A Letter To My Future Daughter

A Letter To My Future Daughter
impious digest

Dearest Daughter,

I write this letter to you at the tender and virile age of 21. Here's a picture for reference.

Look how full of life I am. You can almost see the lack of fatherhood in my smile.

Anyways, I can't even begin to tell you how much I love you because I don't know you. I mean, how would I know if I love someone I don't even know? But we can clear that up fairly easily.

Do you like Star Wars?

If so, then I can at least say that I think you're fairly tolerable. If not, well then I assume your adopted parents are the ones who gave you this letter.

But I digress.

My plan is to give this to you on your eighteenth birthday, which will most likely mean that you're currently a senior in high school. Thus, I think congratulations are in order. Great job on getting that athletic, academic, or poor people scholarship!!

So sorry if you didn't actually get a scholarship to college. But if you need any help filling out your McDonald's job application, talk to your mother.

I gotta wrap this up, but I do have a few questions for you before I go. You'll be receiving this letter in a reality far different than the one I currently occupy, so I'm interested to know what it's like.

Did Trump win the 2016 election?

How's my mansion?

Am I still handsome? If "no," why are you lying to your father?

Lastly, I need you to fill in the blank so that I will know if I raised you well or not. If you can finish this sentence, despite whatever mistakes I've made as a father, I can always have some shred of dignity as a parent.

"Dicks out for _______"

Okay, so if you can Interstellar those answers to me that'd be great. Do you know that movie? If not just watch it on your iPhone or whatever device Apple has out that was built with the blood, sweat, and tears of Chinese children.

Anyhow, it's Friday night so I gotta go do some things that I'll disown you for if you ever do. Ta ta for now!

Love (maybe),

Your dad

Life is hard. You know what makes it even more tough? Living with chronic b*tch face (CBF). This condition is so debilitating that I have decided to chronicle the 10 things everyone who suffers from CBF experiences. Who better to help me than the queen of CBF herself, Blair Waldorf?

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
