Leslie Knope Is A Genius

Leslie Knope Is A Genius
Glamour Magazine

"Parks and Rec" is without a doubt one of the best sitcoms on TV today. In the story, set in the small town of Pawnee-Indiana, many unique and diverse characters can be found, like Tom, Ron, and April, among others. But, the queen is definitely the main character, Leslie Knope.

Amy Poehler gives life to a heroine that is still a human. She achieves whatever she wants to, but in her own way she struggles, fails, gets tired, etc. She is not perfect.

After watching the seven seasons of the show, I think the biggest lesson Leslie Knope teaches in "Parks and Rec" is that with passion, perseverance, having a true belief and, most of all, having a human focus, even the most impossible ideas can become a reality.

Inspired by Leslie Knope I would like to share the reasons why she is a genius:

1. She doesn't care if she looks ridiculous in order to get what she wants #noshame.

2. She knows how to deal with her feelings and she still gets the job done #brave.

3. She will always let you know what she is thinking #nomatterwhat.

4. She loves breakfast food #thebest.

5. She believes in team work #bestteam.

6. She's the friend who will always be there #bff.

7. She makes great dance moves when she feels it's right, no matter when, where or with whom #dirtydancing.


8. She makes a great team with Ben (and their dance moves are just the perfect match) #meanttobe.


9. She knows how to group party #snakejuice.

10. She talks to herself #control.

11. She loves herself #sexy.


12. She tells people she loves to f*** off when she needs to #bloodwithdrwall.

13. She just rocks! #leslieknope

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
