1. DAD JOKES.

Thank you dad for always telling the best jokes. They are always so cheesy and hilarious and you tell the best jokes ever.

2. He provides for us.

Thank you for always providing me with anything I need or want. When I first moved away my dad came to visit me and made sure I always had what I needed.

3. He boosts my confidence.

Thank you dad for always giving me pep talks and boosting my confidence more than anyone else. Thank you for never letting me forget my worth.

4. He is a second dad to my friends.

My dad has a literal open door policy for my friends and they know they can come over anytime. Thank you dad for being a second dad to all of my friends.

5. He gave me a work ethic.

My dad never rests. He owns his own business and he is constantly working to better him self and he has taught me to always push. Even when it’s summer he has taught me to always find some thing to do. Thank you dad for teaching me such a valuable lesson.

6. He loves our pets like they are his.

My dad is all of the animals favorite person. He spoils them rotten and he has taught us how to take care of our future pets. Thank you dad for loving our animals so much.

7. He has taught us tough lessons.

My dad has always been a pretty chill person with not a lot of rules to follow but when we mess up he lets us know. He corrects our wrong behavior and for that I am so thankful because I have learned so much through these tough lessons. Thank you dad for all of the lessons.

8. He loves us more than his parents loved him.

My dad didn’t have the easiest growing up and I would’ve never survived growing up like he did. My dad has been the complete opposite of his parents and absolutely spoiled my sister and I and he has always been there for us. Thank you dad for being the best dad ever.

Thank you dad for being so loving and caring. I couldn't thank you enough for bending over backwards to ensure that my sister and I are get everything we need and want. These are just a few of the many reasons why I am so thankful for you.

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!

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.
