8 Times Leslie Knope Explained Life Perfectly

For everyone that watches Parks and Rec - which should be the population of the planet, but apparently that's "bias" - we all know Leslie Knope is one of the best characters ever written. That entire show was honestly so well written I sometimes lose sleep over it. But that's for another day.

Here are 8 times Leslie Knope was all of us.

1. When you need affirmation that everything is going to be okay.

We all lose our marbles from time to time, but Leslie sums up being worried about literally anything, perfectly.

2. When you wake up the morning after you go out and you can't remember a thing

We have ALL said this, probably more than once. And we will say it again.

3. When you really want to change your diet, but like, cookies.

Leslie said it best; healthy foods are disgusting and make you sad. Okay, maybe not sad, but cake was invented for a reason!

4. When you're trying really hard not lose your cool, but you are being tested

Growing up we were taught never to poke an angry bear....just saying.

5. When all the cool kids start talking about cool things they did while you sat in your room and read

No shame here, I got to go to Hogwarts while the other kids made friends and memories. Who's the real winner here?

6. When you have a mid-life crisis every week and try to pretend anxiety isn't a thing

Pancakes sound great!

7. When you start catching feelings for someone

I say avoid this one altogether! But at least Leslie knows how we feel.

Last, but definitely not least....

8. When you have some bad days, but you know you're capable of anything you set your mind to.


Leslie Knope will always be here to help us through the ups and downs and thank goodness for that! Here's to friends, waffles, work and being the the best Leslie Knope's we can be.

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
