8 Struggles All Tall Girls Understand
A View From The Edge

Being a girl that's taller than 5'11" means people are probably going to stare at you weird or make random comments or questions. Being tall definitely has its advantages, but most days, it's a pain in the butt. Here's just a few of the things that we struggle with on a daily basis.

1. People constantly telling you that you're tall

Really? I had no idea.

2. Getting compared to a giraffe

Good one—I've never heard that one before.

3. Wearing heels is almost always a "no"



I'm already 5'11", and you're asking me to add an extra four inches to me? No thanks.

4. Finding jeans that aren't high waters

You've probably already made friends with American Eagle online because you can custom order your jeans to be "extra long."

5. "You must be a basketball or volleyball player"



6. Your legs don't fit under a desk

The struggle is so real.

7. People always ask you to reach for things



8. When people shorter than 5'10" complain about being tall


Don't get me wrong, I love being tall, but sometimes it's too much to deal with, especially when you hear the same few questions/statements all the time. So to all my fellow tall girls, keep your shoulders back and walk tall. Embrace your height because you are beautiful.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
