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!

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.
