College Told By Parks And Rec

"Sometimes, you gotta work a little so you can ball a lot." -Tom Haverford

College Told By Parks And Rec

Eccentric personalities, multiple projects happening at once, and someone who hates the government. The hit TV show Parks and Rec has more in common with the college experience than you would think.

When your group asks you to do the write-up for your project:

No Mark, I cannot do the six page write-up while you make the PowerPoint. Get back to me when our other group members decide to show up.

Sunday mornings:

Sunday scaries: coming to an apartment nearest you.

When you get your paycheck and go out on the weekend:

RICHEST PERSON ALIVE, I WILL BUY EVERYTHING okay yeah that's all of it.

When the teacher walks by your desk and you act like you were taking notes:

"Why is this situational irony? That's a great question Dr. Green. Great, great question. I'll think on it."

After a really tough exam:

Wake me up when the semester ends.

When you go out and you're single:

Ladies leave your man at home.

When someone suggests late night pizza:

Bonus points for delivery.

When you look at your texts from last night:

No. Oh no oh no oh no oh no no no.

When the book store receipt is half of your life savings:

No you're right, tuition definitely isn't high enough. We need a little somethin' extra.

When somebody's parents visit for the weekend:

You, me, Costco, now.

When the bouncer asks for your ID:

Confidence is key. Being 21 is also helpful.

Trying to tell your crush that you like them:

I like you, but not, like, A LOT. It's not a big deal.

When your Foreign Language teacher asks what words you actually know:

"I like...food. Good dog run...fast?"

When you don't understand a single thing on the board:

This is NOT what we had discussed.

When your song comes on at the bar:

This is my JAM!

Studying for your final exams before break:

Mom don't you TEMPT me with those pictures of the dog next to the fireplace.

And when you look back at your four years, you should only have one thing to say:

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.
