6 Things You'll Only Understand If You're The "Tall" Friend

Being tall can be a blessing at times, also a curse, but it depends on what point of view you have.

6 Things You'll Only Understand If You're The "Tall" Friend

It's got its ups (get it?) and its down. Being the tall friend is its own thing — you see the world from a totally different perspective (get it? get it?). Here are the six things that every tall friend knows is way too much of a struggle.

1. Borrowing clothes is nearly impossible

It simply ever seems to be an option — from dresses to jeans, everything looks like doll’s clothes on you. And don't even get started on the shoe size difference!

2. So, like, where am I supposed to wear heels?

Since you're already taller than the whole group, heels just make you seem like a tower. We all know, if we wear heels, we're always looking for our shortest pair.

3. Dating is weird

Your friends will suggest boys and dates but will start with “uh, I think you are about the same height” but it always means they are at least five inches shorter. This doesn't really work for us.

4. Pictures just become so awkward!

Either you are in an awkward position to try to be the same height as everyone, or you have the longest arm to stretch your arm super far to get everyone in the picture.

5. Nobody can seem to keep up.


Every three steps on theirs is one of yours. With your long stride, you can easily get to the destination in half the time. They always seem to have to have a slow jog to keep up.


6. Hugging...


When hugging, our arms always go over the others arms since any other way would feel awkward, but not everyone seems to understand that!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
