Ron Swanson, the one man with enough ideas to run America kinda efficiently.

With the 2016 election approaching and tons of media coverage about the potential presidential candidates, many "Parks and Recreation" fans are probably wishing Ron Swanson could run for president. With his libertarian beliefs, hatred of the government, and his undying love for America and freedom, Ron Swanson would be the perfect person to change the way America is run and make the government simply okay.

On world history:

Ron has a vast knowledge of world history, which is something that is vital for a good president to have.

On foreign policy:

One of the many things that comes up in presidential debates, speeches, and the daily life of the president is foreign policy. Ron Swanson knows that the best way to deal with foreign countries is to just not.

On his vice president:

Being close with your vice president is important, and Ron certainly knows that. Despite his obvious dislike of people, he would still manage to constantly support his vice president.

On capitalism:

Ron believes that capitalism is the only way. No exceptions.

On helping those in need:

Ron is a firm believer of "every man for himself" when it comes to politicians, and keeping his emotions out of the equation will help him run this country smoothly.

On taxes:

Enough said.

On America's beauty:

Ron understands the truly beautiful aspects of America's freedom.

On dealing with other candidates:

Donald who? Ron knows how to throw his opponents off their game, especially when they try to get too friendly with him. Simply call them the wrong name to put them back in their place.

On businesses:

He knows exactly how business should be handled.

On dealing with authority:


Who needs permits or permission? Not Ron Swanson!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
