If Central PA Colleges Were Parks and Rec Characters

Recently the "three character challenge" went around Facebook and Instagram, where people would post the three fictional character that best showed off their personality. Colleges also have their own characteristics that make them unique to their students, especially in central Pennsylvania. This part of the state has the special quality of having cities, towns, and rural spaces all thrown into the same area, much like Parks and Recreation's Pawnee, Indiana. So what if the college's in central Pennsylvania were Parks and Rec characters? No worries, I've done all the work.

1. Pennsylvania State University (State College)  

Jean-Raphlio Saperstein loves a good party. Maybe a little too much.

2. Bucknell University

Council-woman Ingrid de Forest cares about the well-being of her town Egaleton as much as she loves a good quality Vineyard Vine's quarter-zip.

3. Bloomsburg University

Jerry/Gerry/Larry

4. Millersville University

Jean-Ralphio's little sister Mona-Lisa Saperstein maybe be smaller in size, but she's just as crazy.

5. Lock Haven University

April Ludgate

6. Lycoming College


Andy Dywer always tries his best at everything he does. Not always getting everything right, but we give him the benefit of the doubt anyway. Much like Lyco, Andy's loyalty keeps us coming back.

6 1/2. Penn College of Technology

Andy from the Pit

7. Franklin and Marshall College

Donna Meagle

8. Shippensburg University

Chris Traeger is always super active, never slows down, and finds it hard to live in the middle of nowhere.

9. Susquehanna University

Crazy Craig: the man who makes us questions our level of impatience and stupidity.

10. Haverford College

um...Tom. Tom Haverford.

11. Juniata College

Ben Wyatt embraces his nerdy-ness and his love of boardgames, like The Cones of Dunshire.

12. Mansfield University

It's hard not to love Lil' Sabstian.


There's plenty of colleges that have the traits of more Parks and Rec characters. Which one do you think should have the privilege of being Leslie Knope and Ron Swanson?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
