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...

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
