Which month and character are you?

If The Months Of The Year Were "Parks And Rec" Characters

Here's something you've probably never wondered before but I "often" have: which month of the year would each "Parks and Recreation" character be? Well, using absolutely no science, I've come to some startling conclusions. During my recent discovery and binge-watching of this fantastic show (I know, I'm late!), I've learned a lot about the characters and inhabitants of Pawnee. And now, through careful planning, I've deduced which character month each would be. I know you've been waiting all your life for this information:


January: Leslie Knope

The beginning of everything, always on top of things, super enthusiastic, can do no wrong (or secretly does everything wrong but hides it really well). Picture yourself in those first few weeks of a New Year's Resolution...that's like Leslie 24/7.


February: April Ludgate

Pessimistic, cold and distant. The time when no one wants to go outside, talk to anyone or do anything. Sounds a bit like April...


March: All of the insane public forum townspeople

Super lame, confusing and confrontational. March is a bully, and so are the insane people who go to every public forum in Pawnee. There is always something to complain about.


April: Jerry Gergich

Totally misunderstood. Loved one minute, mocked the next. Sometimes surprising you and sometimes doing exactly what you expect. (Poor April, poor Jerry.)

May: Andy Dwyer

Soft, cheerful, clueless, always discovering something new. Lots of emotional depth but no clue what's going on. (Just like all of us in May...what even is May?)

June: Donna Meagle

Sassy, lively and all about self-love. Always ready for a good time, life of the party, getting everyone's act together. Donna (and the month of June) for the win.

July: Ann Perkins

Warm, outgoing and optimistic, but also not afraid to be brutally honest. Likeable and also desperate to be liked, praised by most (but especially Leslie).

August: Mark Brendanawicz

Forgettable month, forgettable character. The one you tolerate while it's around and then put immediately behind you when it's over. All-around blah.


September: Ben Wyatt

Sarcastic, upbeat but cynical, and a total nerd. Often surprising, often surprised (sounds exactly like you in the first month of the semester, eh?).


October: Tom Haverford

October is a time when everything's changing. Tom changes his life plans almost constantly. It's also a fresh, fashionable month with lots of traditions. Hmmm...


November: Ron Swanson

Wants everything to the point, too tired to put up with your crap, wants people to talk less and say more. Also, secretly caring and appreciative (just like Thanksgiving, am I right?).

December: Chris Traeger

Despite being busy and stressful, Chris and the month of December are also relentlessly cheerful and merry. Both require huge amounts of self-motivation to achieve success, and can be painfully optimistic at times.

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
