The Struggle Of Being A 6 Foot Tall Giant

The Annoyance Of Being Extremely Tall

The Struggle Of Being A 6 Foot Tall Giant

Now for those of you who are vertically challenged, you may be thinking, "There isn't any struggle of being very tall at all, you can reach the top shelf and everything!" Let me tell you that it's not all that it's cracked up to be.

First of all, finding clothes that fit you is a huge pain because if you're as skinny, as I am, they're either too baggy or big or too long or too short to actually fit correctly at all. Because of this, I am now forced to special order jeans that have the correct length and width to be able to fit me comfortably.

The other downside to being a relative giant is that most people tend to use my height for their own selfish benefit. First of all, how dare they?! Second of all, really?! Using my height just so you don't have to make the extra effort to get a small ladder or something to reach the top shelf of your kitchen?! I mean, have some respect, good God!

Also, beds are never made so that you can fit your entire body comfortably onto it and actually stretch out. I am forced to contort my body into a ball just so my entire body fits on my bed. You have got to be kidding me!! You can't make even one bed that is adequate for a 6'4" human being! I am so disappointed in you, mattress companies! The fact that I am forced to contort my body to be able to fit onto my bed is honestly an outrage.

Now going along with the annoyingly small beds are all of the back cramps. They are so annoying and they don't ever seem to go away no matter what I do to relieve them. For once, just once, it would be nice to wake up in the morning and not have to crack every single bone in my back just so that I am able to go about my day and not be hugely uncomfortable. But no. That is a necessity that I have to deal with and it is entirely uncalled for.

Now, seeing as I am hugely tall, you would think that I would have a large vehicle. You would also be incorrect with that statement. But as to why they can't make small cars where my head is not bumping the top of the car is beyond me.

For once. Just once. I would like to be able to get into a small vehicle and not smash my head on the ceiling of the car. It's kinda frustrating, and I'm so over it.

Oh, the last thing, please, car companies, I am begging you: make smaller cars that I don't have to contort my body just so that I can get in the car. Make small cars that it is actually possible for me to not break my back just to get in to drive to the store for my dinner or to go tho the movies with my friend's it's extremely rude to us tall people and extremely frustrating as we can't have any car we want we are limited if we want to be comfortable to giant SUVs to drive.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
