College As Told By The Cast Of 'Parks and Recreation'

"We have to remember what’s important in life: friends, waffle and work. Or waffles, friends, work. But work has to come third." -- Leslie Knope

College As Told By The Cast Of 'Parks and Recreation'
Indie Wire

You have to admit, it's pretty hard to hate the show "Parks and Rec," just like it's hard to hate college. College is a time filled with some pretty funny experiences, that in the end, leave a lot of room for growth and great memories.

Though people experience college differently all over the world, from the good times, to midterms, to dealing with the stress of hearing the constant buzz over the election, everyone can relate to these typical thoughts of a college student as told by Leslie Knope and your favorite Pawnee Parks Department from "Parks and Recreation."

1. When someone tells you that a class won't be a lot of work


2. When you realize you're bad at adulting because all you ever wear is Nike shorts and t-shirts

But really, what other time in your life can you dress for comfort every day and not be judged?

3. When your alarm goes off for your 8 am and you contemplate why you're doing life

Who thought it was a good idea to try and get classes that early every day? Oh right...you did.

4. When you know you should exercise to avoid the freshman fifteen but it's just SO hard

5. When the only thing everyone is talking about is politics and you just need a break from it all

Because literally every other post on Facebook is yet another rant, am I right?

6. When you have way too much work, not enough time to finish, and no plan to get it done

We've all been there...no shame.

7. When the professor is talking and you understand zero of the words coming out of his mouth

8. When you finally get to collapse in bed after a long night out

9. When it's one of those days and you have no motivation to actually do your homework

10. When the line for Starbucks is 3 miles long and you need your coffee before class

11. When the stress of midterms and college in general starts getting to you

Your friends are always there to keep you on track or take super fun study breaks with you.

12. But, you realize Thanksgiving break is right around the corner and you'll actually get real HOMEMADE food

13. And, even better, you'll get to be reunited with your best friends

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
