You're The Ann Perkins To My Leslie Knope

To one of my very best friends whom I love more than Leslie loves waffles.

I still can't believe you've never seen Parks and Rec. Then again, you've never seen Step Brothers, so I'll let this one slide for now. We met at work and have been through some crazy shenanigans together. But just looking at you and watching your amazing personality shine throughout this last year of our friendship has made me realize that you're literally the real life version of Ann Perkins. Why you ask? Well, I will give you my straight up, honest answer. Because you're both beautiful inside and out and I have a lot of Leslie's annoying traits that you both commonly deal with. Let's face it; when I say something stupid, you're always there to shake your head and say OMG.

1. Ann keeps Leslie on the ground when her head's waaaaaaay up in the clouds, but supports her in everything she does.

2. Ann's got a sound mind that speaks realistically in every situation when everyone else has lost their noodles.

3. Ann is basically the mom of the group. She gives love when it's necessary (always) and sets people straight when they're being stupid (you know I always be actin' a fool.)

4. Ann knows Leslie's weird, but she loves her anyways and eventually embraces the concept of weirdness right alongside her.

5. Leslie gives Ann some of the most ridiculous compliments/nicknames that come straight from the heart.

6. They're each other's soulmate.

7. Ann always speaks the harsh truth that everyone is thinking but nobody says.

8. Ann will do whatever with Leslie as long as it means spending time with her...even if there's a little bit of lashing out later lol.

9. Ann dances with Leslie sooo you HAVE to go out dancing with me 'cause we're basically them as I'm currently explaining...duh...

10. You're always there for me whenever I need you. You guessed it: just like Ann.

After all I've put you through, whether it be getting hair dye on your living room floor, you holding me in your bathroom while I sob over a boy I barely know, or wasting your lunch break by driving literally everywhere looking for parking, you're still there for me. I could never thank you enough for accepting me and loving me the way that I am. You will always be my hoe.

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.
