Dear Dad

Words are not enough to tell you how much I appreciate you

Dear Dad,

Let me start off by telling you that I am very blessed to have a dad like you.

You were the first man that I fell in love with. You’ve been the best cheer dad there is out there, biggest motivator, and have always given me unconditional love.

You taught me little things like how to ride my bike, to throw and catch a baseball, how I could have fun when the power goes out, how to clean, and to drive.

But you’ve also taught me things that I’m not sure you even notice you’ve taught me. Things like to always give my 110% percent on everything I do, to be a hard worker, how to deal with money, and that sacrifice’s come with growing up.

Throughout the years I’ve also learned that I get a lot of things from you. The way our fingers are the same, our math skills, how we sit the same, and our love for anything Disney.

When I was little I always scared of you because of how strict you were. Not that I wasn’t scared of mom but you seemed to be the stricter parent, so I thought. But now that I’ve grown up and I’ve noticed that you are the funniest person I have met. As well as a loveable guy. You love mom and your kids so much and it shows, which I admire.

Because you have weird hours working I love anytime that I get to spend with you. Whether it’s watching baseball, UFC, Friends, or the Dis. Or if its spending five hours in a car taking me back to college. Anytime I get with you I cherish.

I feel very blessed to have a father like you. You have been there for me through every step of the way. You’ve taught me that it’s okay to make mistakes because it’s a learning lesson. You’ve always told me to dream big and not to settle. You working all the time has showed me to be a hard worker and a great work ethic. As well as given your family everything we wanted and needed. I know working overtime and missing out on Diana’s, JJ’s or mine events isn’t easy but I know that you do it all for us.

You are the best father a girl could ask for. There is no other man like you. I love you.

Love,

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.
