Tips and tricks to reach the height you've always wanted to be

How to Grow Five Inches In Five Minutes

1. Put your shoulders back.

If you don't slouch, you'll automatically gain about two inches toward your goal height. This is the best method I've found for tricking people into thinking you're a little bit taller than you actually are. People aren't used to others feeling strong and confident.

2. Always make eye contact.

Don't ever look at a person's chin when you're talking to them; make sure you look at their eyes. People of the same height make direct eye contact, so if you do too then you appear to be their height.

3. Take a step back when talking to a very tall person.

If you take about one step back while talking to somebody taller than you, it's easier to make sure somebody isn't looking directly down at you.

4. Never comment that somebody is taller.

Don't EVER accept that somebody is much taller than you. Stay in very strict denial and ESPECIALLY don't tell somebody that they're taller.

5. Put on a pair of heels if you're feeling brave.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you're willing to deal the blisters and crippling foot pain every single day, I'd say this is your best bet. Strap on a pair of heels and physically get five inches taller.

6. Don't admit you're shorter than people think you are.

If somebody thinks you're taller than you actually are and they say something along the lines of, "You're about 5ft 10, right?" And you're actually 5ft 6 (This actually happened to me) then you should just laugh and deny nothing. You don't have to lie, but you certainly don't have to correct them either.

7. Don't let vertically gifted people lean on you.

NEVER let those extremely tall and annoying people do that thing were they act like they're leaning against a wall, but they actually use your head as their base. You are not a wall. You are a person. Expect to be treated like a human being.

8. Most importantly, be confident and embrace your height.

If you embrace your height and who you are as a human being, you appear more confident. Isn't all of this really about confidence anyway? If you're happy at your height then ignore all of my tips and take the world by storm.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
