Life Advice As Told By Leslie Knope

Just like every other Netflix addict, I became very amused with the show, Parks and Recreation. I learned that the starring character, Leslie Knope, has a lot of great life advice to share with the world.

Great point Leslie! No matter what direction life throws you in there's almost always a choice on whether to react in a positive or negative manner. Positivity has the power to solve a situation whereas negativity can make a bad situation worse.


With this statement, Leslie really means to solve conflict in a rational way. There are many times in life that we may butt heads with another individual but there's still a decision to be made to explain your side in an empowering way.

You can do anything! Although this quote is more humorous then most, Leslie means well by declaring that with the right mindset anything is possible.


Be goal oriented, and have passion behind that goal. Leslie was very passionate and went after every dream or belief she had. That is the way life should be lived.

Put dedication into your work. Leslie always went the extra mile for her job because she knew it would pay off. She was hardworking and inspiring.


You must always be true to yourself. Do not care what others think about you. True friends love the real you, and strangers can be affected by you.

Always love yourself first. You do not have to call yourself but remember that everything will be okay, and you must also forgive yourself.

Your personal life must always come before your work life. You can not be happy in your work life without first being happy in your personal life.

These are all great life lessons to follow so next time you're stuck in a bind just think to yourself, What Would Leslie Knope do? It will instantly make you feel better. Remember to always "Be the Leslie Knope of whatever you do".

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
