An Open Letter To My Superhero... Wait, I mean My Dad
Hannah Call

Dear Daddy,

When someone asks you, "What is a Superhero to you," the first thing that pops into your mind is somebody that can fly, somebody that has some supernatural power, or somebody who puts on a costume and saves Gotham City. However, when asked the same question, the first person I think of is you. Maybe you can't fly and maybe you don't have a costume up in your closet that allows you to turn in to this supernatural human (or maybe you do and I haven't found out yet). But, you are the most amazing man I have ever known. You are my protecter. You are my teacher. You are my coach. You are my father.

From the day I was born, you ensured that I had the best life possible. Well, I'm here to tell you, I do have the best life possible and without you, it wouldn't be so worth it. Like Thor, you are strong when I am down. Like Batman, always reminding me if I set my mind on something, I can always achieve the task at hand. Like Spiderman, always "webbing" the family together. Like Captain America, always being a leader and showing dedication to everything set in front of you. Like Iron Man, through your intelligence and knowledge. Last, but definitely not least, Deadpool, the funniest character but tends to get annoying (of course I'm going to say that, I'm your daughter).

If I had to pick my favorite superhero, I'd choose Spiderman. No, I'm kidding. I'd choose you. I know you may be annoying at times or over protective. But, I get it. You're my Dad and that's what Dads' do. So, thank you. Thank you for meeting all the boys who didn't work out, or as you would say, "Not good enough for my daughter." Thank you for dealing with the constant attitude. Thank you for pushing me everyday to be the best me possible. Thank you for providing me with all the materials I need to succeed. Thank you for teaching me how to play softball. Thank you for always making sure I have air in my tires. The list could go on forever. But, most importantly, thank you for loving me unconditionally.

Before I finish, I want to say one more thing that I'm thankful for. I know you are probably already crying. Actually, I know you're crying. I'm almost done, I promise. I want to specifically thank you for showing me what true love really is. The way you love my mom is magical. The way you make her laugh is like no other. After so many years of marriage, you continue to talk about her as if the wedding was yesterday. You allow me to see what a true husband looks like. You have love like Superman and Lois Lane. You are everything I want in my future partner. I hope they love fishing and Ohio State football just as much as you.

You're my Superhero and I love you.

With love and a little attitude,

Your daughter

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
