Being a college student living by myself, I had experienced numerous emotion in one week, during that time (most are depressing) I don’t have anyone to actually talk to since I’m not comfortable in talking about my feelings. I don’t need pity sentimental from others, I need something to cheer me up without really opening my mouth. Well, I found just that! A tv show, a show that helps me through my miserable days as a student in college, in Washington. The show name’s Parks and Recreation.
There are many moments where this show refreshes my soul every time I’m down, but since there are too many to tell, I’ll mention just 3 most important times where my soul literally lifted up to the sky, flying with the birds, spacing out because of the satisfaction I received.
First moment: It was a long day after my Human Biology Final exam, I was so stressed out for not knowing how I did in the exam, wondering to myself if I have failed or not. Going home with my mind occupied with all the possibilities that could happen, I needed a distraction so I went to my favorite show Parks and Rec. One episode, in particular, the main characters in the show started to rant about how at this particular time, it’s time to “Treat yourself”... I loved it, it was hysterical, they showed me how I should have a day which I get to relax and the main purpose is to forget about everything, just focus on me and only me. I was literally so excited that I didn’t even notice how my grade was when it came out - I passed.
Second moment: It was another long day at college, I haven’t eaten anything the whole day. I saw the scene where Andy Dwyer (played by Chris Pratt) went back to his ex-girlfriend house, butt naked screaming out of the door: “Baby! I’m back!”. It was hysterical!!! I loved every moment that happened in that scene. All of my tensed muscle from raging on my roommate was all gone. I was finally relaxed again…
Parks and Rec have been with me for a few months and I can’t see myself living without the show being by my side, on Netflix, ready for me to watch whenever I feel sad, depressed, or even happy. I definitely encourage anyone I know to give it a try with this show and it could be life changing not only for me but for you also.
