Appreciating My Dad For Father's Day
Alexa Valdez

Dad,

Where do I even begin?

You are my dad, my twin, my inspiration, my first love.

Let me just start out by saying that I am an extremely lucky person. I grew up with both of my parents who were very supportive of me.

My dad is the reason that I work so hard to get ahead in life. The person who has literally sacrificed everything so that my siblings and I could have a better life than he did.

I cannot wait to graduate next year because all of my accomplishments are thanks to him and my mom pushing me to do my best all of these years.

My dad always taught me to appreciate everything that I have because he never had it. You name it - new clothes, food, an education. My Dad has worked hard his whole life for his family and I am forever grateful.

My dad is not just a hard worker, but he is hilarious. He always knows how to light up a room. He is always the life of the party and he is unapologetic of that. My dad is not afraid to be himself and I love that about him.

I have so many wonderful memories with my Dad that makes me appreciate my childhood. Whether it was playing sports outside like soccer, basketball or beach volleyball. My dad can do it all. He is so good at playing sports.

My dad is an amazing cook. Even though I don't live with my dad anymore, I always love to go over to eat for dinner. My Dad makes the best Mexican food. Honestly, I have never had Mexican food as good as Dad's. Don't even get me started on his salsa, it is amazing.

There are so many great things about my dad that I love so much. He is kind. He is so smart.

Papi, quiero que sepas que tu eres mi inspiracion. I am so proud of all of your accomplishments and just know that I will always be here for you.

Te quiero mucho.

Love,

Tu Prieta

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
