8 Reasons Why I Love "Parks and Rec"

Imagine a show that is full of funny stars like, oh I don't know: Amy Poehler, Chris Pratt, Nick Offerman, Adam Scott, Aziz Ansari, Rob Lowe, and Rashida Jones. Well, lucky you, because that show does exist, and it's called: Parks and Recreation! All of these stars have graced our TV screens with this show for a whopping 7 seasons. Bravo, guys.

I am about to give you 5 reasons why I love Parks and Rec. Here it goes...


1. Andy. Sweet, naive Andy.

He's very sweet, but he's just not the smartest in the bunch.

2. April always brought out the best of him.

Who doesn't love tater tots, though?


3. Leslie really really loved her best friend, Ann Perkins.

4. And she also loved waffles... A LOT.


5. Ron Swanson always knew best when it came to desserts.

He was such an oddly lovable character, even though he really disliked people in general.

He also wasn't a big fan of technology.


6. Tom Haverford - his only downfall is that he works TOO hard and dresses TOO well.


7. The Jean-Ralphio & Mona Lisa Saperstein brother/sister duo.

After Tom hired Mona Lisa as a salesperson at his store, Jean-Ralphio's true feelings about his sister came to light.

But I'm not gonna lie... Jean-Ralphio is my favorite out of the two. He deserves his own spot on my list of reasons why I love this show.

8. Jean-Ralphio Saperstein.

Because he's not the best rapper in the world.

...But he never gives up. Especially when he's trying to woo a woman that goes by the name of Leslie Knope.


Here's to wishing that Pawnee, Indiana were a real place, and these people were real as they are in my heart (insert awkward smiley face).

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
