7 Reasons You Call Your Dad
Lara Parker

In one of the recent iPhone updates there has been a new feature added known as Siri Suggestions. This feature shows the contacts that you call or text the most. Now, with this new little gadget I've come to realize (like most of you probably have) that my mom is always in my top four suggestions.

But then it got me thinking ... where's my dad? It made wonder why I don't call him as much ... and if I do, what do I usually call him about? So here are a few reasons why you might call the most awesomest man in your life.

1. To find mom.


“Where’s mom?”

"Can you put her on the phone?"

“When will she be back?”

“Can you tell her to call me?”

2. To ask questions about your car.


“How do you change a tire?”

“What do I do if my car is making a noise that sounds like nails in a blender?”

“How much does an oil change cost?”

“On a scale of 1-10, how mad would you be if I crashed into the back of a Honda?”

“Can you spare some gas money?”

“Who do I call if someone hit me? Do I call the cops?”

“What even is our insurance company?”

“How do I jump-start a car?”

3. When you need directions.


“Which way would be faster?”

“Wait, am I turning right off Maple Street or left?”

“Do I take exit 14 or exit 17?”

"What happens if I go through an E-ZPass lane without an E-ZPass?"

"What if there's no place to do a U-turn?"

“Should there be a river on the right side?”

“What if I went down a one way street?”

4. When something breaks.


“My laptop may or may not be broken … what do I do?”

“Duct tape can fix it right?”

“What do I do if the toilet won’t flush?”

“How do I fix my phone screen?”

“Can you buy me a new one?”

“Is breaking a window bad luck? Or just a mirror?”

5. When you're trying to be an adult.


“How do I write a résumé?”

“How do I register to vote?”

“Do you know how to file taxes?”

“How should I shake hands at an interview?”

“How do I apply for a credit card?”

“Should I see a doctor?”

“What’s a lease?”

“How do I pay my loans?”

6. When you have questions about boys.


“Why do they leave the toilet seat up?”

“What should I get him for Christmas?”

“Why do boys suck?”

“Were you like this at your age?”

“Do you want to meet him?”

7. To be reminded how much he loves you and remind him how much you love him.


“Can you talk to me while I’m walking alone back to my dorm?”

“Do you love me or [insert sibling] more?”

“Would you be mad if I dropped out of school and became a stripper?”

“You know how much I love you, right?”

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.
