The 11 Most Inspirational Quotes Of Parks And Recreation
Calvin College

Throughout my senior year in high school, the hit TV show "Parks and Recreation" would keep me going. During the weekend, you would probably find me giggling at Ron Swanson's mega manly quips or Andy Dwyer's moments of oddity. Leslie Knope became an idol for me, April Ludgate made me wish for her sarcasm, and Donna Meagle taught me the importance of confidence. I could continue to go on about Jerry Gergich (whom I relate to on a spiritual level), Tom Haverford, Chris Traeger, or Ann Perkins, but I'd prefer to get on with the rest of this article in a timely manner. Without further ado, I give you the 11 most inspirational quotes of "Parks and Recreation."

1. Don't change for anybody


2. Positivity is key


3. Always spread a little love and kindness

Just look at Jerry's little smile.


4. Take pride in your work

11. And the most important one of all:

I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
