11 Questions College Girls Always Ask Dad, Never Mom

There are certain things that are best to go to Dad about. Here are 11!

1. CARS.

Giphy

Tires, battery, locks, you name it. If it's about cars, I ALWAYS go to dad, after all, he does know best. Just last week, actually, my car battery died and my dad helped me throughout the very traumatic process of going to the car place all by myself (not actually by myself, but still without parental supervision).

2. "What do I get for mom?"

This one should kind of be a given, but if it's a gift for Mom, I always go to Dad.

3. Fishing (or hunting if you're into that).

Giphy

Some of my favorite memories have to do with fishing, but because my mom gets seasick, it's definitely a dad thing.

4. When you're really fired up about something!

Absolutely love Moms, they're wonderful. But if you're fired up and you just need to get even more fired up because that's your current ~mood~, always go to dad.

5. Grilling questions.

Giphy

Ladies and gents, if you ever have a very very important question about grilling, take it to dad. Chances are, he's grilled once or twice in his life.

6. House problems.

If your light goes out or your toilet gets clogged or your house just really seems to be falling apart, always always call dad.

7. Moving into a new place!

100% you need the big muscles on move-in day! I remember my freshman year move-in day we had my dad and brother there, things went way faster than this past year when it was just me (in case you hadn't already guessed).

8. Curtain rods.

Kind of random, but I had this curtain rod that none of my friends could see to get up. One of my friends even tried and put 5 unused holes in my wall. Each of them tried with a hand held screwdriver and an electric one (also an electric drill I think???). Well, story time, so my dad comes in and in LESS THAN 5 MINUTES, he manages to have all three holders in the wall, the curtains on the rod, and the rod on the curtains. It's just something about dad's, I'm telling you.

9. Surprise visits!

Giphy

I distinctly remember my freshman year calling my dad on the way home and saying "hey, I'm coming home to surprise mom. Can you keep her at home?" Much to my surprise, they were not in fact at home, so it's a good thing I called Dad because I was able to catch that in the right spot!

10. Electronics issues.

If my computer breaks or my TV isn't working, or something else in my electronics-centered life gets messed up, you can bet I'm calling my Dad.

11. "I miss you!"

Cheesy, but also you should go to dad when you're missing them. Because I promise they miss you too (or at least I would hope they do).

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
