Why Leslie Knope Is My Spirit Animal

If you know me, you know that one of my all time favorite shows is Parks and Recreation. If you have never seen it, I strongly urge you to start the series. The show is about a group of government park employees who basically go through life together. Among them is their boss, Leslie Knope. She is an enthusiastic and hard working councilwoman, and is head of the parks department. There are a lot of things I could say about Leslie Knope, but all I will say is that she is awesome, and here is why.


1. She is optimistic.

Every episode seems to have a situation that is unable to be resolved. Leslie conquers every situation with a good attitude, and a game plan.

2. She is a gangster.

Because she just is.

3. She is honest with herself.

Even though it may take a while for her to be honest with herself, she eventually gets there.

4. She is loyal.

Two words: Ann Perkins (Leslie's best friend). Leslie Knope is the best best friend a person can have. She will do anything for you, no questions asked.


5. She is competitive.


I would not want to go head to head against Leslie Knope in... well, anything. She is determined and is willing to do anything (anything that wont compromise her morals) to get the results she needs.

6. She is dramatic.

What is life without a little flare for the dramatic?

7. She refuses to slow down.

Leslie understands the importance of living a full life and refuses to slow down for anyone or anything.

8. She is creative.

There is always a ‘Knope’ flare to everything that Leslie does. From Halloween parties to groundbreaking ceremonies, you can always tell if it is a Leslie Knope event.

9. She loves to dance.


Who doesn’t like to bust a move every once and a while?

10. She loves to have fun.

Leslie can make anything fun.

11. She is always prepared.

If you watch parks and rec you know that Leslie has a binder for literally every possible situation, and about 10,000 scenarios to deal with everything that comes her way.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
