10 Things I Thank My Dad For
My photo

Now that I am older, I have realized that my dad had a huge part on helping to raise me. Although at times, I may have not agreed with many of the rules, I wouldn't be the same person I am today without them. I want to thank my dad for everything he has done not only for me but for every person and child that came into my his life. So, I thank you for being one of the most amazing people I know.

1. He's my first true love.

He's been there for me since day one and has given me attention, love and support.

2. He's is my savior.

Whenever I have a problem, that I cannot fix he helps me figure it no matter how little or big obstacle could be. He even saves me from college every now and again for a weekend.

3. He will always be my protector.

He wants nothing but the best for me because from day one my dad knew I deserve nothing but the best.

4. He understands.

He understands that I am becoming older and the older I get, the more responsibility I have. He understands that I am a young adult that goes to school and works but I try my very best to see him.

5. He tries.

My dad does his very best to give me and my siblings everything we want and need.

6. My Best Friend.

My dad will always be my best friend, he is someone I can watch movies with all day, joke around and even butt-heads from time to time.

7. Being a great dad.

It is not only me my dad does do all these things for but, for my siblings also. They may not see eye to eye with my dad or even agree with me, but they are still young and one day they will see my dad for all that he has done will do for us.

8. For putting us first.

I see a lot of parents put other people before their kids and I want to thank my dad for always making us kids your first priority in whatever you did.

9. Being such a goof ball.

My dad makes it his mission to put a smile on his kids' face because seeing us distraught hurts him, so he'll do the weirdest things to make us laugh. My dad has awesome jokes that he's been saying my whole life and now I say them as well.

10. A father figure.

My dad has given kids who don't have father figures in their life, a father figure. He gives them someone to look up to and someone who treats them as their own.

P.S Happy 39th Birthday old man, I love you!

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.
