Leslie Knope Is A Genius

Discover the reasons why Amy Poehler's character just rocks!

Leslie Knope Is A Genius

"Parks and Rec" is without a doubt one of the best sitcoms on TV today. In the story, set in the small town of Pawnee-Indiana, many unique and diverse characters can be found, like Tom, Ron, and April, among others. But, the queen is definitely the main character, Leslie Knope.

Amy Poehler gives life to a heroine that is still a human. She achieves whatever she wants to, but in her own way she struggles, fails, gets tired, etc. She is not perfect.

After watching the seven seasons of the show, I think the biggest lesson Leslie Knope teaches in "Parks and Rec" is that with passion, perseverance, having a true belief and, most of all, having a human focus, even the most impossible ideas can become a reality.

Inspired by Leslie Knope I would like to share the reasons why she is a genius:

1. She doesn't care if she looks ridiculous in order to get what she wants #noshame.

2. She knows how to deal with her feelings and she still gets the job done #brave.

3. She will always let you know what she is thinking #nomatterwhat.

4. She loves breakfast food #thebest.

5. She believes in team work #bestteam.

6. She's the friend who will always be there #bff.

7. She makes great dance moves when she feels it's right, no matter when, where or with whom #dirtydancing.


8. She makes a great team with Ben (and their dance moves are just the perfect match) #meanttobe.


9. She knows how to group party #snakejuice.

10. She talks to herself #control.

11. She loves herself #sexy.


12. She tells people she loves to f*** off when she needs to #bloodwithdrwall.

13. She just rocks! #leslieknope

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.
