11 Lessons I Learned On Dads Weekend

Dads...they are everywhere. Walking around campus wearing their son's or daughter's school colors. Hitting up all the tailgates imaginable. Crowding the bars and taking over the fraternity parties. This special weekend is dedicated to the man who taught you everything you need to know about football, duct tape and how to change a tire. Without these guys, who knows where we would be? So this one is for the fathers and their crazy weekend on campus.

1. Your dad will have constant questions and comments about all your crazy sorority sisters.

"Why are there so many blondes?" "Wow those girls are so loud." "Do you guys do this every weekend?"

2. His liver is a little bit out of season since he left college.

He may be a little concerned, but you know how keep up with the best of them.

3. Meeting your friends' dads is always an interesting experience.

You learn where your friends got their good looks and obnoxious laugh from, and hear every embarrassing story imaginable.

4. The fraternities are in tip-top shape for the alumni coming for a visit.

These boys have to impress the men who are paying for their house renovations.

5. Some dads use this weekend to relive their glory days.

It has been quite a while since these guys have been able to let loose and party like college students.

6. You can take every opportunity you can to enjoy the free tailgate food.

Dads really love sharing food with all the cute college girls.

7. He knows how to make the football game more fun, even if your team isn’t doing too hot.

Your dad usually does his best commentary when you're losing.

8. Your dad runs the tables at beer pong.

He's in his element, there is no stopping him.

9. Being dad-less is totally okay because all the other dads are willing to adopt you.

Find your friend and her dad and tag along. It is like you are part of the family!

10. There is nothing more awkward than having your dad meet a recent hookup.

I recommend just avoiding the situation altogether.

11. You realize that your dad is actually pretty cool and having him around isn’t too bad.

Never take for granted this rare opportunity to spend the entire weekend with the best guy you know. You'll both appreciate it in the long run.

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.
