Dear Dad

Words are not enough to tell you how much I appreciate you

Dear Dad

Dear Dad,

Let me start off by telling you that I am very blessed to have a dad like you.

You were the first man that I fell in love with. You’ve been the best cheer dad there is out there, biggest motivator, and have always given me unconditional love.

You taught me little things like how to ride my bike, to throw and catch a baseball, how I could have fun when the power goes out, how to clean, and to drive.

But you’ve also taught me things that I’m not sure you even notice you’ve taught me. Things like to always give my 110% percent on everything I do, to be a hard worker, how to deal with money, and that sacrifice’s come with growing up.

Throughout the years I’ve also learned that I get a lot of things from you. The way our fingers are the same, our math skills, how we sit the same, and our love for anything Disney.

When I was little I always scared of you because of how strict you were. Not that I wasn’t scared of mom but you seemed to be the stricter parent, so I thought. But now that I’ve grown up and I’ve noticed that you are the funniest person I have met. As well as a loveable guy. You love mom and your kids so much and it shows, which I admire.

Because you have weird hours working I love anytime that I get to spend with you. Whether it’s watching baseball, UFC, Friends, or the Dis. Or if its spending five hours in a car taking me back to college. Anytime I get with you I cherish.

I feel very blessed to have a father like you. You have been there for me through every step of the way. You’ve taught me that it’s okay to make mistakes because it’s a learning lesson. You’ve always told me to dream big and not to settle. You working all the time has showed me to be a hard worker and a great work ethic. As well as given your family everything we wanted and needed. I know working overtime and missing out on Diana’s, JJ’s or mine events isn’t easy but I know that you do it all for us.

You are the best father a girl could ask for. There is no other man like you. I love you.

Love,

Your Daughter

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.
