15 Things My Father Taught Me Without Realizing

I know everyone says this but I am 10000% sure that my dad is the best in the world. He's taught me so much in my years in this crazy world. He's got a story for pretty much every situation I've ever been in and he supports me in everything.

He's passionate about the things that I am passionate about and helps me accomplish my goals to the best of his abilities.

Aside from physically teaching me how to do things, like what a good car sounds like, how to defend myself, or how to fix a leak, he's taught me so many things in life without knowing it.

Love you dad! Very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very much!

1. Ford is waaay better than Chevy!

Guys have emotions too.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
