15 Times 'Parks and Rec' Accurately Described Long-Distance Friendships

So you moved for a job, or a relationship, but you never imagined long-distance friendships would be so tough. Making new friends and wading through all the preliminary friendship stuff is hard when you already have that one friend at home who can come over in their pajamas and bring you McFlurries, or knows how to have an entire conversation using mainly eyebrow expressions. Here are 15 times when "Parks and Rec" knew that the struggle was real:

1. So you did it. You packed up and said goodbye, but you still don't want to leave your person.

2. And why would you want to?They know everything about you.

You literally begin to doubt whether you'll be able to survive.

3. And when they tell you to have a good time without them and make new friends, it's an offense to your soul.

4. Because, really, on some days you don't want to be with anyone else in the entire world.

5. When they tell you that they're coming to visit, though, the whole world suddenly gets brighter.

6. Because when you're together, you come up with the best ideas...

7. ...introduce them to your new friends and try not to show partiality...

8. (which is definitely hard, considering how much you know they'll charm everyone)

9. And even when you get upset at each other, you know that face-to-face time is a precious commodity so you keep it short.

10. Because- let's be honest- you secretly know that they are the best in the history of time and space.

11. Despite the distance, your loyalty game is still fierce.

12. So when they need you, you'll convince your boss to give you work leave...

13. ....and drop copious amounts of cash on a single plane ticket.

14. Even though leaving them is traumatic to the soul every time,

15. You know it's all worth it when you finally see them again.

because no amount of distance could break you two apart.

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.
