10 Of The Best Moments From Parks and Rec

Lit-rally the best.

10 Of The Best Moments From Parks and Rec
NBC

Parks and Recreation (n.): the best show to ever exist. It's got the best characters, the funniest plot, and the driest humor EVER--basically, a show that all college students need in their lives. And if you have a Netflix account (which I'm sure you do!) you can watch every episode of every season! Here's a little preview of my favorite moments on the show (not in any particular order, because I'm lazy).

1. Treat yo self

If you know any line from Parks and Rec, it's probably this one. Classic Tom and Donna move, going on a no-expense-spared shopping trip once a year.

2. Ron gets real about healthy living

And again:

SAME

3. Lit-rally

Definitely not relevant or funny if you don't watch the show. But if you do, "lit-rally" might (quite lit-rally) be part of your daily vocab.

4. April uses scare tactics with the new intern

5. Leslie has a very April-like moment

At this moment in time, Leslie is at her absolute best.

6. SNAKE JUICE

Hands down one of my favorite episodes is when everyone goes to Tom's new club and drinks a lethal drink called Snake Juice, which results in extreme drunkness.

7. Ben tells it like it is

I think that pretty much anyone in college appreciates this sentiment.

8. Donna illustrates the importance of social media in the 21st century

Donna knows that the interwebs are a beautiful thing.

9. Ron introduces a slightly weird (and hilarious) metaphor about the government

A quote that is only heightened by the fact that Ron does, in fact, work for the government.

10. And (in honor of Halloween!), April's pre-labor decision to put on monster makeup


Since I'm a huge Parks and Rec fan, it was hard for me to narrow it down to just ten moments, but these are definitely some of the best! Now get out there and watch Parks and Rec (or, if you already have, watch it again). You won't regret it.

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
