Dads are the first men to have our hearts. They treasure us and care of res and make us feel loved. We admire them and strive to make them proud. For those us lucky enough o have their dad as an active and involved aspect of their life, we become accustomed to having him around 24/7 to help us out of every sticky situation. Spider in your bedroom? Don't worry, he's right down the hall. Got a flat tire? He'll drive five minutes and help you change it. But once we leave the safety of his nest and go off to the great unknown that is college, we quickly realize just how often we needed our dad for help. These are just a few of the many things you probably calling and asking your dad.

1. "How do I set up my TV?"

Is it red cable to red cable? The screen is all fuzzy...now it's black.

2. "What are taxes?"

And do I need to pay them?

3. "Should I hang a picture with a nail or a screw?"

Which one will leave a smaller hole in my dorm wall?

4. "How do I write a check?"

Wait, do I even have a checkbook?

5. "I think my hair clogged the drain, what do I do?"

Ew, ew, ew, ew. Can't you just come and do this one for me?

6. "Can you book me a flight home?"

Don't you miss me already???

7. "What should I do with my life?"

I know I always hated when you told me what to do to, but please just for one last time- tell me what to do!

8. "Can you put money in my account, please?"

It'll be like an advance on my Christmas gift.

9. "How do I grill a burger?"

A barbecue sounded like a really good idea.

10. "Why hasn't Mom called me back?"

Did she die or something, it's been like two days.

11. "How does the stock market work?"

Everyone else in my Econ class seems to already know.

12. "So, my room will still be available when I graduate right?"

Free housing>>> paying for my own place

13. "Can you check my resume?"

And maybe have your work friends read it over too.

14. "Can you send that blue sweatshirt I left home?"

I really wanted to wear it yesterday.

15. "How do I survive without you here?"

Thank you Dad, I love you.

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.

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.
