10 Things I Thank My Dad For

Now that I am older, I have realized that my dad had a huge part on helping to raise me. Although at times, I may have not agreed with many of the rules, I wouldn't be the same person I am today without them. I want to thank my dad for everything he has done not only for me but for every person and child that came into my his life. So, I thank you for being one of the most amazing people I know.

1. He's my first true love.

He's been there for me since day one and has given me attention, love and support.

2. He's is my savior.

Whenever I have a problem, that I cannot fix he helps me figure it no matter how little or big obstacle could be. He even saves me from college every now and again for a weekend.

3. He will always be my protector.

He wants nothing but the best for me because from day one my dad knew I deserve nothing but the best.

4. He understands.

He understands that I am becoming older and the older I get, the more responsibility I have. He understands that I am a young adult that goes to school and works but I try my very best to see him.

5. He tries.

My dad does his very best to give me and my siblings everything we want and need.

6. My Best Friend.

My dad will always be my best friend, he is someone I can watch movies with all day, joke around and even butt-heads from time to time.

7. Being a great dad.

It is not only me my dad does do all these things for but, for my siblings also. They may not see eye to eye with my dad or even agree with me, but they are still young and one day they will see my dad for all that he has done will do for us.

8. For putting us first.

I see a lot of parents put other people before their kids and I want to thank my dad for always making us kids your first priority in whatever you did.

9. Being such a goof ball.

My dad makes it his mission to put a smile on his kids' face because seeing us distraught hurts him, so he'll do the weirdest things to make us laugh. My dad has awesome jokes that he's been saying my whole life and now I say them as well.

10. A father figure.

My dad has given kids who don't have father figures in their life, a father figure. He gives them someone to look up to and someone who treats them as their own.

P.S Happy 39th Birthday old man, I love you!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
