10 Most Relatable Parks And Rec Quotes
The Huffington Post

If you're anything like me, you love the show Parks and Recreation (affectionately referred to as Parks and Rec). It is by far one of the best mockumentary-style shows ever (outside of "The Office"). Parks and Rec contains some of the most quoteable lines that we, as college kids, can all relate to. Here are the 10 most relatable Parks and Rec quotes.

1.“I have no idea what I’m doing, but I know I’m doing it really, really well." — Andy Dwyer

I know for a fact that I have little to no idea what I'm doing most of the time. Andy certainly doesn't have any idea what he's doing throughout the show's entirety, and I can relate to that.

2. “Jogging is the worst. I know it keeps you healthy, but god, at what cost?" — Ann Perkins

As a person that hates running, I can definitely relate to this. The best part of running is when one stops running, and this quote from Ann Perkins perfectly captures the collective distaste for running.

3. “I don’t want to do things. I want to not do things." — April Ludgate

April says how I feel pretty much on a constant basis.

4. “We need to remember what’s important in life: friends, waffles and work. Or waffles, friends, work. It doesn’t matter. But work is third."— Leslie Knope

The first two items are interchangeable, but I agree with Leslie. Work is absolutely third.

5. "You're in trouble because of your own stupidity."- Leslie Knope

Oh the times I've wanted to say something like this to people I have classes with.

6. “History began on July 4, 1776. Everything that happened before that was a mistake.”- Ron Swanson

If there's one quote that perfectly sums up the Fourth of July, this is it. Well done, Ron. Well done.

7. "Just give me all the bacon and eggs you have. Wait…wait. I worry what you just heard was: give me a lot of bacon and eggs. What I said was: give me all the bacon and eggs you have. Do you understand?"- Ron Swanson

Once again, Ron struck gold with this fantastic line while ordering food in a diner. This quote fully summarizes my general hunger level at any given point during the day. Ron might just be my favorite character on Parks and Rec just because of this quote.

8. "Treat yo self!"-Donna Meagle and Tom Haverford

This is what I tell myself every time I get an overpriced cup of Starbucks coffee.

9. "I tried to make ramen and the coffee pot and broke everything."- Andy Dwyer

This is usually what happens to me when I try to improvise.

10. "There has never been a sadness that can't be cured by breakfast food."- Ron Swanson

I could not agree more, Ron.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
