Perks of Being A Tall Girl

Being a 6'(ish) girl definitely comes with advantages and disadvantages. Lots of times, tall ladies decide to dwell on the struggles; for instance not finding long enough pants, not fitting into tight spaces, and the fact that most guys are shorter. While these are a bummer, we should focus on the positives for once. I think being tall ROCKS and here are a few reasons why.

We can reach things that are high up.

Top shelf? We got it. At least once while shopping I hear, "Um hey, can you help me reach this?" Sure, it's what I'm here for I guess.

We can see over the top of crowds at concerts.

We don't even need front row seats, we can see everything. When people behind you complain that you're blocking their view, let them know that you are the view. :)

People always assume we are good at sports.

Ok usually we are. Rebounding and blocking are our specialties. Long legs and arms are good for something.

It's easy bonding with other tall girls.

"You're tall and I'm tall too! Let's be friends" is usually how it goes.

We get to eat more.

We're just able to store more calories in the extra inches we have. I'm not complaining.

Tall people can walk to places faster.

Short friends always have to jog to keep up with you. We just learn to wait up for them.

We always get shotgun.

We can always count on the fact that we have long legs to ensure us the front seat.

It's proven that tall people get paid more.

This is awesome! Check it out for yourself here: http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/05/the-financial-perks-of-being-tall/393518/.

We give the greatest hugs.

We're at the perfect huggable height. If you don't believe me, try it out for yourself!

Despite all the negative things you may hear about being tall, try to remember the positives. I believe being tall is really a blessing. Own your height and stand tall ladies!

And just as a reminder...

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
