Proven very scientifically via GIFs, so there can be no argument.

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
