7 Reasons Leslie Knope Should Be The Next POTUS
The Odyssey

Leslie has fought for the people more than any candidate combined.


1. She's strong and presidential-esque.

Yes, Leslie is single-handedly the kindest woman out there, but she is also strong and knows how to lead! The White House would look good on her.

2. She's been fighting for the people forever.


Even as only the Deputy Parks Director, she was already reaching out to congress to make change. America needs a president that will create good relations between the executive and legislative branch, so that something could actually get done!

3. She's positive about any circumstances.

America needs someone who will stir up some morale; someone who can turn any negative situation in the right direction. Besides, who would yell at Leslie Knope?

4. She will work the hardest.


If you know Leslie, you know that she has worked so hard to get things done for the people, and she will keep getting things done until she 100 years old. We need our next leader to not talk about everything they plan to do, but someone who will do something.

5. Her compliments make you want to vote for her.


You know you've always wanted an "Ann Perkins" compliment.

6. She has killer strategy.


She takes "110%" to the next level. Her plans make you want to jump out of your seat with passion, am I right?

7. Vote for Leslie, or her boyfriend will beat you up.


While we all know that Ben is basically a pacifist, we all want a president who has a great relationship with their spouse. On the "goals" list for relationships, Ben and Leslie are in the top three for sure.

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.
