11 Lessons I Learned On Dads Weekend

It's that time of the year when dads take over the campus!

Oct 05, 2015

Dads...they are everywhere. Walking around campus wearing their son's or daughter's school colors. Hitting up all the tailgates imaginable. Crowding the bars and taking over the fraternity parties. This special weekend is dedicated to the man who taught you everything you need to know about football, duct tape and how to change a tire. Without these guys, who knows where we would be? So this one is for the fathers and their crazy weekend on campus.

1. Your dad will have constant questions and comments about all your crazy sorority sisters.

"Why are there so many blondes?" "Wow those girls are so loud." "Do you guys do this every weekend?"

2. His liver is a little bit out of season since he left college.

He may be a little concerned, but you know how keep up with the best of them.

3. Meeting your friends' dads is always an interesting experience.

You learn where your friends got their good looks and obnoxious laugh from, and hear every embarrassing story imaginable.

4. The fraternities are in tip-top shape for the alumni coming for a visit.

These boys have to impress the men who are paying for their house renovations.

5. Some dads use this weekend to relive their glory days.

It has been quite a while since these guys have been able to let loose and party like college students.

6. You can take every opportunity you can to enjoy the free tailgate food.

Dads really love sharing food with all the cute college girls.

7. He knows how to make the football game more fun, even if your team isn’t doing too hot.

Your dad usually does his best commentary when you're losing.

8. Your dad runs the tables at beer pong.

He's in his element, there is no stopping him.

9. Being dad-less is totally okay because all the other dads are willing to adopt you.

Find your friend and her dad and tag along. It is like you are part of the family!

10. There is nothing more awkward than having your dad meet a recent hookup.

I recommend just avoiding the situation altogether.

11. You realize that your dad is actually pretty cool and having him around isn’t too bad.

Never take for granted this rare opportunity to spend the entire weekend with the best guy you know. You'll both appreciate it in the long run.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
