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.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
