Everyday Is Father's Day

You have been blessed by one pun-master supreme.

Everyday Is Father's Day
We Heart It

Dads are great, as long as they don't abandon you in your early childhood causing you to have severe daddy issues and multiple maxed out credit cards because of all the therapy. If that's not you, then congrats! You have been blessed by one pun-master supreme. Let's talk a little about the joys of having a loving father in your life.

The Dad Joke

You have got to give it to them. Nothing fails to make you groan, cringe and uncomfortably shuffle simultaneously as dad humor. Sometimes it's ingenious, sometimes it's not. Either way, we love that we hate it.

The Awkward Interaction

The power struggle that occurs between your dad and your boyfriend is as primal as it gets. It always brings amused discomfort to you, your mother and any other unfortunate soul watching the initial interactions. It's endearing seeing how protective your father is of you. Who doesn't want to see their boyfriend squirm every now and then? If anyone can get that to happen, it's a dad.

The (No) Trust

Learning how to drive is a stressful experience. It's not an innate trait of humans and makes you feel like a fawn learning to walk. Your confidence isn't at its highest and you think having a parent with you will help you feel calm and safe. Wrong. Anxiety replaces that calm feeling and how can anyone feel safe when the person next to them questions their every movement? This experience results in a lot of screaming, panicking and silent treatment after the fact. Monumental as it is in the relationship between a father and their child, it is one many people do not try to dwell back on.

The Clear-Cut Advice

While a mom might over-analyze the situation and give you 500 choices for the thousands of scenarios she created in her head, your dad will give you one. He will deliver his advice in a matter-of-fact kind of way and go about his day. He will not overthink it later on in the day and try to continually discuss it with you. You've got to love a dad for his decisiveness and bluntness.

Jokes aside, there are many reasons to be thankful for a dad. They are the one person in your life, aside from your mother, that have your back no matter what. They give you the foundations on what a man should be and they make sure you don't settle for anything less. They give you support, advice and love anytime you need it in the most subtle ways. They may not smother you with affection, but there probably isn't a daughter out there that isn't loved most in the world by her father.

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.

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.
