15 Things We Actually Want To Say To Our Fathers

Because someone has to take the bugs out... and it sure isn't going to be me.

Fathers. We all have them. Some are present today, some are no longer with us. Some are here, some live elsewhere. Some we know, some we may never meet. Nonetheless, they are there. A lot of people are celebrating Father's Day with cards and gifts. But in the end, there's a few common things that everyone really wants to say to their fathers.

1. Who's going to take the bugs out of the house?


2. Who's going to fix the toilet when it's clogged?

3. Who's going to fix the sink?


4. Who's going to manage the expenses and tell us how to pay bills?

(Because no one my age truly knows what they are doing.)

5. Who's going to set up the furniture that does not (for some darn reason) come assembled?


6. Who's going to know where the passports and important documents are?


7. Who's going to know how to change the tire pressure in our bikes and cars?


8. Who's going to tell us where all the random shizzle we need is?


9. Who's going to call lawn mower? (hey, tall grass = more bugs)


10. Who's going to help with all the electronics and gadgets in the house?


11. Who's going to help pick up heavy items? (aka moving into college)


12. Who's going to be able to reach the high things when we can't?


13. Who's going to hang all the family picture frames on the walls?


14. Who's going to give us a lifetime supply of cables that somehow work in today's time and charge calculators and phones?


15. Who's going to dote on his little girl (who happens to be a college student)?

So thank you to all the Dads, Papas, Fathers, Babus, and Daddy's out there in the world. You're cooks, house guards, accountants, weight lifters, warriors (in terms of insects), and handymen all rolled into one.

P.S. Happy Fathers Day!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
