Top 10 Parks And Recreation Characters
Beta Series

Although I am late to jump on the Parks and Recreation bandwagon, I started watching it at the recommendation of my roommate and I love it. I started it less than a week ago and I've already seen five of the seven seasons. It's witty and definitely entertaining, something many sitcoms tend to lack. Anyone who has binge-watched a show knows you're always going to have favorite and least favorite characters, it's inevitable. While I don't really HATE any specific characters from Parks and Recreation, these are my personal favorites, ranked.

10. Jerry Gergich

Poor Jerry. I have nothing against him, he's just Jerry.


9. Ann Perkins

Ann is supposed to encompas the "perfect best friend" and while she does that, there's also times she kind of annoys me. She whines a lot. That grabbed her the number nine slot.


8. Donna Meagle

Donna and Tom's "treat yo self" episode was iconic, however, Donna really does lack some character development, so she couldn't really be much higher on the list.


7. Tom Haverford

Again, "treat yo self" is ICONIC. Tom is just a bit too much for me. He's always a good laugh, though.


6. Chris Traeger

I LOVE Chris Traeger. He is LITERALLY the most positive person I've ever seen, even though he isn't technically real. Bummer.


5. Andy Dwyer


We are all Andy Dwyer in one way or another. This GIF of Andy is my favorite. And if you don't like Andy, you may take a liking to Bert Macklin, FBI.


4. Ron Swanson

Ron is the bomb. Ron probably doesn't believe in lists, so his place at number four wouldn't affect him much.

3. April Ludgate

I personally identify with April Ludgate. Her dark humor and sarcasm is the freaking best. She has a lot of one liner's that, even if you haven't watched Parks and Rec, you probably know.

2. Leslie Knope

Leslie is the eccentric main character of the series. She's hilarious, relatable, and she cares for everyone around her. The only reason she didn't get the number one slot is because of...

1. Ben Wyatt

Ben is my absolute FAVORITE character in the whole freaking series. He is the most sarcastic and dramatic character in the series, but he's still the best. With a face like that, it would be hard for him to not have the number one slot.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

two women enjoying confetti

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
