Being a dad isn't a walk in the park, especially to a girl, but you make it look so easy and I don't tell you enough how proud I am to be your daughter. So, here are six thank you's to you, dad!

Thank you for instilling a love of sports in me.

Giphy

Not only did I get to bond with you over the most recent wins of our favorite teams, but it made me that much more appreciative of being a part of something greater than myself.

Thank you for all the food.

Giphy

Crawfish, smoked bologna, corn on the cob, chicken, ribs, I named it and it was all I could eat whenever I wanted it, and I can never thank you enough for keeping my belly full and happy!

Thank you for protecting me.

Giphy

No matter if it was, from the dark or the boys that came over. You always made sure I knew that everything was taken care of, and I was safe from the big bad world.

Thank you for showing me my worth.

Giphy

You never failed to tell me I was pretty or smart even when I wasn't looking all that pretty or being all that smart. Your unconditional compliments showed me how a real man should see me.

Thank you for all the financial support.

Giphy

Raising a dancer and a college girl isn't cheap, but you always made sure I had everything I ever needed. I don't say it enough, but what you provide me never goes unnoticed or unappreciated; I couldn't do any of this without you!

Thank you for, most importantly, being my dad.

Giphy

Fatherhood isn't easy and at any time you could've walked away if you had wanted but you didn't. You've supported me, loved me, and raised me into the woman I am becoming and there are not enough thank you's in the world for that.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.

Chandler Bing
Zimbio

Ah, Ms. Chanandler Bong, or Chandler Bing as he is better known as. For 10 years, Chandler brought us many laughs, many tears, and, well, Matthew Perry's fame. He is, personally, my favorite character on "Friends" because he made me laugh more than any other character on the show and I felt like I could relate to him more than the other characters on the show. Anyway, here are 10 Chandler Bing quotes that anyone can relate to... or graduates can at least...
