10 Songs On Leslie Knope's Dance Party Spotify Playlist
Huffington Post

As I was thinking about a topic to write about this week, I found an article by a fellow Odyssey writer that listed several article topics help with writer's block. One option was "What songs are on your favorite fictional character's playlist?" which combine two things I love: fictional characters and making playlists.

One of my favorite TV shows is “Parks and Rec.” I’m sure all “Parks and Rec” fans would agree: Leslie Knope is an inspiration. She is determined and never takes no for an answer. She has no time for misogyny and is basically who I want to be when I grow up. So here’s my version of Leslie's favorite dance party playlist.

1. Run The World (Girls) - Beyonce


Because Leslie knows who really runs the world.

2. Wannabe - Spice Girls


I feel like Leslie would know every single word of this song.

3. Everything's Gonna Be Alright - Mike Mains & The Branches


Because Leslie ALWAYS has a positive attitude.


4. Boom Clap - Charli XCX

This would definitely be Leslie's car jam.


This would definitely be Leslie's car jam.

5. I Would Walk 500 Miles - Kenny And The Scots


Because Leslie always gives 100%.

6. Roar - Katy Perry

This would definitely be the Pawnee Goddesses anthem.


This would definitely be the Pawnee Goddesses anthem.

7. Brave - Sara Bareilles


I think Leslie was Sara Bareilles' inspiration for this song tbh.

8. Home - Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros

I like to think Leslie and Ben have these lyrics hung up somewhere in their house.

9. Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison

What Leslie listens to when she's missing Ann.

10. Walking on Sunshine - Katrina and The Waves

Because Leslie is literal sunshine.

You are not alone.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
