Top 10 Parks And Recreation Characters

Top 10 Parks And Recreation Characters
Beta Series

Although I am late to jump on the Parks and Recreation bandwagon, I started watching it at the recommendation of my roommate and I love it. I started it less than a week ago and I've already seen five of the seven seasons. It's witty and definitely entertaining, something many sitcoms tend to lack. Anyone who has binge-watched a show knows you're always going to have favorite and least favorite characters, it's inevitable. While I don't really HATE any specific characters from Parks and Recreation, these are my personal favorites, ranked.

10. Jerry Gergich

Poor Jerry. I have nothing against him, he's just Jerry.


9. Ann Perkins

Ann is supposed to encompas the "perfect best friend" and while she does that, there's also times she kind of annoys me. She whines a lot. That grabbed her the number nine slot.


8. Donna Meagle

Donna and Tom's "treat yo self" episode was iconic, however, Donna really does lack some character development, so she couldn't really be much higher on the list.


7. Tom Haverford

Again, "treat yo self" is ICONIC. Tom is just a bit too much for me. He's always a good laugh, though.


6. Chris Traeger

I LOVE Chris Traeger. He is LITERALLY the most positive person I've ever seen, even though he isn't technically real. Bummer.


5. Andy Dwyer


We are all Andy Dwyer in one way or another. This GIF of Andy is my favorite. And if you don't like Andy, you may take a liking to Bert Macklin, FBI.


4. Ron Swanson

Ron is the bomb. Ron probably doesn't believe in lists, so his place at number four wouldn't affect him much.

3. April Ludgate

I personally identify with April Ludgate. Her dark humor and sarcasm is the freaking best. She has a lot of one liner's that, even if you haven't watched Parks and Rec, you probably know.

2. Leslie Knope

Leslie is the eccentric main character of the series. She's hilarious, relatable, and she cares for everyone around her. The only reason she didn't get the number one slot is because of...

1. Ben Wyatt

Ben is my absolute FAVORITE character in the whole freaking series. He is the most sarcastic and dramatic character in the series, but he's still the best. With a face like that, it would be hard for him to not have the number one slot.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
