Thank you, Dad

Dear Dad,

I cannot thank you enough for all that you have done for me. I hope your Father's Day was everything and more because you are everything and more to our family.

Thank you, Dad

For being my #1 fan

Thank you for supporting me in my passion for dance. Without your financial sacrifices, I wouldn't have been able to learn all of the life lessons that dance taught me over the years. I will forever be grateful for your support in doing what I love.

For giving our family the world

Our family vacations have given me a love of travelling. From Ireland to Aruba to Hawaii, you have given our family the world. These are memories that will truly stick with me forever.

For always supporting me

Leaving for college has definitely made me appreciate all that my parents have done for me. I can't thank you enough for supporting me as I make my dreams come true at college. I hope I can make you proud as I gain a career of my own. I wouldn't be where I am today without your support.

For keeping me weird

No matter how stressful your day was at work, you are always your weird self around our family. You've taught me to embrace my weirdness. I like that I can be weird around you because you are the weirdest of them all. I love each and every one of our silly moments together.

For fostering a love of sports in me

You've taken me to baseball games since before I can remember. Thank you for teaching me the game. I like that I can talk baseball with you now. Watching Penguins' hockey with you is also one of my favorite things. I know, even when I'm old with my own family, I will always want to watch Pittsburgh sports with you.

For giving me the strangest nicknames that will always stick with me

I am almost certain that no other father in the world calls their daughter Pants. The origination of the nickname still remains a mystery to me, but it has become our little thing. There's nothing better than when you come home from work and yell "PANTS". I know sometimes I act like I hate it, but I secretly do appreciate it.

Happy Father's Day, Dad. I love you!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
