4 Ways to Know You're the Dad Friend

Everyone has a particular role in their friend group. The overprotective mom, the drama queen, the jokester, the couch potato, the awkward dad... wait, Dad? If you don't think you're the designated dad friend in your circle of friends, this listicle may have you thinking otherwise.

1. You still think "Rickrolling" is funny.

I won't deny that this was funny when it first appeared on our Windows Vista in 2007. This meme is old, but the song is even older. Please, just give it a rest. There are more funnier, fresh memes out there to entertain yourselves with.

2. You dance like a dad at a barbecue.

When it's time to bust a move on the dance floor, you don't whip. You don't hit that Nae Nae. You don't do the Running Man. You do whatever comes up in your old-fashioned mind. Like a true dad embarrassing their daughter at a family reunion, you don't fail to embarrass your friends, either. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, unless you want to be dubbed the Dad of your group.

3. You're a walking representation of true awkwardness.

It's not like you've just been let out the bird's nest. You've been socializing for years, but you still can't seem to truly get it under your grasp. Don't worry! I just hope that awkwardness doesn't spread to your children.

4. You have way too many puns up your sleeve.

If someone were to look up your Google search history, all they'd probably find is "puns," "puns," and "more puns." Some of the puns you tell are knee slappers, but some of them are just terrible. Just wait to tell your puns at the right time.

There's nothing wrong with acting like a dad. Dads are great! But if you have yet to have children and find yourself under these four characteristics, you should probably take action. And take action fast.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
