18 Reasons Why Dads Are The G.O.A.T

No dad, I'm not calling you a goat like the animal.

18 Reasons Why Dads Are The G.O.A.T
Caroline Hernandez

On June 18, we will be celebrating the other half that helped create us, who are best known as dad. Hence the day Father's Day falls on this year, I present to you the 18 reasons dads are the greatest of all time:

1. They never fail to make us laugh

As much as we say we "hate" dad jokes, we can't help but still laugh at them.

2. They give the best advice

Dads are brutally honest and they will tell you to use your brain, not your heart.

3. They always have our backs

When Mom says no, just run to Dad and he'll say yes.

4. They teach us to be strong and independent

"Don't you dare cry over that boy. You don't need him."

5. They send the most precious texts

Nothing sweeter than your dad making a "you're adopted" joke!

6. They are the best food buddies to have

Craving tacos? Dad will know the best taqueria to go to. Maybe you're feeling sushi for dinner? Bet he'll know multiple places. It's late at night but you're really hungry? You can count on your dad to take you to McDonald's to get some chicken nuggets!

7. They are our partners in crime

What else could be better than conspiring with your dad to pull the funniest prank on your mom? Even your mom is going to be laughing about it rather than yelling at the two of you.

8. They set the standards high for the boys we date

"I brought your mom her favorite flowers every day and I always gave her chocolate imported from Europe."

9. They push us to do and be our best

We can count on them to motivate us. Aside from our moms, they are our other number one fan. They will never stop believing in us because they know we can do anything we set our mind to.

10. They raise us to have thick skin

When people try to get under your skin, you just laugh because your dad taught you better than that.

11. They teach us about everything from sports to history

Thank to our dads for exposing us to sports because when boys ask us to name five basketball teams or footballs teams, we don't have to hesitate. Not only that, but we can also surprise everyone with our knowledge about different countries and their cultures.

12. They train us to be strong-willed

They emphasize the importance of hard work. They want us to have determination, so we can succeed.

13. They financially support us

Cute dress with an outrageous price tag or quick run to Chipotle, you can count on him to come through.

14. They keep us grounded

They may spoil us, but they still make sure we don't become foolish.

15. They have the best taste in music

One minute, we're jamming to "It's My Life" by Bon Jovi. The next, we're rapping along to Chance the Rapper's "No Problem".

16. They are always here to make us feel better

Sure, they're not always be sweet about it, but we know they mean well. Tough love, am I right?

17. They work hard to give us everything.

We can never thank our dads enough for all that they've done just so we can have what we need and what we want in life.

18. Most importantly, they love us no matter what.

Regardless of how many times we've disappointed our dads, they will never stop loving us. They are always there to help us back up.

Here's to all the dads out there. Thank you for being you!

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.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
