7 Reasons He's More Than A Dad, He's My Superhero

All dads are great, but my dad is basically a superhero.

With Father's Day coming up, I wanted to write a shout out to my dad to make sure he knows how awesome he is. My dad has three daughters, including myself. Raising girls is a challenge, but he handles it like a pro. He's always been a rock in my life, and I appreciate him so much. Here are just a couple of reasons why my dad is basically a superhero.

1. He is a guy that knows how to do hair!

My sisters lost their mother a few years back, and this left my dad to do all the girly things for them. For example, he learned how to do ponytails, pigtails and even some braids! #realman

2. He's full of dad humor.

Though his humor is sometimes corny, I still enjoy it just the same.

3. He's a hard worker, through and through.

My father is the type of guy who is willing to work for what he has. He doesn't expect any handouts or charity. He works hard and rough. Everything he has he bought himself and deserves.

4. He is a real protector.

Any time a boy/anyone has upset me, my dad has always been there ready to beat them up or just listen. He is always looking out for my best interests, and I love him for that.

5. He always makes sure I have everything I need.

Whether it be a helping hand, twenty bucks, or just someone to listen, he is always around. He has been there for me for my entire life. #bestdad

6. He tells me how it is, always.

Dad advice is the best advice. You might not think that way when you're young, but they know everything. They always want what's best for you.

7. He loves me unconditionally.

My dad is my champion. He has never left me to wonder if he cared. He takes care of me and loves me despite my many flaws and annoying qualities. I am one lucky daughter.

My dad is so awesome for so many more reasons than these. It takes a real man to be a father, and he has proven himself time and again. I love him forever, and I'll always be his girl. I hope this Father's Day is spent showing your father/man in your life how special they are. I love you dad! <3

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
