To My Dad

Even dads need to be recognized

To My Dad
kayla whitcher


Alright I want to give a big shout out to my dad, I know most girls have a better bond with their mother then they do their father which is normal. I just feel that dads don't get recognized for the things they do. My dad is one of the greatest guys you will ever meet, well at least in my eyes he is the best. My dad, to me is someone I can look up and admire, he has taught me so many things through out my life it is crazy to even think about. He is a man that has taught me that life just doesn't hand you things, you have to be able to work for them. Sure my dad and I have had our fights I would yell at him he would yell at me, but in the end we would always be able to say sorry to each other and move on. He has shown me what it means to be a good a person and that sometimes you mess up in life, but you can't let it keep you down you have to get back up brush yourself off and keep going. The most important thing that me dad has done for me is not given up on me, neither of my parents have given up on me. My dad has helped me understand a lot of things about what is going on in the world, and has made me think about what my future is going to look like. So to other people he might look like just a dad that loves his daughter and wants the best for her, even if she doesn't agree with what he wants her to do, but to me he is the dad that has never given up on me and is also pushing me to do better, be better, and work harder. I see see a man who is not only my father, but a man who cares about the people that are around him and will do everything in his power to makes sure the people in his life are happy. I will never be abel to repay my dad for what he has done fore me through out these years, but the best thing I can do for him is take the lessons that he has taught and continue to g through life listening and learning. I know it is jus as scary to see me grow up as it is for me to grow up, in one eye he will see me as the adult i am becoming, but in the other eye I will be his little girl that will always need his protection.

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.

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
