Dad Versus Daughter: A Matter Of Opinions On Trends
Lauren Mehle

My dad and I don't always see eye-to-eye, especially when it comes to current trending topics. One day, I decided to ask him what he thought on some of the current hot news. Feel free to LOL at some of his responses.

1. Kanye West

Dad: "Arrogant." I asked what he thought about West's music. His response? "I don't."

Me: I like his old music. I hate him; he is overrated and his recent music sucks.

2. Nordstrom's rock in a pouch for $85

Dad: "I feel sorry for the sucker who buys it," which was followed with, "I must be a billionaire! I have a lot of rocks in the backyard!"

Me: WTF.

3. Uncle wearing suit for his newborn niece because "first impressions matter"

Me: OK, this is so adorable! I think it's great that a young person knows how important first impressions are, because we all are guilty of forgetting that.

Dad: "It's awesome he put forth the effort to be respectful in meeting his niece for the first time. There will be pictures taken and his niece will see that her uncle felt it was important [to look his best]."

4. "Hollyweed" sign

Dad: "Dumb. If people spent their time doing something productive instead of stupid we could have more problems solved."

Me: LMAO. What a hilarious way to start 2017! It is gonna be a rad year.

5. Mariah Carey's NYE performance

Dad: "Unprofessional, but funny." I then asked his thoughts on how Mariah is now blaming a different people for the fiasco: "She needs to take responsibility, too. It's her performance. She is not entitled, big, or important to blame everyone else for it."

Me: I didn't watch it, but I heard about it and thought it was kind of funny. I'm not a huge Mariah fan, and I think she's a brat, so naturally I thought it was ironically funny.

I encourage you to ask your parents, guardians and family what their opinions are. I hope it doesn't end in a family feud!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
