10 Reasons Why "Parks And Recreation" Is Underrated

We all remember the first show we binged on a streaming service. For many people, they were big name titles like "Breaking Bad," "Friends," or even more recent shows like "Riverdale." This may possibly be an unpopular opinion, but "Parks and Recreation" is better than "The Office." There, I said it.

The show follows a parks and recreation department in Pawnee, IN, and their antics. It could be said that Leslie Knope, an ambitious workaholic who loves government, is the main character, but the show progresses in a way where there are several different story arcs that also include the problems of the other lovable characters.

1. When Leslie was the most supportive best friend

This is only one of the few descriptive compliments Leslie has given to Ann.

2. When Leslie's campaign struggle accurately represented an average morning

The struggle is entirely too real.

3. When she took a stance on breakfast food

Truer words have never been spoken.

4. When April gave her thoughts on adulting

A.K.A. me when I save money.

5. Two words: Snake Juice

The sun shone a bit brighter the day we were given this GIF.

6. When Donna gave us these words to live by

A.K.A. me when I fail to save money.

7. When we were all Ben in a trying situation

I've lost count how many times I've done this myself.

8. Literally, any time that Chris said his literal favorite word

Chris is literally the most optimistic character I've ever watched.

9. When Andy knew how to have fun on the job

What, you don't do this at work?

10. Don't even try to tell me that Ben and Leslie aren't #couplegoals

Who knew calzones and waffles went so well together?

BRB, I'm going to go rewatch the entire series again.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
