you should hate it.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

2035

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.
