Why People Need To Stop Sexualizing The Word 'Daddy'
The Telegraph

Can I be real for just one second? I'm not trying to judge anybody here, but the fact that somebody can call their boyfriend "daddy" makes me cringe. I would rather shove bamboo splinters under my fingernails than to hear a girl call their significant other "daddy." Here's why.

I am a full-blown daddy's girl. Anybody who knows me knows my dad is my best friend, so nine out of 10 times when my dad calls me, I'll answer the phone excitedly, "Hey daddy! How was your day?" And that should not be weird.

Listen, the real dilemma is this: the fact that "daddy" was sexualized to begin with (like why? Who started this?) makes the context of the world irreversible. Somebody will always think of that world sexually when they hear it because who could blame them? It's horrifying. Who could forget it? A "daddy joke" will always be on your Twitter feed somehow -- avoiding it is impossible.

This is my plea, though. if you're going to sexualize daddy, do you, boo, I'm not going to stop you because I can't. However, please do not judge me or other people when we call our dad's "daddy" because that's what he is. When I get married and have kids, I want my kids to be able to call there dad "daddy," because what else are they going to call him? Bro? Amigo? Homie? No. My kids will call there dad "daddy" (or dad or father) because it's tradition.

Thanks for listening.

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.
