We all remember the first show we binged on a streaming service. For many people, they were big name titles like "Breaking Bad," "Friends," or even more recent shows like "Riverdale." This may possibly be an unpopular opinion, but "Parks and Recreation" is better than "The Office." There, I said it.

The show follows a parks and recreation department in Pawnee, IN, and their antics. It could be said that Leslie Knope, an ambitious workaholic who loves government, is the main character, but the show progresses in a way where there are several different story arcs that also include the problems of the other lovable characters.

1. When Leslie was the most supportive best friend

This is only one of the few descriptive compliments Leslie has given to Ann.

2. When Leslie's campaign struggle accurately represented an average morning

The struggle is entirely too real.

3. When she took a stance on breakfast food

Truer words have never been spoken.

4. When April gave her thoughts on adulting

A.K.A. me when I save money.

5. Two words: Snake Juice

The sun shone a bit brighter the day we were given this GIF.

6. When Donna gave us these words to live by

A.K.A. me when I fail to save money.

7. When we were all Ben in a trying situation

I've lost count how many times I've done this myself.

8. Literally, any time that Chris said his literal favorite word

Chris is literally the most optimistic character I've ever watched.

9. When Andy knew how to have fun on the job

What, you don't do this at work?

10. Don't even try to tell me that Ben and Leslie aren't #couplegoals

Who knew calzones and waffles went so well together?

BRB, I'm going to go rewatch the entire series again.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
