Ladies 5'9" and taller, I'm looking at you.

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...

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
