There aren't enough thank you's in the world.

Today is Father's Day or any special occasion in which you are celebrated. I know that it is a special occasion, celebrating you because we do so rarely. But you should be celebrated more than rarely.

I could start off by saying thank you, but there wouldn't nearly be enough.

I know that we aren't always on the best of terms, we don't always see eye to eye, and we fight more than anything. However, with all of that being said, that doesn't change my love for you. I love you so much that it scares me to know that one day you won't always be here.

While you've always been hard on me, you've always wished the best success for me. You might be super strict but that's because you fear to lose your little girl. You've always pushed me to do my best and celebrated all of my successes. I wouldn't be the person I am today without you.

I've watched you love hard and fully, and I've watched your loss. I've been there through the riches and the poorest. We've survived all the highs and lows, together, me and you.

You've shown me what it was like to truly love someone, and you've never let me settle for less. You're always honest with me, even if its sometimes something I don't want to hear. You've taught me how to be independent, open-minded, and sincere, even if it comes back to bite you in the butt sometimes.

You've held my hand through all my failures and reminded me of how proud you are, even when it doesn't feel like it. You have always had my best interests in mind, no matter what.

No matter the case, I am always so proud to be your daughter. I am proud of the man you are, the man who raised me. I'm sorry I don't tell you enough or show how appreciative I am.

Thank you for instilling in me the importance of hard work. Thank you for teaching me to work with my hands and not to be afraid to get dirty. Thank you for never letting me think I'm not able to achieve my dreams.

But most of all, thank you for being my dad and loving me unconditionally. I know I don't say it enough, so I hope this can be a constant reminder of how proud and thankful I am for you, and also how much I love you. I promise to always be your little girl.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

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!
