Thank you for stepping up and taking me as your own.

I know I may not be your biological daughter, but I am thankful for you taking me in like I am. Thank you for always being there for me and always being in my business, encouraging me not to give up, pushing me harder & just being a father to me when I needed one the most.

I became part of your family, and you were another person that I could trust. I have always believed that certain people were brought into our lives for a reason, and I am blessed that the world chose you.

I feel extremely blessed to be part of your family. I feel that everyone has welcomed me as if I was meant to be there. It's amazing to know that I will always have another person in my life that will do anything for me, and have my back. I can't thank you enough for being that person.

There are so many things that you have done for me, but these are the things that I want to thank you for:

Thank you for never giving up on me.

Thank you for seeing potential in me.

Thank you for never giving up on me.

Thank you for always supporting me.

Thank you for always inviting me to family events, it really makes me feel like part of your family.

Thank you for always picking on me, I know it's your way of showing you care, and it always puts a smile on my face.

Lastly, thank you for showing me that I'm worth so much and just because my biological father didn't want me that's okay. Because I ended up getting you as a father and I'm thankful for you everyday!

Happy Father's Day!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
