10 Songs On Leslie Knope's Dance Party Spotify Playlist

Huffington Post

As I was thinking about a topic to write about this week, I found an article by a fellow Odyssey writer that listed several article topics help with writer's block. One option was "What songs are on your favorite fictional character's playlist?" which combine two things I love: fictional characters and making playlists.

One of my favorite TV shows is “Parks and Rec.” I’m sure all “Parks and Rec” fans would agree: Leslie Knope is an inspiration. She is determined and never takes no for an answer. She has no time for misogyny and is basically who I want to be when I grow up. So here’s my version of Leslie's favorite dance party playlist.

1. Run The World (Girls) - Beyonce

Because Leslie knows who really runs the world.

2. Wannabe - Spice Girls

I feel like Leslie would know every single word of this song.

3. Everything's Gonna Be Alright - Mike Mains & The Branches

Because Leslie ALWAYS has a positive attitude.

4. Boom Clap - Charli XCX

This would definitely be Leslie's car jam.

5. I Would Walk 500 Miles - Kenny And The Scots

Because Leslie always gives 100%.

6. Roar - Katy Perry

This would definitely be the Pawnee Goddesses anthem.

7. Brave - Sara Bareilles

I think Leslie was Sara Bareilles' inspiration for this song tbh.

8. Home - Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros

I like to think Leslie and Ben have these lyrics hung up somewhere in their house.

9. Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison

What Leslie listens to when she's missing Ann.

10. Walking on Sunshine - Katrina and The Waves

Because Leslie is literal sunshine.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo
