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!

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Kent State University
Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
