Hey Dad...This One Is For You
Madison Weaver

Dads–they truly are superheroes. No matter what situation I'm in or advice I need, my dad always knows the answer to everything–– literally. Our dads help us out everyday so much that we probably often forget to thank them for the little things. Your dad should receive gratitude if he has ever done these things...

1. Thanks for working so hard to support our family.

You truly have put in so many hours to support our family. You work constantly to make sure I have everything I could ever want in life, and I can never thank you enough for that.

2. Thanks for showing me the true definition of what being a husband means.

The love you have for Mom is incredible. You always go out of your way to tell and show her how much you love her. You set a good example of what all of us have to look forward to in the future. I now know to find someone who looks at me the way you look at Mom.

3. Thanks for finding a solution to all of my car problems...even when I don't give a good explanation of what is wrong.

You've heard me say, "My car..it's like making like this weird noise," too many times.

4. Thanks for supporting me in cheerleading, even though you'd probably rather me be a football player or something.

You never missed a competition even if it was hours away. You sat through the miserable cheer routines just to watch me. You spotted me in the front yard when I wanted to try a new skill and although I wasn't a football player you still always supported me.

5. Thanks for keeping up with what's "cool".

You know text messaging slang and the words to "Fireball", and really every other song 'cool' people listen to so yeah you're pretty cool too.

6. Thanks for always giving me money for the necessities–clothes, shoes, and Panera.

Because going to Panera at least 8 times a week is an essential to living a healthy life.

7. Thanks for saying yes when Mom says no.

I think I may have manipulated you a few times (-: Good thing you always have to love me.

8. Thanks for supporting my goals and dreams.

You have always been there every step of the way to cheer me on, and I'll never overlook your love and support.

So, Dad, here are just a few of the million thank you's I owe you. You're the best; don't ever forget it.

Christmas tree
Librarian Lavender

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
