To My Dad

Even dads need to be recognized

To My Dad
kayla whitcher


Alright I want to give a big shout out to my dad, I know most girls have a better bond with their mother then they do their father which is normal. I just feel that dads don't get recognized for the things they do. My dad is one of the greatest guys you will ever meet, well at least in my eyes he is the best. My dad, to me is someone I can look up and admire, he has taught me so many things through out my life it is crazy to even think about. He is a man that has taught me that life just doesn't hand you things, you have to be able to work for them. Sure my dad and I have had our fights I would yell at him he would yell at me, but in the end we would always be able to say sorry to each other and move on. He has shown me what it means to be a good a person and that sometimes you mess up in life, but you can't let it keep you down you have to get back up brush yourself off and keep going. The most important thing that me dad has done for me is not given up on me, neither of my parents have given up on me. My dad has helped me understand a lot of things about what is going on in the world, and has made me think about what my future is going to look like. So to other people he might look like just a dad that loves his daughter and wants the best for her, even if she doesn't agree with what he wants her to do, but to me he is the dad that has never given up on me and is also pushing me to do better, be better, and work harder. I see see a man who is not only my father, but a man who cares about the people that are around him and will do everything in his power to makes sure the people in his life are happy. I will never be abel to repay my dad for what he has done fore me through out these years, but the best thing I can do for him is take the lessons that he has taught and continue to g through life listening and learning. I know it is jus as scary to see me grow up as it is for me to grow up, in one eye he will see me as the adult i am becoming, but in the other eye I will be his little girl that will always need his protection.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.
