6 Times Ben And Leslie From 'Parks and Recreation' Were Relationship Goals

If you haven’t already seen the "Parks and Recreation" television series, then I strongly encourage that you drop everything that you’re doing right now, go get on Netflix (or purchase it), click on Season One, Episode One of "Parks and Recreation," and now enjoy. I hope you won’t regret it, because it’s definitely up there in the top ten best TV shows of this generation. Seven seasons later, you will finally understand why Ben and Leslie are so perfect. If you haven’t watched it yet, **this does include spoilers.** Pretty much everything that they did was relationship goals but I summed it down to only six times.

1. Their first kiss

Their first kiss was obviously one of the best. Not only because they’re the perfect couple, but he stops her in the middle of her griping to him, grabs her face and kisses her. This is one moment in their relationship that made every "Parks and Rec" fan say “Yaass!”

2. When they finally said, “I love you” and the way they do it

Ben and Leslie don’t just say “I love you” to each other; they say “I love you and I like you,” and it’s honestly one of the more precious things in life. It shows their love for each other and shows they still like each other along with the love.

3. Their continuous support for each other

At many moments in the series, there was a time when either Ben or Leslie had to make a sacrifice for one another so the other could succeed. For example, Ben gave up his job to continue his relationship with Leslie and so that she could keep her job. Another time, he gave his support for her to run for office, even if it meant that their relationship would have to temporarily be long distance and later she helped him run for congress.

4. Ben proposing to Leslie

Their proposal was simple but so perfect for them. Leslie was even so excited for it that she said yes to Ben before he even could finish his sentence. So perfect!

5. Obviously, when they got married

The episode when they finally tied the knot was one of the more special ones to me and probable every other Ben and Leslie fan. They were finally together forever after jumping through many obstacles to get there!

6. Just the way they look at each other

Anytime they look at each other, all you see is pure adoration and love. That’s one relationship goal that everyone should strive for. Find the person who will always look at you like that even when you may not be looking. I mean just look at these two!

So I still highly recommend for anyone who hasn't seen "Parks and Recreation" to take the time to try it out! It's definitely a show worth watching. It's filled with humor, good relationships and just all around greatness.

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.
