17 Times "Parks And Recreation" Understood Just How Unmotivated You Are

Leslie Knope would be ashamed.

17 Times "Parks And Recreation" Understood Just How Unmotivated You Are
ABC's Parks and Recreation

Leslie Knope is the epitome of motivation. You always root for her and her team when you’re watching "Parks and Recreation." But most of the time, when you’re watching it on Netflix, it’s because you’re hiding from all your responsibilities. The struggle is real my friends and the only thing the "Parks and Rec" gang does better than work is avoiding work.

1. In college, you learn the most important lesson there is to know:


2. You have never had a more cynical outlook on life until you're overwhelmed with all the work you can't bring yourself to do.

3. Assignments, papers and projects come at you all at once. And it's just...no.


4. In class, you hear the professor talk, but all you can think about is sleep.


5. You are completely unprepared when the professor calls on you randomly.

6. And you've become an expert at reaching the minimum word count with putting as little effort in as possible.


7. You should do your homework on a Thursday night, but you realize there are more important things.



8. And why do homework on a Sunday when there's probably a "Law and Order" marathon on somewhere?

9. There is also the internal struggle of wanting to get in shape, but having zero motivation to eat healthy.

10. Or exercise.

11. Seriously, who enjoys running?


12. Finally, you do your work after you've waited until the last possible minute.

13. You'll try to put a positive spin on the matter to make it seem like everything's OK.

14. But it's not OK. It's far from OK.

15. Who says giving up isn't an option. At this point, it feels like the only option.


16. *Cue the emotional breakdown*

17. But if you somehow got a passing grade in a class where you were left clueless and guessed all the answers, don't question it. Just let it happen.

Sorority
Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.

Your Friend Group, As Told By Disney Princesses

Each Disney Princess has their own personality, and chances are you've got a friend in your group to match it.

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning. No matter how functionally dysfunctional your friend group may be, if you're anything like me, you feel absolutely blessed to have found such a wonderful group of humans to call "your people." Here is what your friend group might look like if they were Disney princesses (and that wasn't just a thing you all pretended in your heads):
