16 Signs "Parks and Recreation" Has Taken Over Your Life

Parks and Recreation is one of those television shows that you think you are only going to watch one episode of, but the next thing you know, you are one season in and the show has become your entire life. For those of you that that has happened to, I am here for you because it has happened to me as well. Here are some signs that Parks and Recreation has definitely gotten to you.


1. The word literally has become a staple in your vocabulary and you tend to say it the same way Chris Trager does, you know, when you really pronounce the "t's."

2. "Ovaries before brovaries" becomes one of your favorite things to say.

3. You develop some rockstar dance moves courtesy of the one and only Leslie Knope.

4. Treat Yourself is your favorite day of the year.

5. You finally feel comfortable to be the food lover you really are. Whether that means stuffing your face with breakfast food or eating all of the meat a restaurant has in their kitchen.

6. April becomes your spirit animal.

7. You realize even the coldest people can be warm and cuddly.

8. You hope to one day have a relationship half as great as Andy and April's.

9. You feel you have a friend to talk to when you are having an "I hate everyone" kind of day.

10. On your toughest days, you remind yourself that nothing could be as worse as when Chris Trager thinks his immune system is shutting down.

11. You tell your friends that it's okay that you don't run because neither does Ann Perkins and she is perfect.

12. You hope to one day have at least half of Donna Meagle's attitude.

13. You have unrealistic dreams about how much you will love your future career.

14. You have perfected the Ben Wyatt "what the hell" face.

 

15. You feel personally victimized every time Jerry (or is it Terry?) gets made fun of at work; all he ever does it try his best.

16. This photo gives you all of the feels and then some.

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.
