Some of the most beloved shows in television history includes The Office and Friends. The reason for their dominating success on television is due to the fact that the show's casts were extremely relatable to their viewers.

In 2008, Parks and Recreation began airing. The premier of the show created a brand new crop of characters that had their audience relating to hard-working Leslie Knope, realist Ron Swanson and the rest of the gang. Some viewers related to the level-headed Anne Perkins or identified with a more ambitious character like Tom Haverford, others more like Andy Dwyer. These are the people who have the best intentions but just aren't the brightest bulb. Along the way, viewers also met April Ludgate, the sarcastic but surprisingly sweet character, Donna Meagle the social butterfly of the department, a constantly stressed out Ben Wyatt, and Chris Traeger the exercise enthusiast and die-hard optimist.

There's also Jerry, the character on the show who is constantly targeted by his co-workers and making mistakes-- also the character who is constantly forgotten about.

Along the seven-year run of the show, some moments summed up the life of a college student perfectly.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
