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.

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.
