Dear Potential Partner to my Daughter,

I hope you understand that one day, one day you will have the unfortunate circumstance of meeting me. I've expected this since the day she was born, the first day I ever laid eyes on her newborn eyes barely open will be the same eyes you will last see if you ever hurt her. The first time you ever step into my home I will make sure there is a rubber sheet and a drain in the bathroom floor. Only as a precaution, because I should never need it due to the fact that I will only raise her to believe a significant other is supposed to treat you with love and respect. I will be weeding out all insecurities, all dismay and all "daddy issues," so that people cannot take advantage of her sweetness and innocence that you could suck out of her like a vampire looking for his next meal. God forbid you ever lay hands on her, because they will also be the hands repeatedly hitting leaving you bruises and black eyes. She will know from an early age that love is not violence and it may be hypocritical to beat the hell out of you in that regard but the same hands I stroked her mother's belly in affection and anticipation to this new life I created will be the same ones you can catch. My daughter will know love, she will know how someone who truly loves her should treat her, and if you do not meet up to her or my standards I hope I can convince her to make you disappear.

If I only have boys in the future, the same still holds. You will not take advantage of my son, manipulate him to do your bidding.

P.S If you are not my gender, I'm sure my future wife will hold the same ideas I do.

25 Thoughts Everyone Has When Registering For Classes

May the odds be ever in your favor.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

Western New England University

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
