Maybe it's the week from hell with all the tests, or maybe you feel like you can finally breathe this week after last week, or maybe you're dreading the week to come — either way, we all need some "Parks and Rec." I speak with no overexaggerating when I say that "Parks and Rec" is the best show in the whole world, and that everyone needs to watch it. We all need a Leslie Knope, Ron Swanson, and an Andy Dwyer to get us through life's challenges. Below are some of the greatest quotes that we all need to hear this week.

1. "I'll live the way I live, I'll eat the way I eat, and I'll die the way I die" — Ron Swanson  

Sometimes you just gotta do you. It might be test week and you might feel out of control of your life, but sometimes you just gotta channel your inner Ron and tell 'em who's boss.

2. "Food is for eating, places are for eating. End of discussion" — Ron Swanson 

Sometimes you need to remember that life is just life and keep things in perspective.

3. "From now on, everyone call me Kristen because I'm Wigging out right now" — Craig 

You should add this pun immediately to your responses when you look at your workload for the next week. It's a winner.

4. "Blueprints for the future are a fool's errand" — Ron Swanson  

We can plan all we want, but God has his own plans for our lives and sometimes you just gotta live in the moment and remember to enjoy every day as it comes.

5. "Gasp, butter is my favorite food" — Andy Dwyer 

Can I get a retweet?

6. "Keep your tears in your eyes where they belong" — Ron Swanson 

Sometimes we need a Ron to remind us to keep our crap together and just push on. Whatever's bothering you this week, just keep going.

7. "When life gives you lemons sell some of your grandma's jewelry and go clubbing" — Jean Ralphio

Jean Ralphio is my spirit animal and honestly is such a mood. Although his life might not be one to model and his quotes might not be the smartest, they're definitely a good laugh and keep things in life light—which we all need some more of.

I hope these quotes made you smile and laugh. Life can get tough sometimes and there's a lot going on, but remember to take time to laugh and smile and watch "Parks and Rec." Always "Parks and Rec."

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
