A Letter To My Dad On Father's Day

At a time in our lives when we were getting used to being apart, you always made time and effort to be in my life.

As Father's day approaches, I find myself thinking about how lucky I am to have a dad like mine. Like many people, my parent's got divorced when I was still kind of young. Although my dad left my house many years ago he never left my life or my heart. He has always stepped up and been the best possible dad I could ever ask for.

To my daddy,

I have so many amazing memories of our adventures while I was young. Trips to the zoo, amusement parks, lots of cookouts and movies. You always know how to make our time together lots of fun and I'll always remember every adventure we've ever had and will have in the future.

I want to thank you for stepping up at a point in a young girl's life when lots of fathers' disappear. I know divorce is hard but sometimes it's for best. At a time in our lives when we were getting used to being apart, you always made the time and effort to be in my life. And you still do.

I know I'm growing up and it must be hard to see your little girl less often, but I just want you to know I am forever grateful for you. I know we might not get to hangout as much as we used to, due to the busy life of a college student but I want you to know you still mean the world to me. I look forward to our phone calls every day, your random funny texts and the time we do spend together. I am beyond lucky to have a dad who cares about his children as much as you do.

I know not everyone is as lucky as I am to have such a great relationship with their dad. I love you so much and I always will. I love the fact that you crack yourself up. I love that you call yourself a "handsome young lad." I love that you're so hardworking and would do anything for your kids. I love that you're always joking around with my friends. I love our daily FaceTime calls. I love the time we spend together.

So here's to a day for recognizing you. A stand up, hard working guy who I'm so lucky to call my dad. An amazing father figure and an amazing person in general. Thank you for being the best dad I could ever ask for. I would honestly be so lost without you. It's a great feeling to know that I can count on you being there for me for the rest of my life. I hope you know, not just today but everyday, that I appreciate you more than I can even express. I am beyond grateful to be able to call you my dad.

Happy Father's Day,

With lots of love from your little girl

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
