If 'Parks And Recreation' Characters Had College Majors

Aren't I spot on?

If 'Parks And Recreation' Characters Had College Majors

The characters on the television show, "Parks and Recreation," are diverse. They are talented in all different areas which make them unique. Some are talkers, motivated, act like sociopaths and dreamers. If Leslie Knope and the gang were in college, I believe they would have these majors:

Andy Dywer: Undecided

From shoe-shinning to being an assistant to Leslie's campaign, Andy as done it all. He is just multi-interested— in everything! There is nothing wrong with that. Sometimes it takes a few years or so to find your niche.

Tom Haverford: Business and Marketing


While Tom failed at Entertainment 720, he did build up successful companies: Rent-A-Swag and Tom's Bistro. His creative ideas and motivation make him the perfect business and marketing major.

Ann Perkins: Nursing

Ann is a gentle and kind person and usually soothes Leslie in one of her crazy times. They are great qualities for nurses.

Leslie Knope: Political Science

As an independent, dedicated and hardworking individual, Knope succeeded in her dream of being part of Pawnee's council. Her obsessiveness over the government stands out throughout the series.

Chris Traeger: Exercise Sport Science

You can find Chris always talking about excising or eating healthy. He has only 2.8 percent of body fat due to his excessive exercising and dieting.

Ben Wyatt: Communications

While Ben seems to be a shy guy, he is a great talker— if he gets a word in edgewise with Leslie.

April Ludgate: Psychology

The awkward and strange April fits perfectly as the psychology major. Sometimes you don't understand her ideas or even what she says.

Ron Swanson: Fishery and Forestry

Instead of working for the Parks Department, Ron would rather live in his secluded cabin in the woods by himself—fishing, building things out of wood and enjoying the outdoors. He hates the government—even though he works for it.

"Parks and Rec" entertain you from start to finish. From their crazy adventures to their different personalities, Leslie Knope and the gang work well together. Did you agree with my choices for their majors?

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
