A Thank You Note To My Dad

You rock -- don't change!

A Thank You Note To My Dad
Madison Holmes

Dear Daddy,

I’m not one to write super sappy stuff, but I’ll try to stretch out of my comfort zone for you, since it’s Father’s Day and all.

For one thing, I’m really thankful for all the memories we have together. For all the times you sat me down and explained things to me, like how to drive, how to change the oil in my car (even though I still don’t know how -- ha ha, sorry), how to do my math homework (still don’t know how to do that either; sorry again) and how to order a steak properly.

More than that, I’m thankful that you taught me how to be goal-oriented, how to put other people before myself, how to stand up for what I believe and how to be kind. I swear you could write the book on those how-to's.

You taught me all of these things just by being you and leading by example. Not everyone is blessed with a dad who says “I’m proud of you,” who constantly reminds me, “You’re beautiful," or even spares an “I love you.” But, miracle of miracles, I got a daddy who says all of the above. Saying I’m thankful for you wouldn’t quite do justice to how much I love you, but I’ll say it anyway.

You taught me to appreciate all the fine things in life, and I, for one, appreciate how you work really hard, even when it’s not fun. I appreciate how you showed me the way a man should treat me. I appreciate how you love the same snacks as I do (even if you steal them from me sometimes). I appreciate how you make me laugh, from your crazy dance moves to just humoring me when I talk to you in a horrible British accent.

Thank you for all you do, have done and will do for me!

You’re a great father, friend, role model and daddy. God really hit one out of the park with you!

Love,

Madi

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
