15 Things My Father Taught Me Without Realizing

Growing up with one older sister, I was my dads "boy." I played soccer, basketball and softball and my dad was my biggest supporter and motivator to be better. Don't get me wrong, I loved it. My dad and I have always had this humorous, sarcastic relationship through poking fun at others and each other. It's safe to say I've learned quite a lot from him as our relationship has grown.

1. Sarcasm is always the answer

2. Sports are meant to be a part of your everyday life


3. BUT, golf will always be the best


4. A temper will get you no where

5. "You can't bullshit a bullshitter"

6. Always listen to your mother



7. Ketchup is for french fries and hamburgers. Never hot dogs.


8. True happiness can be found mowing the lawn.

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:
