7 Things I Never Thanked My Dad For
Morgan Carter

I know growing up I never told you how much I really do love you and I never got to thank you for the little things you did for me. I just want to thank you for the little moments, that were actually quite big for me.

1. Our runs for fast food. This was one of my favorite things to do together when I was younger, it was like our own world. Plus it got to be a secret from mom.

2. Car rides together when you sang to me. I loved you driving me to school, telling to put you on my "snap to the chat" all my friends thought you were hysterical.

3.You visiting me at work. It was a nice surprise even when I said you were embarrassing me, it made the long days so much better.

4. When I am mad at you, you make me laugh. I know I tell you I do not find it funny, but you know by the smile on my face you did make it better.

5. Sticking up for me even when I told you I did not want you to. I still do not like that you stood up for me when I specifically told you not to. I do however appreciate you wanted what is best for me and trying to protect me no matter what.

6. Your nicknames for me. I love that you call me doodle no matter how much I say I don't.

7.Our phone calls. I love hearing the funny voices you make, it makes me homesick for a place I never thought I would miss so much.

After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.

Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
