The Most Amazing Men Are Often Our Fathers

Thank you dad for everything.

The Most Amazing Men Are Often Our Fathers
Meghan Horrell

Daughters its time to thank our fathers; personally, my dad is the greatest role model, and teacher that I have been blessed to have in my life. I am definitely a "daddy's" girl (even though he never let my siblings and I call him that), and am extremely thankful to be. My dad is the greatest human being for he is caring, hardworking, and allowed me to experience all of the things that I love in life. I could not be more thankful to have a father as great as him for he has put up with numerous weekends of softball, and given me and my family everything, and so much more. He's taught me to be an independent woman, and to be as genuine as I possibly can be. Throughout my years at home, I have always found my self spending more time with my brother Jack, and my dad; I had been a bit of a tomboy when I was little. The time(s) I have spent with both of these role models has helped to shape me into I am, but has been nothing but enjoyable.

As I had grown up from an immature little girl until my current age of 18, I have learned who I want to be, but I don't think that I could be the person who I am today without the guidance from my dad. I remember one night after a softball game, and a time where my life had not been so great my dad had said something to me that I hope to never forget: "Just remember Meg that honey is always more attractive than vinegar." This saying has stuck with me, and constantly reminds me to be true to myself always, and to be a genuinely good human.

This article is targeted for daughters who appreciate their dad just as much as I do, but also for those who find themselves struggling to have a relationship with their fathers. I cannot remember a time where I have really fought with my dad, and I am extremely thankful to have a great functioning relationship with him. I really would like to express that for any girl having problems with their parents to acknowledge who they are, and what they have done for you. Honestly, I could not image what kind of woman I would be without the lessons received by my dad; I really urge you all to attempt to connect with your fathers because one day you will regret that loss deeply.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
