For The Newly Retired Father, Dad, You Did It

Dad,

Thirty years. I know you're wondering where the time has gone, don't worry everyone else is too. In your 30 years, at least the 20 I was there for, you touched the lives of more people than imaginable. You are always the person everyone can call on and trust. I know you saved so many people and helped everyone you could.

Growing up I loved having you as my own superhero. I remember bringing you to my preschool and showing everyone your badges and cool car. All my classmates loved it and I did too.

I know you had the worst schedule ever all the time, but you still made it to all of my softball games and even found time to coach. Which was a trainwreck in itself but now I can appreciate it. You always took the time to force me to practice and always pushed me to be the best even when I fought you over it.

You're the person I call when I'm sad, happy, excited confused. You always send me the best dog pictures and think about me always. When my first boyfriend went to college I remember you left a card telling me it would get better. You're always my original valentine and the best friend a girl could get.

You're the reason I'm so loving and the reason I'm a jokester. You taught me some of the best life lessons that I've even passed on to other people.

I'll miss going to the airport to pet the drug and bomb dogs. I'll miss you walking me through security onto flights and hugging you before I got on. I'll miss meeting all your guys and bringing you donuts.

I'm proud of your past 30 years working for Broward Sheriff but I'm so excited for the next 30 years. I'm excited for you to not be tired from work and not have to deal with pains in the butt.

I love you dad, congratulations on retiring.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
