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.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
