11 Signs You're Your Father's Daughter
Lauren Schatz

You've been told it for years, "wow, you are definitely your father's daughter!" But what exactly does that entail? Definitely puns -- LOTS of puns -- but also a lot of shared character traits, hobbies and interests!

Though it's different for every father and daughter pairing, here are some universal signs that you and your dad are, well, pretty much the same person:

1. You share the same sense of humor.

You've laughed at (or made) every lame "dad joke" in the books.

2. You catch yourself saying things he would say all the time.

"I know I've heard that before. Wait a second..."

3. You get virtually any "old" movie or TV show reference.

Someone throws their hands in the air and yells "Kahn!"? "Star Trek." Someone holds their shoe up to their ear? "Get Smart." Someone says they need a bigger boat? "Jaws." You've seen them all. And, though you would never admit this to your dad, you actually like them.

4. And speaking of old, you can rock out to the classics like no other.

5. That and those cheesy '80s hits.

Let's be real; you totally jam out to songs like "Come on Eileen" and "Hungry Like the Wolf." You probs even have an '80s playlist on Spotify (I won't tell...I have one too).

6. You'll never need to call a handyperson.

Because you've mastered every skill there is! Or at least you know to look it up on Youtube and attempt to figure it out from there.

7. You have similar fashion senses.

Socks with sandals? Heck yes. Thankfully, this is a trend on many college campuses, so at least you can get away with it (sorry, Dad).

8. People say you look like each other all the time.

9. You have very similar personalities (and mannerisms).

Family members constantly comment on how much you two are alike. You (frighteningly) notice it more and more as you get older.

10. You both have mastered the art of grilling.

You know nothings better than cracking a cold one and grilling out some delicious food.

11. You are thankful to share so much in common with someone so great.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
