Confessions From A Daddy's Girl
Abbie Folk

Daddy's girls are seen to be spoiled and, well, close to their fathers. I would know this because I am a Daddy's girl. Ever since I was a little girl, I would go to McDonald's with my dad or go Christmas shopping for my mom with him. Because I am a Daddy's Girl, I have high expectations for relationships. My daddy has always treated me like "his little princess". I think this is where my obsession with fairy tales comes from. A father is the first man a girl will ever love. The man I want to end up with is the man who my father is. Surprise sunflowers or new The Walking Dead episodes every Sunday.

Confession #1: My Dad has always surprised me.

When I was growing up, my dad traveled a lot because of his job. He would always bring me the latest toy home and I would play with them forever. Whether it be Teen Titans or Princess Jasmine's castle. It was always a surprise. When I was younger, toys were all the rage, but now I have realized that my father has become this positive example in my life and that is the best surprise of them all.

Confession #2: My Dad has taught me a lot of lessons.

Work hard and have fun later. A motto I live by because my father has taught me to work hard and never give up. I have always been a diligent and hard-working student. I have never been to a college party because I prefer quiet nights at home or a small gathering with a some of my closest friends. I have big dreams and high expectations. My dad has these too, but his dreams have already came true.

Confession #3: Laugh it OFF.

I laugh all the time. Even if I do not get the joke, I still laugh. It's funny to not get the joke that is being told. My dad is a jokester at a heart. He jokes around all the time; I guess you can call him Chandler Bing. My dad always finds away to laugh at anything. I have learned this too because I laugh at all things. It is better to laugh then to hold grudges. Laughing is the best medicine.

Confession #4: I am an overachiever.

Considering that my dad has to work hard his entire life, inspires me. Working hard is a key aspect in my everyday life. People will always ask, "Why do you turn in assignments earlier"? or they will say, "You have already started something! It's not due for weeks"! I love college and I love to learn. There is something magical about learning that excites me, just call me Rory Gilmore.

Confession #5: I love my Dad!

I am happy that God gave me the father that I have. My dad has set an positive example for my brothers and I. My dad was always there to watch The Walking Dead with me (my friends do not watch scary shows) or the times when he would surprise me with sunflowers. I have learned that my dad has set an example for me to follow. I only hope I can marry a man who loves me as much as my Daddy does!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
