Going Back To school As Told By The Cast Of Parks And Rec

Summer has been great and all, but lately, I think I'm ready to go back to school for several reasons. There are some things that I absolutely look forward to, and some that I wish I could avoid that would make going back to college so much better. Here to help me explain the positives and negatives of going back to school is the cast of Parks and Recreation!

1.Reuniting with your Friends

Of course, the number one reason we all want to go back is to once again see our family away from home. Our friends, bros, homies, sistas; all the people we have met during our time at college that have made our lives so much better.

2. Productivty


It's nice to have a good, long break to recharge your batteries from all the work professors and bosses place on you throughout the year, but after a while, you start to get bored and are anxious to do something, anything! Working in general isn't favorable most of the time, but at least it gives you something to do. When you go back to school, you have many things to keep you occupied and productive such as:

Working out.

Joining clubs and organizations.

And of course homework... It sucks, but at least it keeps you busy.

3. Food and Cooking

Yeah... I feel like this can be both a pro and a con. At school, you have the freedom to choose what you eat and how much of it you want to eat. At home however, you get those delicious home cooked meals that you will not find anywhere else. You can always cook your own food, but what could be easier than ramen?

4. Going to class and learning

Going to class isn't everyone's favorite activity, but if you can get by it and pass it, then you can go a little further in life. Not one of the top things people look forward to when going back, but life isn't always a piece of pie.

5. Adulting

You go back to school and you're all on your own. This is when you get that independence that almost every adult is supposed to have so you can be successful in life. However, adulting is probably the scariest thing ever because you still don't know what you're doing with your life and you just want to sleep and eat all the time.

6. Work hard, play hard

And of course, after much studying, working, and adulting, there is always going out and having a blast with your friends to destress and take a break from your worries.

These are only a few of the things I look forward to when I get back, as I prepare to start my second year of college because I know it's going to a great one!

College is supposed to be one of the best times of your life. However, it is also one of the toughest transitions to make.

You truly are on your own. I was blessed to meet my best friends within the first week of school. Your college friends are so important and here’s why:

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
