Thanksgiving Dinner with Parks and Recreation

These iconic characters celebrate Thanksgiving

If someone asked me how many times I've watched every season of Parks and Recreation, I'd have to lie and say twice. However, it's more like four or five times, if I answered honestly. So since I have a bit of an obsession, I decided to enable it even more by writing about what our beloved characters would do on Thanksgiving Day!

1. First of all, Leslie would throw the biggest Thanksgiving Day party for the Parks and Rec team.

Most likely, she'd begin with a speech about what Thanksgiving meant to America and then go on to open a slideshow she created just for the occasion until someone finally stopped her so they could begin eating.

2. Tom would be dressed to the nines and worry about staining his clothes while taking perfect, Instagrammable pictures of his food.

Because we all want to follow Tom Haverford on Instagram.

3. Of course, Jerry and Gayle would show up in matching Thanksgiving themed outfits.

The cutest couple besides Leslie and Ben, to be honest.

4. Ben would be sitting next to Leslie, eating a Thanksgiving version of a calzone that she made just for him.

Hopefully, this one wouldn't betray him.

5. April would be in Andy's lap, whining about being at the Thanksgiving party while Andy would investigate the missing Turkey slices from his plate as Bert Macklin.

Of course, the turkey would be eaten off his plate by Champion.

6. In order to stay in top physical shape, Chris would have brought his own healthier versions of stuffing, cornbread, and other Thanksgiving delicacies, which no one would eat.

After dinner, Chris would probably run a few miles just for fun.

7. Meanwhile, Ron would pile his plate high with the turkey that he cooked while opening up a new bottle of Lagavulin and glaring at Chris' healthy plate.

Also, there'd be zero vegetables whatsoever.

8. Donna would be dressed to impress while planning her and Tom's next Treat Yo Self outing.

She'd also talk about the latest Scandal episode while live tweeting the dinner activities.

9. Finally, Ann would be next to Leslie, keeping her from consuming an unhealthy amount Thanksgiving waffles (pumpkin spice waffles from JJ's Diner).

Thank god for Ann.

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.
