Dad, It's Time You Know What I See When I See You
Arizona Birzgalis

Dear Dad,

I think it is time I tell you what I see when I see you.

I see a man who is selfless, who puts everyone else before himself.

I see a man who is pouring out with love and forgiveness.

I see a man with rough hands from working so hard for others.

I see a man with a bad back from baring everyone else's problems and tears and holding them as if they were his own.

I see a father who wants nothing but the best for me.

I think it is time I tell you how much you have impacted me.

You have made me grown into who I am today.

You have made me believe that I can be whatever I want to be.

You have made me understand the world around me.

You have taught me to love like the way you love my mom.

You have taught me to forgive, even when it is hard.

You have made me strong, determined, and driven.

You have taught me how men should treat women.

I think it is time to tell you what I admire about you.

I admire how you have worked so hard to provide for everyone around you.

I admire how you are so kind-hearted.

I admire how you love so deeply for people.

I admire how much you love god.

I admire how you are patient.

I admire how you are so hardworking.

I admire you for everything that you are.

I don't think I've ever told you any of this, or maybe I have and you need to be reminded. You are my super dad. You are my rock and my idol. You are everything I hope and strive to be.

Thank you for being you.

Love,

Your daughter

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
