10 Signs Your Dad Is Clearly THAT Dad
Jenna Pizzi

If your dad is THAT dad, don't take him for granted.

While at times he may be annoying, it's only because he cares too much about you to watch you get hurt. Having that type of dad is rare, so when you have that in your life, thank him every step of the way.

1. All of your friends tell you how funny he is

Yes, he's hysterical. Yes, I know. You don't have to keep reminding me. Try living with him and you'll see how funny he actually is!

2. He comments corny sayings on your friends' Facebook pictures

Usually, this ranges from "What's in those red solo cups?" to "Clique, clique, clique." When you get that Facebook notification you know it can't be good.

3. Your friends have a nickname for him

This usually has to do with something drinking-related (Arty the Party) which further emphasizes how much your friends think he is cooler than you. Great.

4. He gives you money even if you say you don’t need it

I mean... if you insist...

5. He always wants to hang out

Bowling? No. Go-carts? No. What do you want to do? How about lay down?

6. He tries to be “hip”

"Teach me how to Bitmoji."

7. He knows someone EVERYWHERE you go

It gets to the point where you can't go out to eat without seeing someone he knows, which leads to a half hour conversation. Don't you just love being introduced to 10 strangers in one week?

8. He is the best person to joke around with

You can always count on a good time when it's just you and your dad. From jokes to pranks, you always have a friend by your side.

9. He asks who you're hanging out with, even though you know he doesn't know them

Because saying that they're from school isn't good enough, he needs the first and last name in order for him to say, "I don't know them." That's why I said you wouldn't know them in the first place!

10. You wouldn’t trade him for the world

I love you, Dad.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

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.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
