Embrace your height, girl!

Just because we have lots of #tallgirlprobs doesn't mean we can't celebrate the perks too! You've read about the struggles in other articles, but here's some positivity about being tall!

1. You don't have to stand on a chair to see into cabinets or tall shelves.

You can reach it yourself, thank you very much.

2. You don't feel the need to wear heels to be taller.

You wear heels if you're feeling it, not because you feel "too short" without them. You cannot even fathom what it would be like to think you were "too short."

3. You get to sit in the front seat more

People cannot avoid that your legs are longer and you will be a much better fit for riding shotgun or driving than getting crammed in the backseat on a road trip.

4. Dresses and pants are NEVER too long for you

For all those girls who have to find the perfect heel height for their clothes or take them to be hemmed, may you rest in peace. In the meantime, I'll enjoy the length on my size extra long jeans.

5. You can always see over everyone in a crowd

No need for tip toes or getting on anyone's shoulders for you!

6. People have told you all your life you should be a model

Dialogue: "Wow that's so sweet of you, but no. Definitely not me."

7. Your tallness comes in handy when you play sports.

Don't be ashamed of your height because it can help you do great things!

8. Countless people wish they had your height.

Own your tall figure and wear whatever kind of shoes you want!

9. Nobody can borrow your shoes because their feet are too small for them.

Don't even think about saying that your bigger feet are to blame for this problem. Small feet on a tall girl would be weird, anyway.

10. Your tallness doesn't define you, you define you.

Giphy

Just be yourself and feel comfortable with however tall the good Lord made you!

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
