Constantly have that itch to discuss free college and the minimum wage? Counting down the days until January 14? Meanwhile your friends are "oooing and ahhing" over the potential Kourtney Kardashian and Justin Bieber hookup and all you want to do is run home to know if Bernie Sanders has caught up to Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire. This is a pretty clear sign you have become "the political nerd" in your group of friends.

Welcome! It's a great place to be. Us political nerds eat, sleep and breathe politics. We live for the debates, love a good scandal and believe that our voice can make a difference.

Think you're one of us? Check out this list and see where you match up.

1. When you're out with friends, your phone pings with updates from CNN.

2. All of your conversations turn into heated political debates.

3. Everyone is talking about the "first photo" of Saint West, and you haven't seen it. What you have seen is Ben and Jerry's new ice cream flavor that is dedicated to Bernie Sanders.

4. You ask if anyone saw the debate last night, and one of your friends says, "There was a debate last night?" And your body fills up with an uncontainable rage.

5. Your paycheck comes, and it goes straight towards a Trump hat, Hillary scrunchy, or a Jeb! T-shirt.

6. Your nights are absorbed by Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher and/or Trevor Noah.

7. Many of your conversations start like this:

You: Did you see ___ politician on ___ show last night?

Friend: No.

You: WHAT? How did you not see that?

8. You then tell him/her what they missed, how great it was, and why it is so important that they go back and watch it right away.

9. Proud of it or not, you have participated in at least one Facebook fight over a political disagreement.

10. Your personal Facebook and Twitter are filled with posts representing your own political beliefs.

11. In the comments on those posts, you are guilty of trying to turn your friends on to your side.

12. Debate night for you is like Christmas.

13. You follow at least one presidential candidate on Snapchat.

14. Face the Nation is your Sunday ritual.

15. You have a favorite reporter that you watch habitually.

16. You have a secret crush on that one, special politician.

17. The West Wing, Madame Secretary and Scandal are your favorite shows.

18. Someday you will be (not hope to be, but will be) Olivia Pope.

19. In your political science classes, you are the annoying kid in class that talks too much.

20. Leslie Knope is your soul sister.

21. Your friends that oppose your political views are truly your best friends, because all you do all day long is tell each other why they're insane, crazy, and out of their minds. But at the end of the day, you love them anyway.

22. You have been to Washington D.C. and taken a selfie in front of the White House.
