A Thank You Letter To My Dad

Since we just got done celebrating Father's Day, I decided now would be the perfect time to write a letter to my Dad.

Dear Dad,

I want to start off by thanking you for being the best father that a girl could ever ask for. Very few daughters have a bond with their father that is as strong as the one you and me have. I know that I may not always be easy to get along with, but somehow you manage to put up with me! To be exact, you have had enough patience and love to deal with me for nineteen years so far! Some say I am stubborn like Mom, others say I get it from you. So thank you for putting up with me and my attitude that was hard to handle at times.

I also want to thank you for being supportive in everything I do. It takes a special kind of Dad to sit through what probably seemed like a million football games and basketball games to you just to watch me cheer. There are very few times that you weren't able to watch me cheer over the course of 11 years. I remember the night that you and Mom escorted me on the track for senior night at my very last home football game. We all might have said we were happy that we had no more football games to sit through, but I think we also knew that this meant my cheerleading career was coming to an end. There are not enough words to say just how thankful I am that you were there for me during my cheerleading years! There were times that you knew I was having trouble with certain things whether it be boys or school, and you still pushed me to do my best and had confidence in me. I cannot thank you enough for that. Even though I am in college, I still see the support that you give to me endlessly. Once again, thank you for being so supportive and having confidence in me.

The next thing I want to thank you for is being a Dad who is into sports as much as I am. I wouldn't want to watch a football game on TV or yell at it like we can be heard with anybody else. Mom probably finds us annoying sometimes during football season, but hey, it is fun to us! I also want to thank you for allowing me to drag you to wrestling matches and tournaments. I am just thankful you wrestled in school and could tolerate the sport because if you hadn't, I am not sure who I would sit at the matches and tournaments with. I am happy that I can share my passion for wrestling with you, not too many dads could say their daughter understands wrestling, let alone enjoy watching it. Lastly, comes baseball. Thank you for also going to baseball games with me. People would sometimes ask what you were doing at the field, and you would just point to me! I enjoyed every sporting event that we went to together, even if you did yell at the refs or umpires sometimes!

Lastly, thank you for just being you! I couldn't imagine life without you. You always seem to know how to make me laugh even when I am not in the best mood. So once again thank you for everything and for being the best Dad that a girl could ever have! Love you!

Love,

Your Daughter

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
