Leslie Knope For President

Leslie Knope for President 2016.

Yup, sounds good to me. There's something about that just roles of the tongue and is music to my ears. Leslie Knope, what an extraordinary woman. She always goes above and beyond to satisfy the people of the small Indiana town Pawnee. For those of you living under a rock, Leslie Knope is the deputy director of the Parks and Recreation Department for Pawnee's local government. We all know that we don't know who we want to vote for in the upcoming presidential election. All I know is I'm voting for Leslie Knope and this is why you should, too.

1. She's not afraid to say no.


2. She is already homies with congress.


3. She is very organized. And has her priorities straight.


4. And so is her sense of budget.


5. She keeps it 100 hunnid in every situation.


6. She knows how to dress for success.


7. And how to inspire not only others, but herself.


8. She makes a better Hilary Clinton than Hilary does.


9. She is willing to sacrifice sleep for her job.


10. And most importantly she knows the responsibilities she will take on and can handle them with ease.

At times it may seem like she doesn't have a plan or doesn't know what she's doing but whatever she is doing, she's giving it 150 percent. Her heart is as full as Ron Swansons mustache, and she loves the people around her as much as Donna loves her Benz. How many times did Knope sacrifice her own time and decisions for the good of the citizens of Pawnee? She is willing to do everything in her power to accomplish not only her dreams but the dreams of the people around her. Although Leslie cannot actually run for president, we all wish she could. So on voting day when you're standing in that tiny little booth just think "what would Leslie do?"

I leave you with the final words of Leslie Knope, "I'm running because I want to improve the lives of the people that I love and the city that's the greatest city in the world."

So don't forget y'all, Vote Knope 2016!!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
