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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
