Calvin College

Throughout my senior year in high school, the hit TV show "Parks and Recreation" would keep me going. During the weekend, you would probably find me giggling at Ron Swanson's mega manly quips or Andy Dwyer's moments of oddity. Leslie Knope became an idol for me, April Ludgate made me wish for her sarcasm, and Donna Meagle taught me the importance of confidence. I could continue to go on about Jerry Gergich (whom I relate to on a spiritual level), Tom Haverford, Chris Traeger, or Ann Perkins, but I'd prefer to get on with the rest of this article in a timely manner. Without further ado, I give you the 11 most inspirational quotes of "Parks and Recreation."

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.
