20 Signs You’re The Leslie Knope Of Your Friend Group

You know how you have that one friend that you can count on for different things? Like you have that one friend who’s always up-to-date on pop culture, following all fandoms from One Direction to "Orange is the New Black." Or that one friend who would gladly make an ice cream run with you at 2 a.m., or go on a road trip on a whim with no destination in sight. But, what about that one special friend? One who is part of a rare breed, a friend to end all friends. She’s like a mixture of your mom, your sister and best friend all in one with guarantees of endless waffles and hugs. She’s your Leslie Knope. There’s a couple of ways to identify this kind of friend, and even you yourself could be that friend! After all, everyone has a little bit of Leslie Knope in them. But what constitutes as holding the honorable title of Leslie Knope in your group of friends, you may ask?

1. You are the one to always have your priorities in order.

2. Whenever picking a restaurant, you tend to favor diners and iHop because you know that breakfast is not only the most important meal of the day, but should be the only meal ever.

3. You’re a goddamn feminist and aren’t afraid to show it.

4. You know the acceptable way to attract a man without abandoning your morals.

5. When your friend is going through a breakup, you know how to help her through it by sharing your own romantic blunders.

6. You are the one who always packs the essentials for any emergency situation.

7. You make every moment a scrapbooking occasion.

8. You take gift-giving to a whole new level.

9. Sometimes you just need to check-in with yourself.

10. You’re a pro when it comes to dealing out compliments, especially about your BFF.

11. But being wise with words means you can hull out an insult if you need to, so people should think twice before messing with you!

12. You aren’t responsible for any of your actions especially when those you care about are on the line.

13. You’re known to be pretty stubborn.

14. You’re so passionate about so many things, that you often force others to see their greatness as well, whether they like it or not.

15. You don’t just work at school or at the office. You’re also known to slay the catwalk.

16. You’re often in awe of your own amazingness.

17. You’re uber confident, but always need reassurance from your friends that you are actually as incredible as you think (which you clearly are).

18. Your organizational skills are always on point.

19. You can’t stand the idea of someone being mad at you.

20. And finally, you have memorized the unspoken rules of friendship by heart.


Thank goodness for Leslie Knope. Thank and share this with the Leslie Knopes in your life. Knope out!

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
