"Parks and Rec" may be one of the world's most genius shows, and I think it's so great because everyone can relate to it in some way or another.

Especially college students.

Here are 38 ways Parks and Rec may just some up the life of a college student.

2. Listening to Your Family and Friends *awful* Political Views, And Figuring Out How To Tell Them That Their Views Are *awful* Without Being Too Mean

3. Alcohol being your Best Friend


4. But Also The Devil...


5. Getting An "F" Back On An Exam You Thought You Did Great On

6. ... And Seeing Your Classmate Got An A On It

7. Wanting To Go To The Bars With Your Friends But Knowing You Have A 15 Page Paper Due at Midnight


8. Rushing To Finish A Paper That You Knew About for Two Months

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
