Although the wonderfully hilarious mockumentary "Parks and Recreation" aired its final season last year, the show will forever hold a special place in my heart. Amy Poehler, Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Pratt, Aziz Ansari, Rashida Jones, Adam Scott and all of the wonderful cast added to the comedy in different ways. Taking place in a run-down city in Indiana (I'm convinced Pawnee is based on my hometown), the Parks and Recreation Department resembles a family. A dysfunctional family, sure, but a lovable one. My all-time favorite character, Andy Dwyer (played by Chris Pratt), perfectly portrays the ups and downs of college students. Although in his early to late thirties, Andy is basically a giant child. This is college, told by Andy Dwyer.
1. When you get your first midterm grade and you studied so hard.
2. Finals week.
3. Discovering what is actually in your college diet.
4. Basically, any time your professor calls on you.
5. Every college kid has tried it at least once.
6. When you spend hours at the library.
7. When you begin your five-page term paper the night before it's due.
8. What you wish you could say to your professor at the student-teacher conferences.
9. When you fail at acting your age.
10. When you have to explain to your professor why your test scores are so low.
11. When you try to act like an adult because you are technically legal.
12. When you try to figure out the nifty desks in class and promptly break something.
13. When you finally accept that your life is in shambles.
Andy Dwyer is the "Parks and Recreation" funny man, and although he took only one college class (Women's Studies) and failed, he certainly grasps what goes through a college student's mind.
