Leslie Knope is one of the most relatable characters of all time, especially for college students. We all have a little bit of Leslie in us, whether it's socially awkward Leslie, best friend Leslie, or hardworking Leslie.

Here are 23 times when Leslie Knope was actually just a college student trying to survive.

1. When you don't have your coffee before your 8 a.m...

Get hyped!

3. When you actually go to bed before 2 a.m...

Maybe we shouldn't have gone out the night before an 8:30?

5. When you are giving a presentation in the class with the cute TA...

Quiet hours? Never heard of them.

7. When you're pleading with your professor to curve your exam grade...

Yes, you still have to beg when the class average was a 52%. Why? No one knows.

8. When you're sick but your professor takes attendance as part of your final grade...

Gotta get to class...

9. When your boyfriend and his roommate go out together...

You trust him not to do anything too stupid, but it's always good to have someone watching just to make absolutely sure.

10. When you have been studying at the library all day and you finally leave...

Freedom!

11. When it's Friday...

It feels like this every single Friday.

12. When it's the last week of school and you can't stand the dining hall food anymore...


I couldn't have eaten one more chicken finger last semester even if I tried.

13. When the person next to you gets way too into the lecture and you're just trying to survive it...

If you're not falling asleep, you're just majorly irritated.

14. When you actually didn't fail all your midterms...

Woo! All that studying paid off.

15. When you see the communal bathroom toilet hasn't been flushed...

EW.

16. When Calc I has you struggling...


Math is stupid and everyone knows it.

17. When your roommate is mad at you...

So what you left all your dirty laundry on her bed...?

18. When you're trying to study but your phone is going off nonstop...

Stop texting me!

19. When your best friend is degrading themselves but you know they're amazing...


True besties aren't afraid of a little tough love.

20. When course and instructor evaluations come around and you hated your professor...

Trying to be polite in these is possibly the hardest part of college.

21. When you know that your roommate is about to make a very bad decision...

Oh no... Save her!

22. When you get an "A" in a course...

So excited to start paying off those loans!

"There's nothing we can't do if we work hard, never sleep, and shirk all other responsibilities in our lives." -Leslie Knope

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
