Twenty Five Ways To Tell Your Dad You Love Him
Olivia Kozel

Dads are pretty incredible people who love you unconditionally. Despite how you feel about your dad, you may not explicitly say to him all the time, "I love you." However, I was thinking about it the other day, and I realized that there are a myriad of ways to tell your dad you love him besides actually saying, "I love you." It's not about the words, but instead the meaning you put behind these words and actions.

1. "I stopped at the grocery store on my way home from work, and I bought you *insert favorite food*."

2. "Yes, I did take the trash out, mow the lawn, and clean up the backyard."

3. "Wait! It's on sale, and I have a coupon!"

4. "Don't worry, I'll drive *insert sibling name(s)* to practice."

5. "I bought us tickets for the big game!"

6. "Can you help me fix this? I'm pretty sure it's broken beyond repair, but there's still a chance!"

7. "The weather is so nice today. We're totally grilling!"

8. "Surprise! I wanted to visit you at work today."

9. "I didn't know what to do, so I called you first."

10. "You're right, I'm over-reacting. I can definitely do this."

11. "Thank you for believing in me."

12. "I'm scared, but you're right, I have to try."

13. "How do you always know the right thing to say?"

14. "I just want to relax and hang out with you."

15. "It was weird being away from home for so long, and I'm really glad you answered all my frantic phone calls."

16. "Dad, don't worry. I learned from the best!"

17. "I messed up. What do I do now?"

18. "Yes, you are definitely a cool dad."

19. "Can we talk? I need to talk this out."

20. "Do you remember this picture? That was truly one of the best days ever."

21. "Just because I'm far away, it doesn't mean I'm not thinking about you."

22. "You've taught me that I am worth it."

23. "I'm the luckiest daughter in the world."

24. "It made me think of you, so I had to get it for you!"

25. "I'm never going to forget this moment."

Tell your dad you love him. It doesn't matter how you say it, he deserves to hear it everyday. He's been your number one fan since the beginning, and he'll be there for every moment to come as well. <3

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.
