All the good reasons Feminists need to start fighting for men's rights too.
This show is literally the best.
Parks and Recreation is one of the best shows ever made. As a college student, I went back and watched every episode again. I was astounded by how relatable this show is. I found several moments that I totally related to as a college student.
"The Office" is great, but what is your next marathon going to be?
Online TV streaming can be a tricky game. Often I find myself trying to watch different shows, but I just can't find that perfect one. This leads me to watch "The Office" for the one-hundredth time. Don't get me wrong, it is one of the best TV shows ever created, but sometimes it's time for something new. Here are six TV shows you can watch instead of rewatching "The Office":
This show is definitely a hit among "The Office" fans. This show follows the daily life of those who work in the parks and recreation office in Pawnee, Indiana. It follows the mockumentary style that so many loved in the office. This show can make you laugh one minute, but also make you cry the next. If you loved "The Office" you will love Parks and Recreation.
You might be wondering, who has not seen "Friends"? It's crazy, but some people just really are not that into this show. I promise you this though, if you love "The Office" then "Friends" will be easy for you to love. From the beginning to the end, this show will keep you addicted and wanting more.
Where to begin with "Brooklyn Nine-Nine"? This show has a little bit of everything for everyone. Like procedural cop shows? It's got a little bit of that. Like comedies like "The Office"? It's got a ton of that. Like your TV shows to have a bit of diversity and representation? "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" is one of the most inclusive shows on TV right now.
I know that animated TV is not everyone's cup of tea. However this show isn't exactly like anything else on TV. It has a big heart, and a lot of ambition, and it works. Whether it is one of the three Belcher children or Linda and Bob, this show is one of the most interesting on TV. Everyone is obsessed with the Belcher's daily life, and you should be to.
This show is a little bit different than the other ones on this list. While "Drunk History" is not completely one hundred percent accurate, it does offer some fun information while staying completely hysterical. If you are looking for something kind of educational, but also hilarious "Drunk History" is for you.
Michael Schur must know how to make great TV shows. This is his third entry on this list, and he also worked on "The Office". Did you know he was Mose, Dwight's cousin? "The Good Place" is one of the most intricate sitcoms ever made. You will be on the edge of your seat, week after week, while also laughing the entire time. The next time you are looking for a TV show, you should give it a try.
All of these TV shows are so good and so worth your time. I only hope that the next time you sit down to watch "The Office" you think, hey maybe we should try something else out? If you have not seen any of these shows, you do not know what you are missing!
It's always the right time to let your friends know how much you appreciate them
February 13th is coming just around the corner. During this season, you may be thinking about that special someone and the perfect gift to get them. However, on February 13th, we set aside romance and think about the women in our lives and ways to show our appreciation for them.
You may be thinking, what is the world is Galentine's day? Well, you can thank episode sixteen of season two of Parks and Recreation. This is the episode where Leslie gathers all of her gal pals to lunch and celebrates each of them. It's a day for ladies to celebrate ladies.
In a time where there is so much division in politics regarding women whether it be reproductive rights, equal pay, the #MeToo movement, and so on, Galentine's day is needed more than ever. It's a time to look at the ladies in your life and appreciate them for who they are, just like Valentine's day, but platonic.
Never celebrated Galentine's day or just don't know what to get your friends? Fret not! Below you will find a list of 13 ideas for you to show your friends how much you appreciate them in your life.

What better way to show your friends how much you care than by actually taking the time to write down reasons why you do? You know your friend the best. You know if this means a long drawn out letter or just a funny post-it note. Either option will show your friends some love this Galentine's day through words of affirmation.

"New Girl" features another insanely positive protagonist. Who wouldn't want to virtually hang out with Jess and the gang in 4D?
This is the show that sparked my love for sitcoms. I would never want to be a paper salesman but "The Office" tricks me into thinking I might.
"Grace and Frankie" feels like spending a weekend on the beach with your grandma. While she gets high and throws around the f bomb. Perfection.
