10 Times Parks And Recreation Perfectly Described Your College Career
Netflix Life

Oh college...It was the best of times, it was the worst of times (cue exams, the lack of air conditioning, and drama with your significant other). However, few things can describe college living like a good old episode of Parks and Recreation can.

When the “chicken parmesan” in the cafeteria tastes more like warm Play-Dough.

When exam time rolls around and you realize you have roughly 72 hours to get all your ducks in a row.

When you’re forced to play the role of matchmaker in the weeks preceding your sorority’s formal.

When an exam felt strangely easy (and you don’t know if it’s because you completely bombed it, or passed it with flying colors).

When things begin to go south between you and your man.

When you finally mail the letter you’ve been meaning to mail to your great Aunt Kathy since the first week of school.

When the guy in your Spanish class, who you’ve been staring at all semester, finally makes eye contact with you.

When you absolutely must save your friend from the creepy guy at the bar and absolutely nothing will stand in your way.

When you unnecessarily start a fight with another girl while waiting in line for the frat house bathroom.

When your parents are leaving from Parent’s Weekend and you’re worried you didn’t establish yourself as academically rigorous, well-balanced, and put-together.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
