Laughable and easy to relate to.

15 Times Parks And Rec Related To College
Wikipedia

If you've never seen "Parks and Recreation," a comedy show produced by NBC, I highly suggest you watch it. Not only will it literally make you laugh so hard, it also is easy to relate to. (You know you couldn't say it normally). In a matter of seconds I can go from being Leslie Knope to Andy Dwyer, Chris Traeger to April Ludgate, and lets not forget about our Jerry moments –– or is it Garry. Oh wait, maybe Larry?

 

I started watching the show, and it didn’t take long to get hooked. I made it through all seven seasons (thanks Hulu for having them) in one week. As the episodes progressed, I found myself realizing the deeper connection I was having with the show.

 

So here are 15 times "Parks and Recreation" related to college:

 

1. Realizing you have no idea how to cook

 

Ahh dorm life is great. OK, maybe not so much, but it did mean trial and error learning to cook food for yourself.

 

2. The truth about caring for others

 

High school has “high school drama,” but when you get to college you realize your tolerance is gone for others.

 

3. When someone asks you "how's college going?"

 

4. Breaking the freshman 15 and sophomore 20 stereotype

 

Is a spring break body really worth dying everyday on the treadmill?

 

5. Sleep deprivation

 

Say goodbye to your 10 hours of sleep every night. Whether it is from your roommate coming in late at night, the amount of work you have to do or the parties you attend, in general, you are going to be very sleep deprived.

6. Those miraculous nights you get more sleep

 

Nights you can go to bed early are rare, and your body questions what it is supposed to do with all the extra sleep.

 

7. The big epiphany

 

Well said April, Well said.

 

10. Unwinding during the weekends

 

For the most part, everyone looks forward to the weekend. The weekend is the time to drown their stress and put the week behind them with the help of their good ol’ friend: Alcohol.

 

12. Cold mornings

 

Putting on every possible piece of clothing you own for your 8 a.m. walk to class when the wind is blowing over 20 mph while it is 32 degrees outside –– Yay.

 

13. Being broke

 

Bring on those texts to your parents begging for money. It doesn't matter how much you saved up, somehow your money is sucked away and you're broke.

14. Figuring out how to take care of yourself

Where's my mom when I need her?

15. Faking it until you make it

Whether you have personally watched all seven seasons totaling 125 episodes not to mention the blooper reels, or not, "Parks and Recreation" is a show that has many underlying relatable moments.

 

Take the time to treat yo Self to a few episodes.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

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. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
