16 Things Only Tall Girls Understand

There are some things that only us tall girls can understand. Growing up was a constant challenge between feeling super awkward and embracing our height. Once we're older we learn to love how tall we are, but there are definitely some struggles along the way. If you're a tall girl, you'll definitely have experienced these things:

1. You automatically gravitate towards the back and center while taking a picture because that's where you're always moved anyway.

2. You either played basketball in high school, or you were asked if you did a billion times.

3. Rompers just don't work.

4. When someone asks you how tall you are, you reply with: "I'm the same height as (insert high supermodel name here)."

5. You and a couple of boys were the tallest kids in your grade until high school.

6. You love heels, and you're going to wear them no matter how tall they make you.

7. Middle school was a constant battle against slouching to make yourself look shorter.

8. You've probably hit your head at least once on a shower head.

9. You always have a reason to ride shotgun in a small car because you can't fit in the back seat.

10. The main reason you visited the principal in high school was for breaking dress code with a skirt or dress. (Even if it was the same one a shorter girl was wearing.)

11. Even if you don't work out, you can still manage to look athletic. (my personal fave benefit of being tall)

12. People tell you how tall you are ALL THE TIME.

13. You still haven't quite figured out how to hug short people.

14. The top of your head has been cut off in pictures.

15. You've always been the one who gives the piggy back ride.

16. Trying to cross your legs while sitting at a desk is the worst.

No matter how awkward life as a tall girl can get, we embrace being "vertically blessed" and wouldn't change it for anything.

Christmas tree
Librarian Lavender

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
