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!

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
