10 Introductory College Courses And How They'd Change If Taught By The Pawnee, IN 'Parks And Rec' Department

My latest Netflix binge has consisted of NBC's "Parks and Recreation," and I have to say it's currently sitting at one of my favorite shows. It's hard not to love the relationships between the residents of Pawnee, and I think it'd make for an entertaining educational environment. What if they taught our college classes?

1. Public Administration: Leslie Knope

Giphy

Who needs a company-issued textbook? Leslie would definitely make her own in binder format, and you'd learn everything you'll never need to know.

2. Fashion Marketing: Tom Haverford

Giphy

Tom knows everything there is to know when it comes to fashion. He even had his own store, Rent-A-Swag, so he also knows the business side of it.

3. United States History: Ron Swanson

Giphy

Ron may not be overly excited about government, but he does love his guns, grilling food, hard work, teaching people to live off the land and lots of bacon. That's basically everything Americans are supposed to stand for.

4. Art Appreciation: Garry Gergich

Giphy

This man can make anything sound positive, even Comic Sans, and honestly, he had the best idea for the new mural.

5. Trend Forecasting: Donna Meagle

Giphy

Donna is the fun-loving, fashion-forward sass queen that everyone needs in their lives. She's all about what's in and what's next, but she's also business savvy. She helped Tom find property for his restaurant, and she's not one to turn down a shopping trip.

6. Acting: April Ludgate

Giphy

April may act like she never cares about anything, but we all know that deep down, she does, even if just a little. Her and Andy's antics never fail to make us laugh, though, especially when it comes to Janet Snakehole and Burt Macklin: FBI.

7. Rock 'n Roll Appreciation: Andy Dwyer

Giphy

He may have lost his way for awhile, but he's always been one to appreciate the classics. As the lead singer of Pawnee's greatest band, MouseRat, he'd definitely be down to teach the youth about music. He even helped Ben with a music charity through Sweetums.

8. Therapeutic Communication in Nursing: Ann Perkins

Giphy

A good nurse knows how to care for their patients, but a great nurse also knows how to talk to them. Ann was a lovable ray of sunshine who was kind to even her meanest patients *cough cough April*.

9. Tabletop Games and Leadership: Ben Wyatt

Giphy

Ladies and gentlemen, it's the Architect himself, Ben Wyatt. The creator of " Cones of Dunshire" would pretty much be over the moon if he got to teach it in a class.

10. Nutrition for Sports and Fitness: Chris Traeger

Giphy

This is literally the greatest idea he's ever had, and if you didn't read that in his voice, shame on you.

As a member of Miami University Fashion and Design, I'd be running to sign up for Tom and Donna's classes, but I'd definitely take classes with anyone in the Parks and Rec department any day. Should Pawnee's local college ever need more professors, I think they'll know where to look.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
