I have an excellent father. His strength is making me stronger.

Confessions From A Daddy's Girl
Abbie Folk

Daddy's girls are seen to be spoiled and, well, close to their fathers. I would know this because I am a Daddy's girl. Ever since I was a little girl, I would go to McDonald's with my dad or go Christmas shopping for my mom with him. Because I am a Daddy's Girl, I have high expectations for relationships. My daddy has always treated me like "his little princess". I think this is where my obsession with fairy tales comes from. A father is the first man a girl will ever love. The man I want to end up with is the man who my father is. Surprise sunflowers or new The Walking Dead episodes every Sunday.

Confession #1: My Dad has always surprised me.

When I was growing up, my dad traveled a lot because of his job. He would always bring me the latest toy home and I would play with them forever. Whether it be Teen Titans or Princess Jasmine's castle. It was always a surprise. When I was younger, toys were all the rage, but now I have realized that my father has become this positive example in my life and that is the best surprise of them all.

Confession #2: My Dad has taught me a lot of lessons.

Work hard and have fun later. A motto I live by because my father has taught me to work hard and never give up. I have always been a diligent and hard-working student. I have never been to a college party because I prefer quiet nights at home or a small gathering with a some of my closest friends. I have big dreams and high expectations. My dad has these too, but his dreams have already came true.

Confession #3: Laugh it OFF.

I laugh all the time. Even if I do not get the joke, I still laugh. It's funny to not get the joke that is being told. My dad is a jokester at a heart. He jokes around all the time; I guess you can call him Chandler Bing. My dad always finds away to laugh at anything. I have learned this too because I laugh at all things. It is better to laugh then to hold grudges. Laughing is the best medicine.

Confession #4: I am an overachiever.

Considering that my dad has to work hard his entire life, inspires me. Working hard is a key aspect in my everyday life. People will always ask, "Why do you turn in assignments earlier"? or they will say, "You have already started something! It's not due for weeks"! I love college and I love to learn. There is something magical about learning that excites me, just call me Rory Gilmore.

Confession #5: I love my Dad!

I am happy that God gave me the father that I have. My dad has set an positive example for my brothers and I. My dad was always there to watch The Walking Dead with me (my friends do not watch scary shows) or the times when he would surprise me with sunflowers. I have learned that my dad has set an example for me to follow. I only hope I can marry a man who loves me as much as my Daddy does!

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.
