What to Get This Father's Day
Erin Eaton

My father is a very hard man to shop for. He's into racing cars, running, and his Doberman. He's also one of those people that buys everything that he needs at the time he needs it, so no one else has a chance to buy it for him. I always ask him for ideas for Father's Day, but, like every other dad, he says, "Nothing." So if your dad is like mine and he never gives any hints, here are a some gift ideas for your stubborn father.

If your dad is athletic try some of these small but handy gifts:

1. Running Arm Band


2. Fitbit


My dad really loves his Fitbit Charge HR. For him, it's about tracking his activity and heart rate. Different versions of the Fitbit track different things like: sleep, heart rate, steps taken, miles walked, calories burned, and stairs climbed.

3. Oakley Sunglasses


Be careful with these! They are quite expensive, so don't lose them in the ocean like my dad did!

If your dad is more technologically advanced than you, here are some cool gadgets:

1. Power Cube

The gift that keeps on giving for everyone in the family!

2. AERIX Drones

If your dad has an inner child, here you go!

3. Dancing Water Speakers


4. PlayDate


Wonder what your pets do while you're not at home? Now you can, with a ball that has a built in camera.

For stylish dads:

1. Fossil Watch


2. Cufflinks

3. Yeti LowBall

With this, your dad can make mixed drinks on the rocks with the cup that will keep his drink cold for hours!

There are all types of dads. These are just some ideas. There is something out there for every father on their special day! Amazon and Ebay are great websites to get a great deal for whatever you decide to purchase this Father's Day. Remember that it's the thought and love that counts. Don't worry about its being perfect, because I'm sure he will appreciate it all. He loves you, after all.

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.
