Life Advice As Told By Leslie Knope

Just like every other Netflix addict, I became very amused with the show, Parks and Recreation. I learned that the starring character, Leslie Knope, has a lot of great life advice to share with the world.

Great point Leslie! No matter what direction life throws you in there's almost always a choice on whether to react in a positive or negative manner. Positivity has the power to solve a situation whereas negativity can make a bad situation worse.


With this statement, Leslie really means to solve conflict in a rational way. There are many times in life that we may butt heads with another individual but there's still a decision to be made to explain your side in an empowering way.

You can do anything! Although this quote is more humorous then most, Leslie means well by declaring that with the right mindset anything is possible.


Be goal oriented, and have passion behind that goal. Leslie was very passionate and went after every dream or belief she had. That is the way life should be lived.

Put dedication into your work. Leslie always went the extra mile for her job because she knew it would pay off. She was hardworking and inspiring.


You must always be true to yourself. Do not care what others think about you. True friends love the real you, and strangers can be affected by you.

Always love yourself first. You do not have to call yourself but remember that everything will be okay, and you must also forgive yourself.

Your personal life must always come before your work life. You can not be happy in your work life without first being happy in your personal life.

These are all great life lessons to follow so next time you're stuck in a bind just think to yourself, What Would Leslie Knope do? It will instantly make you feel better. Remember to always "Be the Leslie Knope of whatever you do".

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.
