11 Signs Of A Tell-Tale Daddy's Girl

We love them or we hate them, but when you and your dad are best friends, it's a little bit of both.

My dad and I are two peas in a pod, so to speak. Since day one, I've been dubbed a "daddy's girl" and that title has followed me through all the into way into my adult years. Don't get me wrong, I love my mom more than life, but my dad and I have always clicked, possibly because his personality was copied and pasted directly into my gene pool like some sort of Simms montage.

I was so fortunate to be born to such an extraordinary dad, but having that same man as my best friend can get a little… interesting? Funny? Straight-out-of-HBO crazy? Probably all of the above, if we're being honest. Below are 11 different things I experience as a daddy's girl- and if you're one, you definitely know what I'm talking about, too.

1. You get in trouble together, never separately.

Mom yelling at one of you? Get ready for the other to jump into their defense, and soon enough, you're both in the doghouse.

2. There's probably a really good reason you two are in trouble.

Teaming up on your younger brother? Knocking over the vegetable display at the grocery during an intense game of tag? Spilling an entire gallon of V8 on the new carpet? Yeah, we deserve it.

3. You can watch action movies..all day long.

"Fast and Furious" and "White House Down" might just be the best films ever made. We are definitely cancelling dinner at the table for chicken wings on the couch.

4. The few times you get into fights are total armageddon moments.

Being practically the same person, you know exactly what gets under one and others' skin and all the right buttons to push. Grab the popcorn- it's about to get interesting.

5. Your mom teaches you the importance of designer bags, but your dad makes sure to teach you how to shoot.

There's a reason "a daddy's girl in her mama's world" is an all too popular song lyric. As Miley Cyrus said, it's truly the best of both worlds.

6. There are endless inside jokes.

All I have to do is look at my dad a certain way and he knows EXACTLY what I'm thinking about. Cue the laugh track.

7. You will never have a boyfriend that good enough.

I think this is the case for all daughters, but in my experience, it's 959104 times worse bringing a guy home when your dad thinks that he should be the only man in your life till you're 30.

8. Your problems are his problems.

Parents are always there to help guide us through life, but my dad makes it his personal mission to help me in any way possible. He's GI Joe until it's fixed.

9. The struggle of moving out is too much to handle.

Your dad will beg you to come home. He might start stalking you at work. He most definitely tracks your car. Would we expect anything less?

10. He thinks you're PERFECT the way you are.

I'm not talking about my personality- my dad tells me all too often that I'm too stubborn and a smart ass. I'm talking about the fact he tried to ground me when I got my cartilage pierced and told me I caused his heart attack when I got a tattoo. Thanks, Pops. Love you too.

11. You find yourself valuing his opinion a little too much.

I had to make sure my dad loved all three of my prom dresses. He reads over my resume everytime I need to update it. I need him to like my friends before I do. Oh well.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
