The First Week Of Classes As Told By 'Parks And Rec'
Wired

Summer has finally come to a close and the new semester is upon us. Like every year, the return back to campus brings with it both excitement and a unique string of challenges. Who better to summarize the trials and delight of the new semester than the Pawnee Parks and Recreation department?

You spend your trip back to campus anxiously awaiting your arrival with the enthusiasm of a child on Christmas morning.

You rush to unpack your stuff and get your dorm ready for the new year.


There is no joy like the joy of seeing your old friends after a summer apart.

Before you know it, it's time to say goodbye to your parents,

And to get ready for the semester ahead.

Begin the semester with an unparalleled gusto, determined to avoid the pitfalls of the past semester, certain that you're the most organized you've ever been in your life.

Unfortunately, that determination declines when you wake up for your 8 AM class.

Still, you make sure your best self shows up to class in the morning.

But you have that one professor who's voice never fails to put you to sleep,

And the other who gives you a full lecture on the first day of classes,

And that student you've talked to once who suddenly wants to be your best friend,

But even they aren't as bad as the freshmen who make you feel old.

You find yourself longing for the ability to nap wherever, whenever like you could in the summer time.

Nevertheless, you voyage on, ready to grab this semester by the horns and take on the world. After all, college is the time of your life.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
