How To Handle Stress As Told By Leslie Knope

Step 1. Don't Freak Out.

Freaking out never helps and only makes matters worse. You know this. You are a beautiful tropical fish.

Step 2: Stay Organized.

You have an arsenal of coping strategies and organizational tools that will get you through this. (I’m mainly talking about that binder you have in your back pack that controls the world). Read it, listen to it, love it.

Step 3: Eat.

Feed your brain and your belly to keep you going. Waffles are always a good option!

Step 4: Don't get cranky.

Be nice, no one is intentionally trying to ruin your day by making more stressed out, I promise. Go eat another waffle.

Step 5: Give a compliment.

*Correction: Give a Knope compliment. Your friends, mom, professor, or even that random kid you always see walking to class will love this. Say something so overly nice / borderline creepy that they won't know what to do but smile and feel love.

Step 6: Let loose a little.

It's Friday night, you're already not working on your to-do list by wandering around the Odyssey. Just go out with your friends already! Always remember: people are more important than things.

Step 7: Keep yourself inspired.

Sometimes you just have to remind yourself of why you are doing the things that are causing stress in your life. It'll all be worth it in the long run! Hey, you might even get to high five Michelle Obama!

Step 8: Work really hard.

Procrastination is inevitable. But when you do decide to get your stuff done, work really hard to make it really great. I'm talking Leslie Knope caliber.

Step 9: Go out and have a drink with your friends.

A bottle of wine can work wonders.

Step 10: Be Leslie Knope.

It's that simple.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
