5 Worst TV Dads
bad tv dads

This past week, we celebrated fathers all around the world for being our saviors, superheroes and our closest friends. Dads deserve a celebration for everything that they do for us, but not all dads are the same. Some of us get stuck with ones who are not the best fit for the role. Luckily, TV has introduced us to some of these poor paternal figures to make us feel grateful for our fathers.

Here is a run-down of the worst TV dads:

Stannis Baratheon, "Game of Thrones"

Finding good paternal figures in Game of Thrones is a challenge in itself, but Stannis Baratheon takes the title. He burned his only daughter alive for a chance at becoming king. That is some parenting.

Don Draper, "Mad Men"

His GOOD looks were no compensation for the fact that not only was he a cheating husband, but also an absent father who abandoned his children for his desires. He didn’t know how to interact with them, and did not take any opportunity to show an interest in his own children.

Conrad Grayson, "Revenge"

Evil to say the least, Conrad is the epitome of a selfish man who put the lives of other people at disposal for his profit, including his wife and children. He single-handedly was responsible for a fatal plane crash that killed hundreds, later framed his wife’s lover, and taught his children that money and power always came first.

Dan Scott, "One Tree Hill"

To be honest, there is not much you can expect from a person who murdered his own brother. He made two women pregnant, abandoned the mother of his first child to raise the second child who ended up hating him too.

Peter Griffin, "Family Guy"

Sorry to all the Family Guy fans, but this man is no family guy. When he is not causing destruction with Quahog, he is at home farting on Meg’s face and calling her ugly, ignoring Chris’s attempts at trying to bond with him, and not even acknowledging Stewie.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
