The girl that sticks out in the pictures.
The girl that can't wear heels to prom because then her dress won't hit the ground and she'll be taller than her date.
The girl that has to order her jeans online because she needs extra longs.
The girl who constantly turns down guys because they are "too short."

Yes, I am that girl, and I know that there are many others like me out there.

So here it is, the cold hard and funny truth about being tall.

Short guys look at you like giants and are sometimes scared off by your height.

Your friends are all shorter than you, and pictures just never look right.

You just sometimes have to turn down the guys that are, well, just too short.

Legs on legs... From prom dresses to jeans, you will forever hate how long your legs are. I mean, other than when they look reaaaaal good.

Everyone just assumes you are a superstar basketball player.

Back to guys, the tall ones are rare, but once you see them stand up, you are instantly in love.

Your normal pace of walking is like a sprint to your short friends.

When someone you just met tells you that you're tall as if you weren't aware of your height.

When all these girls around you can find the perfect pair of jeans, and dresses actually look like a dress and not shirts on them. They can get all the boys. Even the short ones.

Then you realize that your height is what makes you, you. Even if you feel like a giant 99% of the time.

And hey, you could stomp on half of those short dudes and judgmental girls out there. So keep staring at the tall girls, we could kick your a** any day.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
