Maybe even the best character ever.

If you've ever watched "Parks and Recreation: before, then you are no doubt familiar with Orin. We've never met anyone like him. He's genuinely one of a kind. He might not be the next Bachelor, but he's Orin and that's strangely...better.

1. Orin’s a professional man. His resume will be the first one that employers look at because it's that exceptional.

He may not have extracurriculars or any experience in the corporate world but he has many other skills and talents. He's just too modest.

2. Orin has a bachelor's degree and even has a special talent.

Orin didn't write it on his resume, but humility is key for Orin. How does he stay so humble?

3. Orin knows how to plan an event. It may not have balloons and champagne but can you plan a better event?

Sure, it's not the food bank or a coat drive but he's giving his precious time to help the community. Oh, and don't ever tell Orin what he is and what he isn't.

4. As a part-time job, Orin's a professional fortune teller

He doesn't need an orb or a magic room because he's Orin. You won't ever have to worry about being financially unstable. Nope. Not when you're with him.

5. Orin is domesticated and doesn't believe that women belong in the kitchen.

If anyone empowers women, it's Orin. He has #HeForShe tattooed across his chest and he certainly has "no ragrets". A true feminist icon.

6. With all seriousness aside, Orin just wants to have fun.

Orin's just here to have a good time. He's the life of the party. He's one of us.

7. But like every great man, he has a weakness

I can't stand heights but Orin can't stand Chris Traeger and that is 100% okay. It just reminds me how human Orin is.

8. Regardless of what anyone says, Orin continues to be himself.

It's so important to find a man who's confident in his identity and sadly, it's a rarity to find someone who's like that.

Orin knows the way to any woman's heart and you're lying if you say you aren't captivated by him. If there's one person I miss from "Parks and Recreation," it is the man of my dreams, Orin.

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.
