20 Father's Day Thank-Yous
Pic Monkey

It's officially Father's Day, the day of the year you should be given an unlimited amount of baseball games, steak, and beer. You've been a dad for almost twenty years now, so before you take off to enjoy that Cardinal's win, I thought it'd be appropriate to thank you 20 times for the decision you made 20 years ago to become a father.

1. Thank you for giving me an incredible taste in music.

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fleetwood Mac, AC/DC, Pearl Jam, honestly, the list can go on.

2. Thank you for always making the yummiest dinners.

Pasta, grilled food, seafood, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.

3. Thank you for giving me your old t-shirts.

They're super comfy to sleep in.

4. Thank you for not getting mad at me when I steal your old t-shirts.

Well, it's self-explanatory.

5. Thank you for preparing me for college.

Because I wouldn't know how to boil my own water, right?

6. Thank you for cracking up at my horrible jokes.

Because they're really bad.

7. Thank you for teaching me how to drive.

I would've been done for if you hadn't showed me how.

8. Thank you for helping me with my math homework.

I'm not majoring in math for a reason.

9. Thank you for pushing me to try my hardest.

I really need the motivation sometimes.

10. Thank you for taking me to baseball games.

Dippin Dots galore!

11. Thank you for strengthening my faith.

I gotta thank mom for this one too though.

12. Thank you for all of the advice you've given me.

Duly noted.

13. Thank you for the fun boat rides.

They're always so relaxing.

14. Thank you for not getting mad at me when I wrecked my car.

Opossums are horrible.

15. Thank you for being my knight in shining armor.

Even when it storms outside.

16. Thank you for only being a call away.

Even when I am three hours away.

17. Thank you for introducing to me new TV shows.

"Walking Dead," anyone?

18. Thank you for always wanting to watch the movies I want to watch.

Except for when we watched Lord of the Rings- was not interested.

19. Thank you for letting me come to my dream school.

I love it more than you all could imagine.

And last but not least...

20. Thank you for being the best dad!!

I'm not kidding, there are a lot other dads out there, but you're number one in my book.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
