True Life: April Ludgate is My Spirit Animal

If anyone is like me, binge-watching Netflix comes as a second talent. But out of all the rom-coms, medical-dramas, and docu-series, there is one show I come back to over and over again: Parks and Recreation. Yeah, it's a little dry at first and Leslie Knope makes me cringe once in a while, but the show itself has one of the most well-written scripts, not for just their main characters, but their secondary characters as well. I'm talking about Andy Dwyer, Tom Haverford, Chris Traeger, and the most under-looked character of all, April Ludgate, She is every-twenty something girl's inner spirit animal, and with every continuing season she proves exactly why.

1.She gets that your $80 bottle of pinot grigio can never out best a bottle of Barefoot. And spending even five minutes smelling it is a waste of time, and your dignity.

2. People suck, we all feel that way, and hence why we replace people with puppies.

3. When we get annoyed by people, alcohol is not the answer. It is the question, and the answer is yes.

4.Obligations to be places where we have no desire to be are BS.

5. She understands the way we act when we go out.


6. The outdoors suck...and aren't reliable when it comes to necessary Starbucks runs.

7. Work sucks too, in fact anything that doesn't involve Netflix and our beds does.

8. We don't understand the 30, 31st rule...and probably never will.

9. When we meet our person, we do actually care.

10. She is just as weird as our inner selves.

11. We bribe our siblings, and will until we die.

12. Money will always be the motivator.

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.
