Parks And Rec Characters We All Identify With

If you're familiar with the show "Parks and Recreation," you'll know that the characters are some of the funniest yet oddly relatable characters that have ever existed across all of television. Okay, maybe that's a slight exaggeration, but my point holds. Chances are, you relate to one or more of the characters, starting with:

Chris Traeger

Yeah, the only thing I'm sure of is that I have no idea what my future holds. Let's just hope the money I'm forking out on my degree is worth it.

As long as I don't take time to stop and think, I can avoid having an existential crisis.

Typically, the nights that I actually have time to sleep are the nights that sleep just won't come. Did I finish all my homework? Have I replied to all my emails?

April Ludgate

As April depicts here, it is so much easier not to do things than to do them. Who wouldn't you like to spend the day in bed, not being haunted by your responsibilities?

Sometimes it's just so draining to deal with other people.

How do you even adult? More importantly, why would you want to? Everything is so stressful.

Ann Perkins

Sometimes speaking English that makes sense to another human being is just beyond our capabilities. I mean, I know what I'm trying to say.

I hate everything about it -- sweating, cramps, shin splints, increased breathing, the self-consciousness that comes with jogging by another person -- no, thank you.

Um, this is me every time someone says "no offense." You wouldn't be saying "no offense" if you really thought what you were saying wasn't offensive; at least own up to the rudeness of your rude comment.

Andy Dwyer

Little known fact: when I was a kid, I used to eat butter pats by themselves, like candy. Disgusting; but butter does make pretty much everything taste better.

It is a universally acknowledged truth that none of us actually have any idea of what we are doing. We all just fake it till we make it. That is how you become a "successful adult."

We all encounter social situations where it seems like we know next to nothing compared to the other people there. Again, I recommend faking it til you make it.

Donna Meagle

Some people genuinely enjoy being single or, not being in committed relationships. Where all my single ladies at?

We all get those moments when we have to remind someone to stay in their lane. Sometimes, being direct is the best way to shut it down.

That moment when you were right, but you said you wouldn't say "I told you so."

Ron Swanson

Because BACON.

We've all got our own problems to deal with before considering everyone else's problems.

This. It's better to do two things well than do two dozen things poorly.

Tom Haverford

I have no problem admitting that I know pretty much nothing about sports. At all.

Sometimes I close Instagram and then, without thinking, immediately open it back up again, without even realizing what I'm doing. It's kind of a problem.

As a broke college student who has next to no money, whenever I do have cash it is a wonderful feeling that borders on euphoria.

Jerry Gergich

Comic Sans was the font of my childhood and has been transformed by pop culture (rightly so) into a font that people only use when they're being ironic. Rest in peace, Comic Sans. You had a good run.

It's true. I actually asked for socks last Christmas. This is what it's really like to be an adult, I guess.

You wouldn't think this would be that relatable, but it somehow is. I'll leave it at that.

Ben Wyatt

We all have days where we are human disasters. My motivational quote last week was genuinely, "Remember, you're not a garbage can't, you're a garbage can." Yeah.

Sometimes you just have to make a face at someone's back to get it out of your system.

Sometimes I can't even believe that someone could be so wrong.

Leslie Knope

I've often heard about the importance of self-motivating, and self-inspiring doesn't seem that far off.

I mean, right??

It's good to remember your worth in relation to other people. I try to make an effort to be mindful of that in my daily life (without crossing the gap to narcissism).

If you haven't watched "Parks and Recreation" yet, you need to. It's on Netflix, so add it to your binge-watch list. It's well worth your time.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
