My dad always told me that tardiness is unacceptable. It may not be cool, but it's a good trait and habit that I've learned to keep throughout the years. —Steph, Art Director

My dad's a history buff and he has a really good memory so I learn so much random, useful stuff from him. I can't really pinpoint one thing, but I guess the best thing I learned from him is the value of reading and how much more interesting life can be by knowing a lot of things about the world around you. :) —Angel, Associate Features Editor

My dad was way cooler than me. He got me into listening to Phoenix and watching Arrested Development when they first came out. He was the funniest guy ever and I got my sense of humor from him. —Sam, Associate Fashion Editor
