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."

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.
