Soccer is a sport loved by people world wide. Soccer brings people together, just like it brought my dad and I closer! My Dad and I share a special bond over soccer that I would not trade for anything! There are several things that I could thank him for, however here are just a few of the many...

Thank you for putting me in AYSO and starting this whole journey!

Thank you for all of the seasons that you and mom had to pack after game goodie bags…. those were the best.

Thank you for buying me my first soccer bag, I may have been a tiny 7 year old but I felt like Alex Morgan.

Thank you for never missing a game or practice.

Thank you for pushing me to the next level by encouraging me to tryout for travel.

Thank you for stepping up and coaching when necessary.

Thank you for driving me all across the state and to out of state tournaments.

Thank you for dealing with my smelly, sweaty self on the long car rides home.

Thank you for buying me all of the coolest cleats.

Thank you for pushing me no matter how frustrated I got with you.

Thank you for practicing in the backyard with me, and for taking me to the field to shoot around.

Thank you for making me strive to be the best player I could be.

Thank you for all the urgent care trips that you had to take…

Thank you for pushing me so hard that I was able to play varsity soccer all four years of high school.

Thank you for helping me to accomplish all of my soccer goals.

Thank you for being the loudest and proudest soccer dad around…. even if that did mean constantly yelling at the refs….

Thank you for all of the money you put into my soccer career.

Thank you for all of the good luck messages.

Thank you for always pushing me, no matter how hard I fought you about it…

Thank you for giving me a passion that I will have for a lifetime!

But most importantly, thank you for being the best soccer dad you could be. Without you I wouldn’t be who I am today! I will forever be thankful for the bond that we share over soccer. I will always cherish all of the memories we have that developed because of soccer, and all of the future memories to come. I love you so much!

Thank you again, Dad!

Love,

Daddy’s little soccer princess

Happy Father's Day 2016, Dad! I love you!

xoxo, Nicole

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
