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.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
