I Hope You're Planning To Watch Parks And Recreation If You Haven't!
Show Probe

Winter break is sadly over. If I wasn't working then I was home relaxing because it has definitely been a cold winter. Too cold to be outside hanging out. Relaxing at home of course calls for binge watching! I binge watched some movies and television shows over break and one of the shows included Parks and Recreation also known as "Parks and Rec" ! It has been on my Netflix list forever and I finally decided to watch it. I know there is seven seasons but ever since I was able to binge watch Grey's Anatomy and catch up to the current season (which was 12 seasons at the time but is now 14 seasons and counting!) I feel like I can binge watch anything!

I'm happy I started watching Parks and Recreation because it is different from the shows I usually watch. I'm usually big fan of drama and reality television shows while Parks and Rec is comedy. I definitely needed a break from drama and reality shows because the cliffhangers kill me! I have had some friends recommend Parks and Rec to me but I was always in the middle of watching another show when they recommend it. Then in one of my classes last semester, I saw many groups use clips from the show in their PowerPoints and found those short clips to be so funny so I knew I had to start watching this show! I just love the humor they use. I love the camera zooms and how witty it can be. I actually find myself seriously laughing out loud for a good chuck of each episode and these episodes are usually about 20-25 minutes. Not to mention, that is a perfect length for an episode to be binge-worthy! I'm only on season four but I think I can finish soon. I'm really excited that I got that far in that short amount of time. As I am typing this I'm thinking about when is the next time I can binge it because I am really determined to finish!

It's really hard to pick a favorite character but I like everyone for certain reasons but if I had to I think I would choose Ron Swanson.

Ron just tells it like it is. His facial expression never changes. He could care less about the government even though he works in the government. He's a simple man who loves his steak, hence why he didn't want the salad Chris offered him haha. Don't get me wrong, Ron has his issues such as his weakness for both of his ex-wives who are both named Tammy.

Also, I just love how Chris says "Ann Perkins"!

Or anything for that matter! He's just so bubbly and positive, how could you not love him?!

I'm sure that there will be more Parks and Rec articles coming your way once I finish! I had to be so careful finding gifs without finding spoilers. I'm glad I was successful in doing this because if not I would have been so mad!

I highly recommend watching Parks and Recreation if you haven't! Enjoy!

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
