College As Told By The Cast Of 'Parks and Recreation'

"We have to remember what’s important in life: friends, waffle and work. Or waffles, friends, work. But work has to come third." -- Leslie Knope

College As Told By The Cast Of 'Parks and Recreation'

You have to admit, it's pretty hard to hate the show "Parks and Rec," just like it's hard to hate college. College is a time filled with some pretty funny experiences, that in the end, leave a lot of room for growth and great memories.

Though people experience college differently all over the world, from the good times, to midterms, to dealing with the stress of hearing the constant buzz over the election, everyone can relate to these typical thoughts of a college student as told by Leslie Knope and your favorite Pawnee Parks Department from "Parks and Recreation."

1. When someone tells you that a class won't be a lot of work


2. When you realize you're bad at adulting because all you ever wear is Nike shorts and t-shirts

But really, what other time in your life can you dress for comfort every day and not be judged?

3. When your alarm goes off for your 8 am and you contemplate why you're doing life

Who thought it was a good idea to try and get classes that early every day? Oh right...you did.

4. When you know you should exercise to avoid the freshman fifteen but it's just SO hard

5. When the only thing everyone is talking about is politics and you just need a break from it all

Because literally every other post on Facebook is yet another rant, am I right?

6. When you have way too much work, not enough time to finish, and no plan to get it done

We've all been there...no shame.

7. When the professor is talking and you understand zero of the words coming out of his mouth

8. When you finally get to collapse in bed after a long night out

9. When it's one of those days and you have no motivation to actually do your homework

10. When the line for Starbucks is 3 miles long and you need your coffee before class

11. When the stress of midterms and college in general starts getting to you

Your friends are always there to keep you on track or take super fun study breaks with you.

12. But, you realize Thanksgiving break is right around the corner and you'll actually get real HOMEMADE food

13. And, even better, you'll get to be reunited with your best friends

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
