16 Signs "Parks and Recreation" Has Taken Over Your Life

Parks and Recreation is one of those television shows that you think you are only going to watch one episode of, but the next thing you know, you are one season in and the show has become your entire life. For those of you that that has happened to, I am here for you because it has happened to me as well. Here are some signs that Parks and Recreation has definitely gotten to you.


1. The word literally has become a staple in your vocabulary and you tend to say it the same way Chris Trager does, you know, when you really pronounce the "t's."

2. "Ovaries before brovaries" becomes one of your favorite things to say.

3. You develop some rockstar dance moves courtesy of the one and only Leslie Knope.

4. Treat Yourself is your favorite day of the year.

5. You finally feel comfortable to be the food lover you really are. Whether that means stuffing your face with breakfast food or eating all of the meat a restaurant has in their kitchen.

6. April becomes your spirit animal.

7. You realize even the coldest people can be warm and cuddly.

8. You hope to one day have a relationship half as great as Andy and April's.

9. You feel you have a friend to talk to when you are having an "I hate everyone" kind of day.

10. On your toughest days, you remind yourself that nothing could be as worse as when Chris Trager thinks his immune system is shutting down.

11. You tell your friends that it's okay that you don't run because neither does Ann Perkins and she is perfect.

12. You hope to one day have at least half of Donna Meagle's attitude.

13. You have unrealistic dreams about how much you will love your future career.

14. You have perfected the Ben Wyatt "what the hell" face.

 

15. You feel personally victimized every time Jerry (or is it Terry?) gets made fun of at work; all he ever does it try his best.

16. This photo gives you all of the feels and then some.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
