Tall Tales VII: Just College Stuff

Okay, so there will be two things I'll talk about in this post, and the reason being because I've dealt with them every day of my college career.


Okay, so this one is actually kind of funny.  Luckily, I sleep like the dead, but sometimes—when I'm just drifting off—Alissa-Fred will walk around my bed to get to hers and trip over my feet.  She always feels so bad, but I honestly don't mind it so much.  I'm used to having the bed drop off mid-calf.  This one's really only a hassle when I go home because this girl does not fit between a headboard and a footboard.  No sir-ee, Bob.

Even at home it's alright, though.  I just move the mattress to the floor where all the snakes and spiders can get me.  No worries.  Next problem:


I love going home because this is a non-issue there.  The shower head is adjustable so Lizer-Lou (at a giant 5'4") can make it fit, and so can I! Woo!

This is however a big problem at school.  I've never had a shower head taller than me in an apartment.  Or at a friends house.  Or at a hotel.  They really just don't exist.  And to top it all off, I also have some preexisting conditions that make this even worse.

I have a bad lower back, and I get disoriented really easily sometimes.  So!  I can't just slouch and lean to the side.  It hurts, and I get dangerously close to falling over.  (And how embarrassing would it be to be the only 22 year old I know with a hip replacement?! I mean really!)  

I literally have to bend over backwards to wash my hair.  And because I'm not just tall--I'm pretty dang tall for a girl--I have to bend over pretty dang far.

It makes hair washing a huge hassle.  And sometimes, I just don't want to do it.

Thank heaven for dry shampoo and baseball caps.
