It's officially Father's Day, the day of the year you should be given an unlimited amount of baseball games, steak, and beer. You've been a dad for almost twenty years now, so before you take off to enjoy that Cardinal's win, I thought it'd be appropriate to thank you 20 times for the decision you made 20 years ago to become a father.

1. Thank you for giving me an incredible taste in music.

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fleetwood Mac, AC/DC, Pearl Jam, honestly, the list can go on.

2. Thank you for always making the yummiest dinners.

Pasta, grilled food, seafood, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.

3. Thank you for giving me your old t-shirts.

They're super comfy to sleep in.

4. Thank you for not getting mad at me when I steal your old t-shirts.

Well, it's self-explanatory.

5. Thank you for preparing me for college.

Because I wouldn't know how to boil my own water, right?

6. Thank you for cracking up at my horrible jokes.

Because they're really bad.

7. Thank you for teaching me how to drive.

I would've been done for if you hadn't showed me how.

8. Thank you for helping me with my math homework.

I'm not majoring in math for a reason.

9. Thank you for pushing me to try my hardest.

I really need the motivation sometimes.

10. Thank you for taking me to baseball games.

Dippin Dots galore!

11. Thank you for strengthening my faith.

I gotta thank mom for this one too though.

12. Thank you for all of the advice you've given me.

Duly noted.

13. Thank you for the fun boat rides.

They're always so relaxing.

14. Thank you for not getting mad at me when I wrecked my car.

Opossums are horrible.

15. Thank you for being my knight in shining armor.

Even when it storms outside.

16. Thank you for only being a call away.

Even when I am three hours away.

17. Thank you for introducing to me new TV shows.

"Walking Dead," anyone?

18. Thank you for always wanting to watch the movies I want to watch.

Except for when we watched Lord of the Rings- was not interested.

19. Thank you for letting me come to my dream school.

I love it more than you all could imagine.

And last but not least...

20. Thank you for being the best dad!!

I'm not kidding, there are a lot other dads out there, but you're number one in my book.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

University of Wisconsin Branch Schools

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort.

Don't Be That Person

Jessica Pinero

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
