11 Reasons Dads Are Their Daughters' Best Friends

God's greatest gift to this world was the group of men who hold the title "father". Without dads, this world would be a lot more dull. Dads never fail to be by our side through the good times and the bad. With Father's day nearing, here are just some reasons why the father-daughter bond is unbreakable:

1. They let us do everything mom won't.

And over 7 years later, we all grew to love the dog- even mom.

2. They always do what we ask because we're their "little girl".

Even when my charger is 5 feet away from me, you don't (usually) seem to mind getting it for me and plugging my phone in so it won't die.

3. They make the effort to enjoy things we like.

I know my dad will never actually like "One Tree Hill" or "Grey's Anatomy", but he never passes up the opportunity to watch it with me because he wants to spend time with me.

4. They train us to be strong, tough, and independent.

Nobody messes with daddy's little girl- especially the boys.

5. They always spot us cash, even when we don't actually need it.

Without this, I would be nothing.

6. They spoil us.

I actually do appreciate when you run out to get me food even when you're trying to relax and really don't want to get up.

7. No matter what it is or how embarrassing it is, they will always do it for you.

I'm sure you didn't love playing dress up or taking pictures with my stuffed animals, but you love putting a smile on my face and that is something I will always cherish.

8. We secretly loved it when you embarrassed us, too.

Well, maybe not all of the time, but we still loved you anyway for trying to be cool even though, in our eyes, you already are.

9. They put everyone else before themselves, demonstrating true selflessness.

I will be forever thankful for all of the little things you have done and will do for me in the future, especially when you came to read "Green Eggs and Ham" to my preschool class and made me feel special.

10. It seems like they're always able to effortlessly make us laugh.

After what feels like the longest day of my life, I know I can count on you when I come home to make me forget about my long, hard day.

11. They love us for the women they've raised us to become, imperfections and all.

True love is rooted past judgment and ridicule. The true love shown by a father is seen through the fact that they accept us for who we truly are and vice versa.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
