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."
