10 Quotes From 'Parks And Rec' To Help Motivate You

NBC Universal

For those of us who are struggling to make it through a work day, a semester, or just a crappy day, sometimes all you need is a little motivation to help you finish strong. So whether you're a Jean Ralphio kind of guy or a Ron Swanson, here are some fun quotes to help keep you going!

"Sometimes you gotta work a little, so you can ball a lot." -Tom Haverford

*After doing five minutes worth of work in an eight-hour shift*

"I have no idea what I'm doing, but I know I'm doing it really, really well." -Andy Dwyer

My exact reaction when my boss asks me how things are coming along.

"We have to remember what's important in life: friends, waffles, and work. Or waffles, friends, work. But work has to come third." -Leslie Knope

Seriously though, Leslie is dropping truths on us right now. Get your priorities lined up and you'll feel so much better. Waffles should always be first though.

"Treat yo self." -Donna Meagle/Tom Haverford

RIP to my bank account because of this one saying...

"Never half-ass two things. Whole-ass one thing." -Ron Swanson

If I'm gonna do this wrong, I'm going to do this wrong the right way.

"I'll have the number 8." -Ron Swanson
"That's a party platter. It serves 12 people." -Waiter
"I know what I'm about, son." -Ron Swanson

When the Wendy's employee gives you a concerned look after ordering 50 chicken nuggets for yourself. Yes, I know what I'm about, son.

"I am big enough to admit that I am often inspired by myself." -Leslie Knope

*Me after doing one good thing*

"What I hear when I'm being yelled at is people caring really loudly at me." -Leslie Knope

This is a lot more helpful than you think! They're not yelling at you because you messed up, they're yelling at you because they still love you after you messed up.

"There has never been a sadness that can't be cured with breakfast food." -Ron Swanson

This can be confirmed after a 3 a.m. trip to the diner fueled by self-loathing and insecurities.

"Why don't you turn that frizown upsidizity." -Jean Ralphio

Okay honestly, Jean Ralphio is the perfect best friend that everyone needs when they're feeling down. Between that face and his imagination, what's not to love?

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
