10 Reasons Why I Am Leslie Knope
Hello Giggles

I literally talk about how I'm pretty much exactly like Leslie Knope all the time, but I feel like I need to drive the point home more until I don't get that awkward stare anymore from unbelievers when I start to geek about her. Like, you don't understand how much she is me. And what better way to make my point than through a wonderful journey in GIFs? *whacks down gigantic color-coded binder*

1. You probably haven't seen me at any college dances, but this is basically what I look like. I am thankful that usually the dance floor is very dark and no one can see me. This is also why I usually hide out in a large group of friends while dancing in public.

2. Some people like to set their friends up on dates. I don't do that. I don't trust my decisions regarding romance, after witnessing my own love life. However, if we are close friends, I will always be on the lookout for true love for you. Granted, you're the one who will most likely doing the asking out on that first date, but I'll be there. Silently supporting you. Always.

3. If I ever met David Tennant. Or Benedict Cumberbatch. Or Chris Pratt. Or Amy Poehler. The list goes on.

4. Someone recently asked me if I liked to play board games. I told him no. I've had to declare a ban on all board games after the many competitions I've had with my extended family that ended up something like this:

5. I don't get "cranky" too often. However, I do have those days when I'm just a little out of sorts and all I want is to find some pizza and whipped cream and climb into bed to watch Netflix. Once in a while, a well-meaning roommate would attempt to reach out to me in my aggravated state. "Are you okay? You seem a little cranky." My response?

6. I always say, you can tear me down, you can tease me and yell at me and punch me dead in the face, and there's a chance I'll be able to swallow my anger and let it pass with the grace of a lady. However, if a hair on the head of anyone or anything I love is touched, I will come for you and you will. go. down.

7. I never let my friends say they are anything less than perfect. I love you. You are perfect and wonderful and beautiful. Shut up.

8. I might get ticked off, but I forgive just as quickly.

9. As those who have attempted to argue with me know all too well, I am... engaged... to say the least...

10. I choose the people who I keep around me very carefully, and I love the heck out of them.

The end. You can't disagree with me on this anymore. I have proven it via moving images.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
