Let me start out by saying that no two Dads are alike. They're unique in their own fatherly ways. However, there are certain "Dad-isms" -- like seeing you in a pair of purposely ripped jeans and saying, "Hey, you have a hole in your pants" -- that many of us can recall our Dad using at some point.

If you're like me, and enjoy spending quality time with your father, you may notice his clever quips and Dad-like habits beginning to rub off on you. Here are five signs you're turning into your Dad.

1. Trips to Home Depot are growing more exciting to you, and you're becoming an expert on where the different departments are located.

And if any employee dares to ask if you and your Dad need help, you go full Ron Swanson on them.

2. You're getting quicker with puns and funny comebacks.

Dads are the kings of silly one-liners. "You're hungry? Hi hungry, I'm Dad!"

3. People come to you to get stuff fixed.

All those trips to Home Depot are coming back to haunt you.

4. You're expanding your musical horizons, and you enjoy artists not typically appreciated by people your age.

A little Johnny Cash is refreshing when the radio seems to only be interested in "Stitches" by Shawn Mendes.

5. You wake up earlier on weekends, because you can't be productive if you're sleeping in!

Dads love getting stuff done on the weekends.

In conclusion, Dads rock. The habits they rub off on us make us cooler people, however corny the jokes may be.

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.
