The People In College Seen Through 'Parks And Rec' Characters

Although it may seem like colleges kids wouldn't have people in their life similar to those who work in the Parks and Recreation Department in Pawnee, Indiana, it is pretty accurate and applicable to the college scene.

1. Ron Swanson

Ron is that guy: super quiet kid in your math section. He never speaks and lord knows he doesn't want to. You can also feel him silently judging you no matter how far away you are, or how close to the door he is. Then, you see him on the weekend downing an entire bottle of whiskey in the quad and you are like ???


2. Tom Haverford

Tom is that guy in your hall who thinks he has way more swag than he actually does. He is always talking about all the babes he is getting and all the cool new clothes he has. But in actuality, everyone in your entryway knows he's a sham.

3. April Ludgate

April is your roommate who hates your guts.Then at the end of the year, she cries when you are moving out.


4. Ben Wyatt

Ben is that kid from freshman fall who you thought was super weird but ended up being one of your best friends by your senior year...and you secretly bond over your love of calzones.

5. Andy Dwyer

Andy is that guy you met once around campus and now see in the most random places doing the most random things. You see him in the Science Center at 1 am eating a grilled cheese, and then a week later doing a pset outside while it is snowing.


6. Chris Traeger

Chris is your way too overenthusiastic TF who tries to get everyone excited for the next pset. Please Chris, we are not excited.


7. Ann Perkins

Ann Perkins is that one friend you aren't really sure how you became friends with because you are complete opposites in every way possible but you are so thankful that you are. And then you remember it's because of all the fun you two have together on the weekends.


8. Leslie Knope

Leslie is that girl who sends out way too many enthusiastic emails to your dorm to join various clubs and do random things. But hey, good for her for having some school spirit.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
