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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
