If you are a fan of "Parks and Recreation," then you’re familiar with the much-loved couple Leslie Knope and Ben Wyatt. They’re adorable and perfect for each other. But they’re overdone. I want to be like Andy and April. They’re honest and funny, and they know how to be themselves--even together. Here’s why Andy and April are the true #RelationhipGoals in "Parks and Recreation"

1. They’re fun!

Bert Macklin and Janet Snakehole. Need I say more? They play pranks (mainly on Jerry…er, Gary? But who cares anyway). They hate the idea of adulting. (April even expresses to Andy she doesn’t want to become a boring adult). They’re immature. But they show us it’s important to keep our inner child within grasp. And it’s important to find someone you can have fun with because life is boring otherwise.

2. They make decisions based on gut and emotion.

Andy and April’s wedding is a perfect example of making life-long decisions based on gut feelings. They literally decided the night before! In one episode, April confides to Leslie that’s how she makes decisions—she doesn’t spend a lot of time thinking about them, she just goes with her gut. I think sometimes we could all benefit from that wisdom.

3. Their friends are their family.

Sure, April doesn’t express her love for Leslie or Ben (or anyone for that matter) in a typical way, but we know she loves them. And Andy is all about showing people he cares. But when it comes down to it, they will work together to help the rest of the Parks & Rec crew whenever they need it, like going all around town at the last minute to help Leslie and Ben pull off their last-minute wedding. They really are like a family.

4. They appreciate each other's quirks.

April likes things others may consider weird, but Andy loves her for those things. Andy is a bit of an idiot, but April loves that about him. When April temporarily moves to Washington D.C. with Ben, Andy sends his laundry “to remember him,” and instead of being annoyed or grossed out, she expresses she loves him (much to Ben’s confusion). They teach us the little things about a person make the person, and we have to love those quirks and accept them.

5. They're fully supportive of each other.

When Andy is struggling to find something other than Mouse Rat to devote time to and make a career out of, April encourages him to take a temporary job in London because he’s clearly passionate about music, even if it means not seeing him for months. Andy, then, fully supports April’s desire to pursue a different career, even if it means taking him away from Pawnee and the show he created. And she is upset by this, knowing the cost to Andy. They take it in turns to make sacrifices for the other person and their relationship. They show us that selfish has no place in a relationship, but that support is the most valuable thing we can give to our significant other.

No one is perfect, but there are people who are perfect for each other. I hope you find your Andy or April!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
