There's so much to learn from the brilliant Amy Poehler. From hilarious comebacks to wise life advice, she always knows what to say. Whether it's Leslie Knope, Angie, the cool mom or Amy herself giving the pointers, it's all good stuff. Have a laugh at some of her quotes while taking everything she says to heart and applying it to your own life. It's for your own good.

1. Take risks.

A life without risks sounds kind of boring when you think about it.

2. Have good comebacks.


Nice one.

3. Be an inspiration.

There's no shame in that.

4. Apologize and admit your mistakes.



It takes a lot to confess when you're wrong, but everyone (and every purse) is better off when you do.

5. Don't put others down.

It makes sense.

6. Be the cool mom.


Provide snacks and whatever else might be needed.

7. Be silly.

That's a relief, because I'm already there.

8. Stand firm in what you believe in.

Some people just aren't made to enjoy salad.

9. Dance without being embarrassed.

This is good news to anyone.

10. Don't be afraid to ask for help.

Even Leslie Knope isn't always all right.

11. Have confidence.


A.K.A. fake it 'til you make it.

12. Put your friends first.


13. Don't be afraid to be "too much."

Because that's what is going to get the job done.

14. Have fun, because:

True.

15. Remember what's important in life ...


... whatever that may be to you.

16. Compliment people.

There's no compliment like a Leslie compliment.

17. Don't be afraid to try bizarre outfits.




18. But, also, dress to impress.

Personally, I dress to impress myself.

19. Love yourself the way you are.

Well put.

20. Be conscious of who you surround yourself with.

Seems simple enough.

21. Stay optimistic.

You can turn everything around to be better than it seems.

22. Know that you can do anything you're willing to work for.

The working for it is the hard part.

23. Do, do, do!


If all you did was live by Amy's many quotes, I'd say you'd be pretty well-off. Everyone should watch her hilarious shows and movies like "Parks and Recreation," "Baby Mama," "Sisters," "SNL," "Blades of Glory," "Inside Out," and "Mean Girls" to get more hilarious but meaningful life advice. She even has her own book called "Yes, Please," so there's plenty of Amy to go around. Girls need to see that being smart is underrated. Amy has so many opinions on so many different topics and they're all great for young girls looking for a role model. I know at least one person that looks up to her.

Knope out. *drops mic*

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.
