12 Times You Were April Ludgate From Parks & Rec In College

For those "Parks and Rec" fans out there, you know Ms. Ludgate isn’t the most charming or optimistic of characters. She’s actually weird as hell and a little crazy -- in the best way possible. That being said, I think we can all agree that there are times in our lives, especially at college, where we feel a little bit like April.

1. That One Class With That One Professor


We all know this feeling.

2. Your Feelings About Your Roommate

You love them. You hate them. You love to hate them. But you wouldn't want to live with anyone else.

3. Going Out

"Thank you, alcohol"


4. Awkward Situations

College is full of them.

5. Class Ice Breakers

Ice Breaker. Classes are full of them. They will follow you into all of your endeavors and it's almost guaranteed that you will never be able to come up with a fun fact about yourself other than your favorite color.

6. When You Ace A Test You Didn't Study For

If this hasn't happened to you yet, I hope it does soon.

7. That Moment Called Life Where You Have To Be An Adult

College is about becoming independent and making your own decisions. And that just really isn't too fun.

8. PDA or Any Kind of Affection On Campus

If you're like April, then you hate all types of affection -- especially if it's public. The thought of someone hugging you actually makes you cringe.

9. Walking To Class

It always sucks when you have to leave your warm bed to walk to a lecture, especially since it means you have to be outdoors.

10. When You Talk About Your Hobbies

It's okay if you aren't into sports or the arts or interacting with people in general.

11. Pretending To Enjoy Dining Hall Food

We all know dining hall food sucks, but you gotta push through with sarcasm.

12. When You Find Someone Just Like You

You aren't the only April Ludgate in the world (or on campus).

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
