11 Reasons Dads Are Their Daughters' Best Friends

"Good fathers do three things: they provide, they nurture and they guide."

11 Reasons Dads Are Their Daughters' Best Friends
Kelsey Tyrrell

God's greatest gift to this world was the group of men who hold the title "father". Without dads, this world would be a lot more dull. Dads never fail to be by our side through the good times and the bad. With Father's day nearing, here are just some reasons why the father-daughter bond is unbreakable:

1. They let us do everything mom won't.

And over 7 years later, we all grew to love the dog- even mom.

2. They always do what we ask because we're their "little girl".

Even when my charger is 5 feet away from me, you don't (usually) seem to mind getting it for me and plugging my phone in so it won't die.

3. They make the effort to enjoy things we like.

I know my dad will never actually like "One Tree Hill" or "Grey's Anatomy", but he never passes up the opportunity to watch it with me because he wants to spend time with me.

4. They train us to be strong, tough, and independent.

Nobody messes with daddy's little girl- especially the boys.

5. They always spot us cash, even when we don't actually need it.

Without this, I would be nothing.

6. They spoil us.

I actually do appreciate when you run out to get me food even when you're trying to relax and really don't want to get up.

7. No matter what it is or how embarrassing it is, they will always do it for you.

I'm sure you didn't love playing dress up or taking pictures with my stuffed animals, but you love putting a smile on my face and that is something I will always cherish.

8. We secretly loved it when you embarrassed us, too.

Well, maybe not all of the time, but we still loved you anyway for trying to be cool even though, in our eyes, you already are.

9. They put everyone else before themselves, demonstrating true selflessness.

I will be forever thankful for all of the little things you have done and will do for me in the future, especially when you came to read "Green Eggs and Ham" to my preschool class and made me feel special.

10. It seems like they're always able to effortlessly make us laugh.

After what feels like the longest day of my life, I know I can count on you when I come home to make me forget about my long, hard day.

11. They love us for the women they've raised us to become, imperfections and all.

True love is rooted past judgment and ridicule. The true love shown by a father is seen through the fact that they accept us for who we truly are and vice versa.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
