Parks and Recreation | YouTube

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.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
