10 Reasons Why A Girl's Dad Is Her Best Friend
Rebecca Scharen


He may just be her dad, but a girl's father is a lot more than this label. Throughout life a girl's dad becomes much more than just her parent, he becomes her role model, the first person she tells the good news to, and dare I even say, her best friend. There are a lot of reasons why a girl's dad is her best bud, but I have narrowed it down to the top 10 reasons...

1. He is a great listener


From you venting about school problems to friend situations, no matter how insignificant an issue may be, your dad will always be there with open ears ready to listen. Sometimes just having someone listen to you is the best medicine for any problem.

2. He always gives the best and honest advice

Your dad (even though this is hard to believe) has been in your shoes before and can give you an honest perspective, even if it isn’t what you want to hear. Your dad always will be there for you to help you pick up the pieces.

3. He is the greatest shoulder to cry on

Your dad will always be there to let you cry, cry, and cry some more from sad chick flicks movies, to heartbreaks, your dad will be there to wipe every single tear shed.

4. He knows how to put a smile on your face

No matter how bad of a day you are having your dad knows exactly what makes you smile and he will do anything he can to lift your spirits and make you happy.

5. He is your number one fan


Your dad will support you in anything you have your heart set on. He will never put down your aspirations and will tell you to achieve your heart’s desire.

6. He will love you unconditionally

No matter how many fights you both have together, your father is your father and he will always love you just as much as he did the day before.

7. His humor is unique

Even though your dad thinks his jokes are the funniest ones on the planet, and he is the only one laughing at them, you love him for it all the same.

8. He will always have your back

Your dad will stick up for you no matter what. From protecting their daughters from monsters when they were little, to when dating comes around, a girl's dad is always looking out for her best interest.

9. You both share special unforgettable moments together

Your dad was there when you took your first breath, to you taking your first steps, teaching you how to drive, to walking you down the aisle at your wedding; only your father and you can share these milestones in your life.

10. He is just as crazy as you are

The saying, “the apple doesn't fall far from the tree,” is very true. Your dad is just as a bit of crazy as you are, and you secretly love every bit of it.

If you haven't already seen or talked to your dad today, give your BFF a call and tell him you love him, trust me, it will make his day.

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.
