Parks and Recreation character, Ron Swanson, is arguably one of the best characters on the show. His tough demeanor and hatred for the federal government provide a good laugh whenever he opens his mouth. His thick mustache and stoic attitude give the Parks Department what it needs to stay afloat, even though Leslie Knope does 99.99 percent of the work. But, even though Ron is tough and demanding, he still provides viewers with tidbits of wisdom that we can follow, even though it may come across harsh. So here are five wonderful words of wisdom brought to you by Ron Swanson.

Ron Swanson is extremely realistic. One cannot give 110 percent intensity, that number just simply does not exist. One cannot give more than all that they have. So always give 100 percent, unless you're working for the federal government and then he would say just sit there and ignore the phone.

This kind of ties in with the first tidbit of wisdom. When giving 100 percent, give it to one thing at a time. Ron says to do one thing and do it well then move on to the next. I can agree to this wholeheartedly. I cannot multi-task, and when I do the tasks I am doing turn out terrible. So whole-ass one thing ladies and gentleman. Don't half-ass anything, it won't get you anywhere in life.

This could be just a guy thing, but, when eating meat, feelings are on hold. The only feeling that should be felt is the pure joy and pleasure of being able to bite into the wonderful creation that God provided for us as food. Meat is a staple. For those of you that refrain from eating meat, thank you. More meat for me.

Go out and experience the beauty of nature! It is so wonderful. Even if I am just reading a book I love to be out in my hammock loving the sun and the trees. The bugs could go away, however. If you are going to paint nature go outside and enjoy it first! I am not much of a painter (I would botch the magnificence of the creation) so I will do all of the standing, hiking and walking in it I can.

This is probably the wisest thing this man has said. I personally do not enjoy cats much. They don't fetch. They don't come when you call their name. They just eat the food you buy them and be lazy. And when people have an awesome cat they exclaim "but my cat is so cool it is just like a dog!" If the best quality of your cat is a quality that a dog possess then it only proves the point dogs are better. And over 50 pounds please. I don't want to risk stepping on ones dog when I interact with it.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
