Happy Birthday, Dad!
Britini D'Angelo

Dear Dad,

First of all... Happy Birthday, dad! I can't believe it is already your special day! I love you more than words can express and I am so thankful that you are in my life. You deserve a fantastic birthday, so this is a letter I wrote to you to thank you for everything you have done for me.

Dad, you have taught me so many lessons throughout my life that I will hold on to forever. You taught me to never give up on my dreams, because no dream is too big to accomplish. You have taught me that the working with others, together everyone accomplishes more. TEAM is so important in life. You have taught me to always believe in myself, even when the going gets tough. Yes, life is going to get hard, but if you persevere through the hard times, you will become stronger because of it.

Dad, we have cherished so many memories together. From coaching me in baseball and softball for 13 years, to going to Bills games together, I have been your little girl my entire life. Thank you for constantly showing me love and compassion. You are the best father in the entire world and I wouldn't trade you for anything in the world. Thank you for standing by me and supporting me throughout my entire life. I wouldn't be the woman I am today if it wasn't for you. Dad, I love you and I hope you have the best birthday ever!

Standout Dad

Dear Dad, it’s your birthday,
And I want you to know
I appreciate you more
As the years come and go.

All your good qualities
Stand out and shine;
Fathers are priceless,
And I’m so glad you’re mine!

By Joanna Fuchs

Love,

Britini D'Angelo

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
