30 Things To Thank Your Dad For

With Father's Day coming up I have been thinking about all the things my dad has done for me over the years and what he continues to do for me every day. This is dedicated to my Dad and all the other great Dads out there. Thank you for:


1. All the life advice, even the stuff I didn't ask you for.

2. Answering my daily, sometimes even hourly phone calls (texts too).

3. Picking me up from school, practice, when I'm drunk, any time really.

4. Being my personal ATM when I needed money.

5. The many Starbucks you have bought me.

6. Being my personal mechanic and teaching me everything there is to know about cars.

7. Teaching me how to play sports (sorry I was never good at basketball like you hoped).

8. Keeping calm when I made mistakes.

9. Telling me that I could be anything I wanted when I grew up.

10. Pushing me to succeed.

11. Being understanding when I got my first ticket (and my 2nd.... and my 3rd).

12. Fixing/replacing all my broken phones.

13. Saying yes to whatever mom said no to.

14. Also making fun of mom with me.

15. Coaching me whether it was in sports or in life.

16. Teaching me how to drive (and still critiquing my driving skills 6 years later).

17. Attempting to understand sorority life.

18. Still not understanding all of it but supporting it.

19. Helping me get A's on all those science projects.

20. Listening to me talk about my drama even if you don't care.

21. Spending time with me after a long day of work.

22. Letting me pick the music in the car.

23. Taking time off work to spend time with me every time I come home for break.

24. Passing down your thick hair to me.

25. Attending every sports game I have ever played in, no matter how far or how hot.

26. Knowing how to fix anything.

27. Watching TV with me even if it is something you don't want to watch.

28. Always being down for dessert.

29. Explaining important real world concepts like taxes and stocks.

30. Working hard to give me the world.



Thank you Dad for everything you have done for me!

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.
