20 Signs You’re The Leslie Knope Of Your Friend Group

You know how you have that one friend that you can count on for different things? Like you have that one friend who’s always up-to-date on pop culture, following all fandoms from One Direction to "Orange is the New Black." Or that one friend who would gladly make an ice cream run with you at 2 a.m., or go on a road trip on a whim with no destination in sight. But, what about that one special friend? One who is part of a rare breed, a friend to end all friends. She’s like a mixture of your mom, your sister and best friend all in one with guarantees of endless waffles and hugs. She’s your Leslie Knope. There’s a couple of ways to identify this kind of friend, and even you yourself could be that friend! After all, everyone has a little bit of Leslie Knope in them. But what constitutes as holding the honorable title of Leslie Knope in your group of friends, you may ask?

1. You are the one to always have your priorities in order.

2. Whenever picking a restaurant, you tend to favor diners and iHop because you know that breakfast is not only the most important meal of the day, but should be the only meal ever.

3. You’re a goddamn feminist and aren’t afraid to show it.

4. You know the acceptable way to attract a man without abandoning your morals.

5. When your friend is going through a breakup, you know how to help her through it by sharing your own romantic blunders.

6. You are the one who always packs the essentials for any emergency situation.

7. You make every moment a scrapbooking occasion.

8. You take gift-giving to a whole new level.

9. Sometimes you just need to check-in with yourself.

10. You’re a pro when it comes to dealing out compliments, especially about your BFF.

11. But being wise with words means you can hull out an insult if you need to, so people should think twice before messing with you!

12. You aren’t responsible for any of your actions especially when those you care about are on the line.

13. You’re known to be pretty stubborn.

14. You’re so passionate about so many things, that you often force others to see their greatness as well, whether they like it or not.

15. You don’t just work at school or at the office. You’re also known to slay the catwalk.

16. You’re often in awe of your own amazingness.

17. You’re uber confident, but always need reassurance from your friends that you are actually as incredible as you think (which you clearly are).

18. Your organizational skills are always on point.

19. You can’t stand the idea of someone being mad at you.

20. And finally, you have memorized the unspoken rules of friendship by heart.


Thank goodness for Leslie Knope. Thank and share this with the Leslie Knopes in your life. Knope out!

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.
