10 More Reasons To Love Father's Day
The Spruce

Father's Day is a special day where you get to celebrate your father for all the amazing things that he's done for you. Here are some other reasons why Father's Day is awesome.

1. Seeing the look on your dad's face when you give him a present.

Whether you're giving him a copy of his favorite book, a gift card to his favorite coffee shop, or taking him out to eat, dads always love the presents their kids give them.

2. Remembering past Father's Days and thinking about all the fun times.

You can look back on past years and remember all the fun things you did and all the times when things weren't so fun. Either way, Father's Day is always a day to remember.

3. If your dad has passed away, you can take some time to honor his memory.

Some people don't get to spend time with their dad on Father's Day, so they can use this time to cherish his memory and spend time with their families.

4. You get to try to be the first one to wish your dad a happy Father's Day.

I have three siblings, so I always try to get up first and be the first one to wish my dad a happy Father's Day.

5. Your dad gets to tell stories about when you and your siblings were little.

Dads love telling stories from when they were just a young dad and you were just a wee baby, especially on Father's Day.

6. Your dad can tell you about all the times you were an ungrateful little shit.

Kids aren't always so magical, and sometimes they can be downright terrible. Your dad may take this opportunity to remind you about the times you were younger when you terrorized him and made him wish he could be not-a-father for just one day.

7. You get to compare you and your siblings' upbringings.

Your dad will tell a story of when you were a perfect little angel growing up, and your sibling was an absolute monster.

8. Your mom may feel a little jealous, but she will also use this opportunity to tell tons of stories too.

Whether it's Mother's Day, Father's Day, Christmas, or just spring break, your mom will reminisce like never before.

9. You will learn things about your dad you never knew (or wanted to know).

Some things may be brought to light that are both unexpected and unwarranted, but either way, expect uncomfortable family secrets to surface with awkwardness and #noshame.

10. You will be reminded once again of how much you love your dad.

You have always loved your dad, but on this day, you remember all over again why he's the best dad in the world.

This article is dedicated to my dad, Adam Slate, who has always supported me and stuck by my side through thick and thin. I couldn't have asked for a better dad, and I wouldn't ever want to. Thanks for everything, Dad. <3

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.
