The People In College Seen Through 'Parks And Rec' Characters

Although it may seem like colleges kids wouldn't have people in their life similar to those who work in the Parks and Recreation Department in Pawnee, Indiana, it is pretty accurate and applicable to the college scene.

1. Ron Swanson

Ron is that guy: super quiet kid in your math section. He never speaks and lord knows he doesn't want to. You can also feel him silently judging you no matter how far away you are, or how close to the door he is. Then, you see him on the weekend downing an entire bottle of whiskey in the quad and you are like ???


2. Tom Haverford

Tom is that guy in your hall who thinks he has way more swag than he actually does. He is always talking about all the babes he is getting and all the cool new clothes he has. But in actuality, everyone in your entryway knows he's a sham.

3. April Ludgate

April is your roommate who hates your guts.Then at the end of the year, she cries when you are moving out.


4. Ben Wyatt

Ben is that kid from freshman fall who you thought was super weird but ended up being one of your best friends by your senior year...and you secretly bond over your love of calzones.

5. Andy Dwyer

Andy is that guy you met once around campus and now see in the most random places doing the most random things. You see him in the Science Center at 1 am eating a grilled cheese, and then a week later doing a pset outside while it is snowing.


6. Chris Traeger

Chris is your way too overenthusiastic TF who tries to get everyone excited for the next pset. Please Chris, we are not excited.


7. Ann Perkins

Ann Perkins is that one friend you aren't really sure how you became friends with because you are complete opposites in every way possible but you are so thankful that you are. And then you remember it's because of all the fun you two have together on the weekends.


8. Leslie Knope

Leslie is that girl who sends out way too many enthusiastic emails to your dorm to join various clubs and do random things. But hey, good for her for having some school spirit.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
