Tall Girl Problems


1. Jeans, pants, leggings...just forget about it, you're essentially wearing capris.

2. "Wow, you're tall!"

3. "Do you play basketball? Or volleyball? You're telling me you let all that height go to waste?"

4. Need a date for an event? They will probably be shorter than you or the same height so don't plan on wearing heels unless you want to look like a giant.

]

5. "How tall are your parents?"

6. "How tall are you?"

7. Shoes, boots, any footwear...it's proportionate to your height.

8. Walking under a tree involves bending down so your hair doesn't get caught.

9. Longer limbs = awkward body movements.

10. Group photos consist of everyone looking cute in the first couple of rows and the top of your head in the back row.

11. Airplane rides mean sitting with your knees pressed against a strangers back.

12. Disneyland is fun, but your legs are not meant for those rides either.

13. Dresses, skirts, and shorts always look slutier.." it's because my legs are long."

14. You probably got dress code in high school.

15. You can never pass for younger...this means no kiddie meals and no discounts...even when you were actually 10.

16. People refer to you as giant...(the proper terminology is tall).

17. Falls are more intense because you're further from the ground than an average person.

18. Hide and go seek is not easy.

19. Desks are always a struggle because your legs don't fit.

20. Basically every day tasks are just that much more awkward.


If you're a tall girl, you know the struggle, but don't forget that there are positives to being tall as well. We have advantages when it comes to sports, people take us seriously, we can reach things on high shelves, we have amazingly long legs, and best of all...we have a higher chance of becoming models. From one tall girl to another, embrace your height and know that you're beautiful.

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.

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.
