Hey Dad...This One Is For You
Madison Weaver

Dads–they truly are superheroes. No matter what situation I'm in or advice I need, my dad always knows the answer to everything–– literally. Our dads help us out everyday so much that we probably often forget to thank them for the little things. Your dad should receive gratitude if he has ever done these things...

1. Thanks for working so hard to support our family.

You truly have put in so many hours to support our family. You work constantly to make sure I have everything I could ever want in life, and I can never thank you enough for that.

2. Thanks for showing me the true definition of what being a husband means.

The love you have for Mom is incredible. You always go out of your way to tell and show her how much you love her. You set a good example of what all of us have to look forward to in the future. I now know to find someone who looks at me the way you look at Mom.

3. Thanks for finding a solution to all of my car problems...even when I don't give a good explanation of what is wrong.

You've heard me say, "My car..it's like making like this weird noise," too many times.

4. Thanks for supporting me in cheerleading, even though you'd probably rather me be a football player or something.

You never missed a competition even if it was hours away. You sat through the miserable cheer routines just to watch me. You spotted me in the front yard when I wanted to try a new skill and although I wasn't a football player you still always supported me.

5. Thanks for keeping up with what's "cool".

You know text messaging slang and the words to "Fireball", and really every other song 'cool' people listen to so yeah you're pretty cool too.

6. Thanks for always giving me money for the necessities–clothes, shoes, and Panera.

Because going to Panera at least 8 times a week is an essential to living a healthy life.

7. Thanks for saying yes when Mom says no.

I think I may have manipulated you a few times (-: Good thing you always have to love me.

8. Thanks for supporting my goals and dreams.

You have always been there every step of the way to cheer me on, and I'll never overlook your love and support.

So, Dad, here are just a few of the million thank you's I owe you. You're the best; don't ever forget it.

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.
