Pros And Cons Of Being A 6'1 Female

"How tall are you?"

Pros And Cons Of Being A 6'1 Female
Cally Stanich

This article is an everyday struggle of what a tall girl has to face. It includes the funny truth of how difficult it is sometimes to be tall. But girl, if you are tall, flaunt that sh*t because your height is beautiful and don't ever think it's not. Go tall girls, you got this!

1. Pro: Long legs.

Everyone knows that long legs are sexy. As uncoordinated as they make you, they look good in a nice dress.

2. Con: Twin beds are your worst nightmare.

There is nothing worse than hopping into your warm, cozy bed and having your feet hang off the end. Especially when you walk into your dorm room on the first day, look at your bed and realize that you may have a few mild cases of hypothermia.

3. Pro: You always make it in group photos.

Ever felt like your face was the one to get cut off in every group photo? Can't relate! When you're tall, you're always towering above your friends, which ensures the fact that, when the photo inevitably goes on Facebook, your beaming grin will be easily seen. Heels not needed.

4. Con: "Do you play basketball?"

Every. F*cking. Time. Someone sees how tall I am, and the first question that pops out of their mouth is whether or not I play basketball. Then it is followed by how I've wasted my height when I say, "No." Just because I'm tall does not mean that I'm coordinated enough to dunk. Leave me alone.

5. Pro: If you're heavier, it's not as noticeable.

Freshman 15? No problem for a tall girl. A big frame can easily hide the fact you've eaten your body weight in ramen noodles this past semester. Weight on taller girls evens out better throughout your body. It almost makes up for the fact that my jeans are too short.

6. Con: You can never find cute shoes in your size.

When you get into the double digits of shoes, they go from cute pumps to your grandmother's loafers. Sure, they have great arch support, but I wasn't going for the "middle-aged-dad-at-a-barbecue" look.

7. Pro: You walk faster than your short friends.

For every short friend, it takes them an average of three steps to make up for my one stride. I'll often hear the familiar cries of, "please slow down," or, "stop walking so fast." It usual ends in a piggy back ride and a happy 5'5".

8. Con: Clothing is too short.

You can feel it now. The air changes when you slip your leg into the pant hole and pray to the denim gods that there will be no ankle showage today. This is usually followed by a silent whimper when it passes the no fly zone. Then the walk of shame back to the target counter where the return lady knows you by first name and jean size.

9. Pros: You can intimidate people with your height.

I never worry when walking down the street at night. People don't usually go for the tall and meaty. They usually pray on the short and weak. It's pretty hard to drag tall people into a van...

10) Con: Boys that are shorter than you.

Enough said.

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.
