An Open Letter To My Hard-Working Father

Not only do you have one job, but you fill the role of both a husband and a father as well.

Dad,

First of all, you're one of the most hard-working people I know. Not only do you have one job, but you fill the role of both a husband and a father as well. Those are full-time jobs to begin with, let alone your money-making job. You consume your days with working so we can have the life that we do. Thank you for your sacrifice.

Dad, you're a giver and you struggle saying no when it comes to helping others out. Sometimes, that overwhelms your plate, but you make the world better by doing that. You spread kindness and love through your efforts.

You give it your all at your job. I know that for a fact. And sometimes, you come home drained and completely exhausted. That also means you miss out on some of our events and you're not around a whole lot, but you try your absolute best. I appreciate your dedication to us, despite what you lose. You make the biggest sacrifice of all, time, by working to provide for our family.

Dad, you set an example for us and a standard for work ethic. I watch you and hope that the man I marry will work as hard as you do to give our children the life you gave us.

Thank you for everything. You're a great man, father, and worker. You do it all. I love you.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
