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.

Oh yea, Christmas. It’s time to take out all of the decorations and Christmas themed things that have been sitting in the attic since last year; it’s time to make a reappearance.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
