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

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
