7 Ridiculous Things My Father Has Done

There isn't anybody who is quite as unique as my dad.

7 Ridiculous Things My Father Has Done
Lisa Micari

In honor of Father's Day being this weekend, I decided to dedicate this post to my father. There are...unique...dad's out there everywhere, but none quite like mine. Here's a list of things my father has done, that your father probably has not.

Do NOT try any of these at home!

1. He messed up Hamburger Helper...Big time!

We've all had our kitchen catastrophes, but this is the mother of them all. One day I walk into the kitchen and my dad was making hamburger helper. He told me that the recipe called for milk and that we ran out of milk. He then informed me that, as a substitute, he used French Vanilla coffee creamer. Now, this next part is my fault...I could have just walked away, but I was curious. Needless to say, we both tasted this horrible concoction and were both gagging and throwing up.

2. He tried to snort a Lo-Mein Noodle.

Honestly, I don't really want to relive this one. All I'll say is that the noodle was almost halfway into his nostril. My friend was over. There was more gagging.

3. He used an old pair of pants as a torch.

This one was actually pretty recent. He was talking about making a torch and then all of a sudden he came back with a pair of pants doused in gasoline, tied it to a long pole, and set it on fire.

4. He accidentally wrecked the stage during a worship set.

I wasn't there for this one, but as I was told, he was playing bass and his strap broke so he wanted to go get a chair from behind the stage. While doing this, he knocked over three Aviom units. All in the middle of a song.

5. He took me on a boat on the lake...we sank it.

The boat had a 250 pound weight limit. We both got on it and brought fishing equipment...suddenly, I was swimming.

6. He Dyed His Beard Purple

Not only was his beard hair purple, but so was the skin underneath. He has also tried to use shoe polish in an attempt to dye his beard, as well.

7. He's lit his chest hair on fire...

This one is pretty self explanatory. The smell was horrendous.

These are just SOME of the things that my father has done. I hope you enjoyed reading these stories as much as I enjoyed telling and experiencing them. I've definitely never met anyone as unique as my dad. He's done absolutely ridiculous things, but he's still pretty great, and I love him.

Happy Father's Day!

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

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.
