10 Phone Calls Every College Girl Has Made To Her Dad, At Least Once A Semester
Marguerite Rix

There are a lot of different people that us girls will call up while struggling through the college years. Whether it be our moms when we need advice, our friends when we need a pick-me-up or a mentor who can get us through the hard times. But sometimes, the only person who can answer our most random questions: Dad. Here are 10 phone calls that almost every college girl has made to her father at some point in time, and probably more than once:

1. "My car is making that *insert screeching imitation sound* again"

Usually followed by, "How much is this going to cost?" and if that answer is a shock, the next following question is "So.. how hard will it be to fix it myself?" And then proceed to have a 10-hour conversation while you're instructed over the phone.


2. "So my school advisor said something about loans but I'm not sure.. can you explain this school bill to me?"

Anything with finances. It goes in one ear and out the other while secretly panicking about how much is owed after graduation. Also, probably good to double check that you aren't getting screwed over.

3. "The doctor said this.. can you explain it in human terms for me?"

*Tries to memorize everything the doctor said to repeat it to dad on the phone while walking out of the office* Then horribly trying to say the name of the medicine they prescribed for the common cold you have, which also had a medical name you can't say correctly.

4. "I'm filling out this form/document/contract, what do I put on this line?"

Paperwork is a nightmare. Am I a dependent, when was the last time I saw this doctor, what's our insurance number, should I sign this, what does this mean, is this a trap? All gibberish.

5. "Do I really need to go to college?"

Scheduling appointments. Car questions. Customer service. Any adult phone call that needs to be made really.

6. "Can you make this call for me..?"

Scheduling appointments. Car questions. Customer service. Any adult phone call that needs to be made really.

7. "I need to tell you something but don't tell mom"

Dads are such gems because they never judge you for all the same mistakes you make over and over again.

8. "My bathroom sink isn't draining what do I do?"

Yeah, you're right. It probably is because of all the hair. Sorry, can't do much about that unless I shave my head bald and we both know that ain't happening.

9. "Can you send me a picture of the dog?"

Sometimes you just need a little dosage of cuteness from back home. And to make sure the dog is still being taken care of

10. "Guess what happened today?!"

Literally any good news, dad is always there to celebrate with you. Despite the fact that most of the calls are repetitive questions that they're tired of answering once a week, we'll always be their little girls.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
