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).

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?

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.
