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!

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

Friends

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
