11 Reasons Why the Dad Bod is Actually the Worst

I know that a guy having a "dad bod" is thought of as a huge turn on for a lot of girls, but I am here to stand up for the girls who cannot stand it. Personally, I have never been attracted to this type of thing, and neither are some of my friends. Here are a 11 reasons why the dad bod is actually the worst:

1. Girls are always expected to have this amazing body when guys don't try the slightest bit.

2. I already have issues reaching up to hug someone. I don't want to have trouble reaching out in front of me.

3. It is more impressive when a guy takes off a shirt and you can tell he at least attempts to work out, and not be near to what the dad bod looks like.

4. "Dad" is in the term.

5. Because the word "dad" is in there, that's like a girl saying she's attracted to what her dad looks like.

6. A mix of the beer gut and a hairy chest is the furthest thing from being a turn-on.

7. It's an excuse for guys so that they don't have to work out.

8. When a girl has some fat on her, a guy will freak out and not think of them as hot.

9. A guy will pretty much brag about having "a beer gut."

10. It's dumb to even brag about drinking. We're in college, almost everyone does it.

11. This is supposed to be the prime of our lives. Everyone wants to look back at pictures and think, "Wow, I looked really good when I was in college."

So girls, please don't encourage the dad bod. Guys are stubborn and won't listen, but maybe, just maybe, they won't think of it as an acceptable thing.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
