3 Things That Show What It Is Like To Have Daddy Issues

Daddy's little girl means a lot to many girls in today's world. Some do not get that luxury like most and look for it in other things, like reliving childhood as a teen or even adult and/or finding their father figure within different types of relationships. Sometimes in relationships, calling someone "Daddy" is not in a joking manner. It is not incestual either. It is a mental comfort for many. (This is all from personal experiences.)

1. You see your significant other as a parenteral figure.

They are always there for you. They are there to comfort you or give you a nice hug or even prepare you for a hard task. People with these types of issues cling to these types of people because they never had that as a child from one parent or another. It is hard to understand the psychology behind it but one thing I do know is that a person's childhood impacts a lot of the person's actions of later in life. This is one of those moments.

2. You look up to the one adult figure who helped you.

Giphy

That one adult figure could be anyone you are really close to. It could be your art teacher that makes sure you are on task or the assistant principal or maybe a family member you became very close with. Sometimes they are registered to feel the void of the missing part.

3. You have age regressions.

Giphy

Sometimes, people have certain things that have them resort to their childhood. This could be a certain phrase, blanket, stuffed animal, or place. They forget about the world and get to live the childhood that they wanted. It is different with each person (like most things within this topic).

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.

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.
