Amidst my hectic college career, I always find time for one thing, even on the busiest weeks: Parks and Recreation. This show has made me laugh and has made me cry, but most of all I have related to this show more than I would like to admit.
Here are some "Parks and Rec" moments that relate to life struggles that just about everyone faces.
1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.
We’ve all been there. You practically live in the library the week before the test and still, chemistry crushes your soul with every midterm grade.
2. When your crush finally texts back.
FINALLY! I mean yeah, it took him 4 hours, but at least he still texted back...right?
3. When payday comes around.
When you see those numbers rise and you feel rich for a full minute, and then realize you need to pay for that expensive review session because chemistry is hell.
4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.
*scroll* *scroll* then that heart pops up out of nowhere...oh no, what have I done?!
5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.
Oh no she didn’t! It is the fifth week of classes, she should know by now that I have called permanent dibs on this seat!
6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.
How could they do this to us? Make us fall in love with the character and then just rip them away from us like this?
7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.
This is the moment you have been waiting for.
8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.
Why is being an adult so hard? Why is chemistry so hard?
9. When someone asks for your last fry.
Seriously?? My last fry??
10. When you try a new health-food craze.
Kale? Quinoa? What are these foreign and healthy foods, and why are they in everything now??
11. When you get new clothing.
New shoes can make you feel like you can take over the world, one step at a time
12. When you check your bank account.
This is more heartbreaking than realizing that you’re out of clean underwear and need to do laundry. Or chemistry.
13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.
Still not as good as mom’s home-cooked meals, but close enough...kind of.
14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.
Haha, nice try.
15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.
