A Letter To A Dad From A Daddy's Girl

I love you Dad.

Dear Daddy,

I know that I don't always act like it, but you are my hero. You were my first love, my best friend, and the one man who always had my back. When a boy broke my heart, you were there to pick up the pieces and threaten to shoot with a shotgun we both know you don't have. I know we argue and I know we have our differences as I grew up and expanded my horizons. I know there were boys you didn't like, and I knew there were days when I came home late and you were up worrying about when I was coming home. And it goes both ways. You knew there were days I needed to be alone and didn't wanna talk to anyone, but you still knocked on my door every hour making sure I wasn't crying alone. And when you did find me crying, you came in and tried making jokes through our own tears.

I remember when I was little, and you told me I couldn't date until I was forty, when in reality that started when I was 13. And you always gave my dates strong handshakes letting them know this was your little girl and if they messed with me, you'd mess back. When I wanted to stay up a few extra hours, I'd flash you my puppy dog eyes, (and still do some time) and you'd be like putty in my hands. And just as I did, when you want to go out and have a daddy/daughter date, you'll guilt trip me until I say yes, even though I always wonder why I didn't say yes in the first place.

Now Daddy, I met a good man and I love him very much. He has a very special place in my heart, and he treats me like you always wanted someone to treat me. I know you don't want anyone to take me away from you, but eventually I would even leave by myself if I had to. But you are my dad, and you are the best man in my life. So now I need you to let me grow up and be happy with my decisions.

I love you Daddy. I'll always be your little girl.

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.
