Dad knows best.

17 Things We Still Ask Our Dads
Tammy Brown

Even though we don't realize it, we rely on our dads so much. Not only are they the first man that we've ever loved, but there also full of answers that moms simply can't answer. So thank you to the dads that still are willing to help when we don't have everything figured out.

1. "What does this light mean on my dashboard and why is it flashing at me?"

Is my car going to explode?

2. "Can you fill my tank?"

I really just don't feel like it today--or any other day.

3. "How do you schedule an oil change appointment?"

Can you just do it for me?

4. "What happens if I ever get a flat tire?"


I don't think I can change it by myself.

5. "How do I deposit a check?"

Better yet, how do you even write a check?

6. "Can you help me file my taxes?"

Because I don't have the time or patience to do it on my own.

7. "Can you fill out my FAFSA for me?"

You're just so much better at it than I am.

8. "What highway do I take to get to (fill in the blank)?"

I'm directionally challenged.

9. "Can you kill this spider for me?"


Please!

10. "How do I start a 401K?"

Please help me because I have no idea what I'm doing.

11. "What is a good price for a new car?"

I just don't want to get ripped off.

12. "How do I jump my car?"

Uh red on the positive, right?

13."Can I have some money? I'm broke."


14. "What the heck is an IRA?"

Something about retirement, right?

15. "What should I do if I locked my keys in my car?"

It was an accident, I swear.

16. "What should I include on my resumé?"

Make me sound smart!

17. "What would I do without you and your help? I love you."

You're the best, dad! Thanks for all your help.

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.
