The Parks & Rec Reunion Special Is Everything We Needed
NBC

On April 30th, 5 years after the airing of the series finale, the cast of Parks & Recreation brought 25 stress-free minutes of pure bliss to fans everywhere.

Amy Poehler, Nick Offerman, Chris Pratt, and the rest of the cast, virtually reunited to raise money for Feeding America's COVID-19 Relief Fund. State Farm, Subaru, NBC Universal, and the producers, writers, and cast of Parks & Rec are matching viewers' donations through May 21st.

As of right now, they have raised $3 million.

This reunion episode has not only contributed greatly to such an incredible cause, but it also touched the individual lives of every viewer. While providing humor and nostalgia, the Parks & Rec cast utilized this platform to remind viewers to maintain mental well-being during these difficult times.


NBC

It is so important to not only focus on our physical well-being by staying active, but also to be mindful of our mental stability. And to hear this advice from beloved characters Leslie Knope and Ben Wyatt is definitely an added bonus.

For a quarantine production, this episode was executed so well and brought so much light to the lives of millions of Parks & Rec fans like myself.

You can't help but sing along to Andy's infamous "5,000 Candles in the Wind" with the rest of the cast at the end of the episode.

This was the distraction I, and many others, needed at a time like this.

NBC

So, if you're a Parks & Rec fan, head over to Hulu or the NBC website to watch, and if you've never seen the show, quarantine is the perfect time to start!

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.
