15 Reasons You Should Watch Parks and Recreation
NBC

Parks and Recreation is one of the funniest shows I've ever had the pleasure to watch. Lets face it you need a new show to watch on Netflix anyways and you are always looking for new ways to procrastinate that paper that's due next week, and if you aren't a procrastinator thanksgiving break is coming up pretty soon and how else would you cure that boredom? I hope that everyone gets to watch it eventually, and here's why you should.

1. As a college student, I relate to Andy on many different levels.


2. Leslie Knope


There isn't really any way to explain Leslie Knope, all I can tell you is that you have to watch the show, and appreciate that his gif is a majority of the college population trying to be positive.

3. I named my hedgehog after Leslie


This is Leslie Knope the hedgehog and I just thought you all should know that this show is good enough to name your pets after the characters. Also look how stinking cute she is.

4. Ben is the cutest thing since tea cup pigs.


I mean come on how can you not think he is the cutest thing ever?

and he is very relatable.

5. We are all April at some point in our life.


I, personally, hate almost everyone.

6. Michelle Obama was on the show, and Michelle Obama is the best.



Michelle Obama is the best thing that ever happened to this country and I agree with everything she has to say much like Leslie Knope does.

7. Chris is the most positive person on the show but we all have times when we can't be positive anymore.


This is me on a daily basis, though, to be honest.

8. Leslie is the perfect definition of a feminist.


She is all about working and making it on her own and being equal with her male counter parts.

9. Andy is the doofus in all of us.



I think we all wish we could just act like Andy all of the time and still be able to function in Society.

10. I just can't tell you enough how relatable everyone in this show is


Same Leslie Same.

11. Ron Swanson is well Ron Swanson


Ive never been good with feelings so I could not relate to this more.

12. I mean Ron Swanson


Ron Swanson is all I have to say, you should no need any other reason to watch this show if you know anything about Ron Swanson.

13. Treat Yo Self


Sometimes you just need to treat yourself, I mean who doesn't want to buy something for themselves.

14. Can we just say Leslie Knope again


I am also super chill all the time.

15. You just have to watch it!


If you don't watch it you will be sad for the rest of your days, so just watch it. we all need a break and why not fall into the netflix pit and watch all the seasons in a week.

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.
