If you need a pick me up, these quotes and this show are for you.

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."

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
