If you've ever seen Parks and Recreation, you're probably a fan of the famous character, Tom Haverford. Played by Aziz Ansari, Haverford is a hilarious, catchy, and sometimes cute addition to the Parks and Rec cast. If you're familiar with this, you also know about his unique, yet clever life advice. Here are Tom Haverford's top 10 life advice quotes:

1. "Is it a banger?"

Giphy

Because why waste your time listen to bad music?

2. "Everywhere I go, I'm walking on red carpet."

Giphy

Genius.

3. "Sometimes you gotta work a little so you can ball a lot."

Giphy

If there's one thing we know about Tom Haverford, it's that he hates working and loves to party! Maybe we all should start living by this concept.

4. "Behind every successful man is me, smiling and taking partial credit."

Giphy

5. "When life gives me lemons..."

Giphy

"Starting now, when life gives me lemons I'm going to slice them up into wedges and throw them into vodka tonics, which I will then sip in a burlesque nightclub, that I co-own with actor Taye Diggs and two of the Pussycat Dolls."

6. "Haverford rule number six."

Giphy

Good point, Tom.

7. "Love fades away, but things last forever."

Giphy

Screw love, just buy a ton of stuff.

8. "Justin is hip."

Giphy

Justin Bieber, of course.

Haverford is all about being "hip" and "cool." Certainly words of wisdom to live by.

9. "I have never taken the high road, but I tell other people to 'cause then there's more room for me on the low road." 

Giphy

Again, genius, Tom.

10. "TREAT YO SELF!"

Giphy

What would life advice by Tom Haverford be without "Treat yourself!" Literally useless, that's what.

What's life without treating yourself every once in awhile? Useless.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
