Maybe it's the week from hell with all the tests, or maybe you feel like you can finally breathe this week after last week, or maybe you're dreading the week to come — either way, we all need some "Parks and Rec." I speak with no overexaggerating when I say that "Parks and Rec" is the best show in the whole world, and that everyone needs to watch it. We all need a Leslie Knope, Ron Swanson, and an Andy Dwyer to get us through life's challenges. Below are some of the greatest quotes that we all need to hear this week.

1. "I'll live the way I live, I'll eat the way I eat, and I'll die the way I die" — Ron Swanson  

Sometimes you just gotta do you. It might be test week and you might feel out of control of your life, but sometimes you just gotta channel your inner Ron and tell 'em who's boss.

2. "Food is for eating, places are for eating. End of discussion" — Ron Swanson 

Sometimes you need to remember that life is just life and keep things in perspective.

3. "From now on, everyone call me Kristen because I'm Wigging out right now" — Craig 

You should add this pun immediately to your responses when you look at your workload for the next week. It's a winner.

4. "Blueprints for the future are a fool's errand" — Ron Swanson  

We can plan all we want, but God has his own plans for our lives and sometimes you just gotta live in the moment and remember to enjoy every day as it comes.

5. "Gasp, butter is my favorite food" — Andy Dwyer 

Can I get a retweet?

6. "Keep your tears in your eyes where they belong" — Ron Swanson 

Sometimes we need a Ron to remind us to keep our crap together and just push on. Whatever's bothering you this week, just keep going.

7. "When life gives you lemons sell some of your grandma's jewelry and go clubbing" — Jean Ralphio

Jean Ralphio is my spirit animal and honestly is such a mood. Although his life might not be one to model and his quotes might not be the smartest, they're definitely a good laugh and keep things in life light—which we all need some more of.

I hope these quotes made you smile and laugh. Life can get tough sometimes and there's a lot going on, but remember to take time to laugh and smile and watch "Parks and Rec." Always "Parks and Rec."

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

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.
