What No One Tells You About Being a Tall Athlete | My Journey As A Former Athlete

What No One Tells You About Being a Tall Athlete | My Journey As A Former Athlete

For today’s episode, we are talking about tall people and sports as well as my journey as an athlete.

“Do you play basketball?”

“Oh you must play basketball or volleyball.”

Those were two of the most common comments I’ve gotten as a tall girl growing up and honestly even at this age. And you’d be surprised just how disappointed some people were when I’d tell them that I don’t. Like I’m sorry…but you’re a random stranger. Why does it matter to you???

It’s pretty common that when somebody sees a tall person, they think that that tall person has some type of natural athleticism or would be good at sports. Well, newsflash…not all of us play or have played sports. Crazy, right?? However, there was a time where I did play sports. And that’s what we’re talking about today.

I want this episode to be for the tall girlies who feel some type of pressure to play sports because of their height or have other interests besides sports. If this is you or you’re just genuinely interested in hearing about my journey, tune in!

Become More Confident In Your Height By Romanticizing It

Become More Confident In Your Height By Romanticizing It

I have really been enjoying alone time for the past few weeks. Like going to visit new places by myself, going out to eat by myself, going on walks by myself. And I think that the TikTok and YouTube algorithms are picking up on that because all I’m seeing on my feed is romanticizing alone time. It's a little creepy that they know what I’m up to, but I think with the changing seasons coming, romanticization is gonna become more and more popular. We hear the term “romanticizing” so much, but I feel like I don’t actually know what it means. So of course, I Googled it ahA.

Getting Over The Fear of Standing Out As A Tall Person

Getting Over The Fear of Standing Out As A Tall Person

Today we’re talking about standing out. And this is probably one of the biggest reasons why tall people find it annoying to be tall. And this idea doesn’t even necessarily have to do with height. This could range from your hair to your style or clothing to your makeup to even your race. Just any feature that makes you extremely unique from the rest. And I can understand this fear. I’ve been there. Heck, I’M STILL THERE. I get scared when people stare. When they whisper and point. And some people are so shameless about it. Like they’ll do it super loud and in your face. They may even go up to you and say a bad comment right then and there. And it’s not a good feeling. It can make you feel like there’s something wrong with you. Like you’re a weirdo. So why do people do this? And how can you get over your fear of standing out?

Tall Girl Chats: Transitioning Into Summer Mode, Tall Girl Moments, Fake Confidence vs. Real Confidence

Tall Girl Chats: Transitioning Into Summer Mode, Tall Girl Moments, Fake Confidence vs. Real Confidence

Summer is officially here y’all (I mean like it's BEEN here), and that means transitioning into summer mode. Yes, I studied abroad for like a month, but quite frankly it felt like an extension of the school year because I still had classes and homework and exams. I’m glad that’s done and over with, especially because school gives so much unnecessary busy work. But I also find that I have a lot of extra time on my hands. Because before I would do school, work, and manage this podcast. But now I just work and manage this podcast. And my schedule literally revolved around school. So now that I don’t have school, it just feels weird to actually have time on my hands to just sit and exist. How have I been handling that? Do I have any other plans this summer?

I'm Back Home... | My Last Few Days in Italy, Post-Study Abroad Depression, Getting Back Into Routine

I'm Back Home... | My Last Few Days in Italy, Post-Study Abroad Depression, Getting Back Into Routine

As you can tell by the title, I am back home. Officially. Once again. After an entire month. Of living a literal dream. I don’t know how to feel about it honestly. I’m excited because I get to see all of my friends and I can get back into a normal routine and NOT TAKE ANY CLASSES FOR A COUPLE WEEKS. But then I’m also gonna miss that Italy weather and being able to go to a different country every week and eating gelato. I don’t know; there’s a give and take for everything. Now, if you’re a little confused right now as to what’s going on, I studied abroad in Florence, Italy for the past month of June. I took a Global Brand Management course where I had classes four days a week (quite frankly don’t even know how I survived that) and on the weekends, I would try to explore the city, explore Italy, explore other countries, you get the picture. Tune in to hear about my last few days studying abroad!

I Spent 48 Hours in Switzerland and Here's How It Went...

I Spent 48 Hours in Switzerland and Here's How It Went...

Soooo, I went to Switzerland...You may be thinking, of all places, Switzerland????? Yes, hear me out lol. I actually have a cousin who lives in Switzerland and before I even went on this trip, my father kept telling me that I HAD to visit her. I mean, think about it, when am I ever going to be this close to her again? So, I took the opportunity. I told my dad to give me her phone number, which he did, and I called her up. I asked her if I could visit and she said that she and her husband would love to have me. Don’t get me wrong I was super excited to visit her, but I immediately thought to myself ‘free housing!!’ Idk maybe it’s just the broke college student in me talking… Anyways, tune in to the full episode for more on my Switzerland adventure!Let's stay connected: https://linktr.ee/atallgirlspodcast Leave a review and let me know how tall you are: https://atallgirlspodcast.com/reviews

A Weekend Abroad | 24 Hours in Paris, Day Trip to Venice, Got Catcalled at McDonald’s??

A Weekend Abroad | 24 Hours in Paris, Day Trip to Venice, Got Catcalled at McDonald’s??

As you can tell by the title, I’ve had quite the weekend. But before I get into that, I just wanna share that I finished my midterms not too long ago?? I’m halfway through this program?? ALREADY????? (just for context, I'm currently studying abroad in Italy for the month of June) I’m sad but not too sad, if that even makes any sense. I like being able to travel to different places, take this class, and meet new people, but I also like having my own kitchen, not waking up early to go to class, and seeing my friends back home. I just don’t know how to feel about that. On the other hand, I got a 98 on my first paper! So I’m so glad about that. I’m hoping that I can get the same grade on my midterm exam. Spoiler alert: I didn't aHa, but it was still a good grade!

I’m in Italy??

I’m in Italy??

I’m just gonna cut to the chase; as you can tell by the title, I am in Italy. Like right now. Like physically in Italy. What the heck???? This is so unreal. But I’m not here to vacation though (unfortunately). I’m here to study abroad at one of the universities and I’m taking a Global Brand Management course. And this course credit transfers back to my school, so it will indeed impact my GPA. Meaning, I need to be on my grind lol. So, what's been happening the past couple of days?? Tune in to this episode to find out!! Also, a little sidenote, I completely butchered the name of a garden I visited lol. I kept saying Bobogoli Garden when it's really Boboli Garden. Oopsie. Hopefully, Italian natives don't listen to this episode ahA Let's stay connected: https://linktr.ee/atallgirlspodcast Leave a review and let me know how tall you are: https://atallgirlspodcast.com/reviews
