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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
