Presidential Candidates As Parks And Rec Characters

The good, the bad and the Trumps.

If you are a Republican, you will most likely hate this. But let's be honest, Parks and Recreation is a liberal show, so you should have seen it coming. As for those who lean more towards the left, you will find all of these comparisons to be scary true.


Trump is Jamm.

( NBC & Reuters)

Firstly, Trump is Jamm simply because they both have awful hair. Secondly, because they're both idiotic a**holes that do not belong in a place of power. While watching both of them on TV, you may wonder to yourself, "how the hell did they make it this far?", because they obviously have no clue what's going on. This is most likely due to the fact that they are very self-absorbed.

It won't be too long until Trump start's saying, "you just got Trumped!"


Rick Santorum is Marshall Langman.
(Husband of Marsha Langman: The anti-gay penguin activist.)

(Scott Olson & NBC)

Can you guess who compared homosexuality to Beastiality? Well, it wasn't Marshall Langman, the morality crusader / homophobe who is clearly attracted to men. However, these words did come from another homophobic mouth - Rick Santorum's! Both of these men seem to be on a divine quest to rid anything that violates the ethics of the "traditional family."



Lil Sebastian is Joe Biden.

(NBC & Esquire)

Why is Lil Sebastian, Joe Biden? Well for starters, everyone loves Joe Biden and can't deny it. Secondly, because if Lil Sebastian were to come back from the dead, he would most likely be the next councilman of Pawnee. Hence, if Biden were to come back to the political life he may very well be the next president. If not, we understand, Joe and we will sing, "bye bye, lil Joe Biden. We'll miss you in the saddest fashion."


Jeb Bush is Bobby Newport.

(Paul Sancya/AP & NBC)
What do these two lovely boneheads have in common? The fact that they have an advantage in the polls because of their daddies. While their campaigns may have all of the glitz that comes with your dad being a very influential entity, their actual platforms are not so grand.


Carly Fiorina is Lindsay Carlisle Shay.

Carly Fiorina is just like Lindsay Carlisle Shay from Eagleton. Both of them are all for privatization. Carly would love to repeal Obama Care and Lindsay would love to Privatize the parks, so that only Eagleton kids can play. To put it bluntly, they really both love the idea of exclusion and believe that we should prohibit the interaction between the wealthy and the poor.


Rand Paul is Ron Swanson.

(Reuters & NBC)

The fact that they are both libertarians makes Ron Swanson the obvious option for Rand Paul. But is he as much of a man as Ron Swanson? That question is up for debate.



Dr. Ben Carson is Herb Schaefer.

(Cinema Blend & Huffington Post)

There's no denying that Dr. Ben Carson is a smart man, but there is also no denying that he is quite delusional - just like our friend Herb. If you can't remember Herb, he's the cult member that believes the world is about to end every couple of months due to the wrath of Zorp the surveyor, who is a 28-foot-tall lizard-god savior that will burn everyone's faces off. As ridiculous as that idea is, Dr. Ben Carson's craziness is not far from the same level as Herb Schaefer's. This thought of mine was solidified when Carson made the statement : "You know Obamacare is really I think the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery."

Hillary Clinton is April Ludgate.

You all thought Hillary was going to be Leslie right? Wrong! Hillary is the perfect April and here's why - Hillary is frequently the main target to be bashed by the media and by her political opponents but frankly, she does not give a damn. Also because she's got some sarcasm in her. This was seen when someone asked her if she had "wiped the server" in regards to her "huge email scandal"- she responded by saying, "with a cloth or something?"Just like April, she just can't contain the sass sometimes. Another reason why April is Hillary's spirit animal is the fact that under the surface they really care and are willing to fight for what they believe in. And if she were to lose, she would probably handle loss just as elegantly as April...


Ted Cruz is The Douche.

(Getty Images & NBC)

Plain and simple. Ted Cruz is the Douche.

Bernie Sanders is Leslie Knope.

(Jacquelyn Martin/AP & NBC)

Plot twist - Bernie Sanders is Leslie Knope! The major reason why Bernie is Leslie, is because just like her, he's a huge Underdog - but a fierce one. Also because they're both just trying to save the places that they call home from corruption, environmental degradation, and idiots like Jamm (AKA Trump). Unfortunately, for both of these political geniuses, the public does not give them the recognition and respect that they deserve and instead are looking to the idiots for the answers. WAKE UP PAWNEE / AMERICA... Think for your selves and choose someone that actually loves this country and ALL of it's people.

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
