12 Times "Parks and Rec" Described Auburn Life
showprobe.wordpress.com

Over the summer, I binge watched "Parks and Recreation" on Netflix, and it quickly became one of my favorite shows. Since I love Auburn as much as Leslie loves Pawnee, I have noticed that sometimes the show perfectly describes life on the plains

1. Attending events for the free food


Let's be real, free food is one the best parts of college. While you could also get info about a club, free food is always worth your time.

2. Eating on campus in general


Even though college food tends to get a bad rap, the food at Auburn is pretty great. The smoothie truck, am I right?

3. When class starts after break

Alright, how do I use Quizlet again? Everything was a lot easier when I could sleep in every day.

4. When the professor starts lecturing on the first day

It's supposed to be syllabus week! It's too early to be learning things already!

5. When you get a good grade on a hard test

Auburn is one the hardest colleges in the SEC, after all. Just listen to Donna and Tom on this one.

6. When it's the first home game of the season

You're here to support the team, the band is playing, Aubie's there, we're all in orange and blue, and everything is great! Except if we lose, of course. (But let's not think about that.)

7. Just thinking about Alabama

Don't even get me started on the Tide.

8. Making it through the Haley Center without getting lost

It truly is a maze in there, so you should always be proud of yourself for knowing your way around.

9. Getting lost on campus...and not even being a freshman

I'VE BEEN HERE FOR A YEAR ALREADY. HOW DO I NOT KNOW WHERE EVERYTHING IS?

10. Walking through the concourse

You're lying if you say you've never just thrown away the fliers that people hand to you on the concourse.

11. Just trying to get by in general

We have all been Andy at some point in our college lives. #thestruggle

12. Knowing you made the right choice in coming to Auburn.

Jerry/Garry/Larry/Terry is right for once. I love Auburn and I wouldn't want to go anywhere else.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. 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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
