My Dad Is A Cop And I Could Not Be Prouder, So Please Don't Make Terrible Cop Comments Around Me

Being a cop's daughter is probably the most stressful life a girl can have.

Being a cop's daughter is probably the most stressful life a girl can have.

I didn't choose this life but, I was born into it. There are nights to where that I never know if my dad will ever come home or if it is the last time I see him when he walks out the door for work. At night, when he's at work and the phone rings it is probably the scariest thing because I never know if it's the call that will make my life change forever.

I know that some people don't like cops or "hates" them but, they are human just like you and me. They also have families and people who love them. I am so proud that my dad is a cop because he puts his life in danger sometimes because he wants to protect other people's life.

So, when I scroll through social media and see that people are bashing cops I take that to heart because I have someone who I love deeply putting his life on the line every day and he should not be bashed because of something that another cop did. Not all cops are bad. Please keep your comments to yourself because I see them and they actually hurt me to read.

When you find out that my dad is a cop, please don't make the comments "If I get pulled over, I will just say that I'm his daughter's friend so I don't get a ticket" or "Will your dad get me out of a ticket?" No, my dad will not get you out of a ticket. If you are in the position to get a ticket then take the ticket. I'm not going to be your friend if the reason is that you think that my dad will get you out of trouble. Also, don't get mad when I actually text or call my dad to see if he will help you out and he says no.

Just know that cops are human too and they have families at home. Think before you post something bad or something terrible about a cop. Just know that everyone will see that and it will get back around to the families of the officer.

Also, all the families have the back all the officers no matter where they are from. Please be respectful and next time you see a cop on the street don't make a bad comment, tell him to thank you for all he does. That one simple comment will make his or her day.

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?

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.
