Ron Swanson as a boss? Sounds pretty good to me!

Why Working At Parks And Recreation Wouldn't Be So Bad

Netflix and the addition of season six of "Parks and Recreation" has been a minor problem with my productivity on Sundays, but is quite possibly the best TV series available online. Working in local government of a small town in Indiana has never been (and probably never will be) my dream job, but the show has made me analyze the best aspects of the Pawnee Parks and Recreation Department. Listed below are the top eight reasons why working at Parks and Rec wouldn't be so bad.

1. Ron Swanson would be your boss and would literally not care about anything you do.

2. You would work with Tom Haverford and get free entry into all the greatest Pawnee night clubs.

3. Leslie Knope would take you to JJ's Diner, aka home of the greatest breakfast foods and loyal government officials.

4. You would work closely with Leslie Knope—quite possibly the most enthusiastic and energetic employee in the American government.

4. Jerry would make you feel a lot better about yourself based on his own lack of social grace.

5. Andy could give you free shoe shines and could literally be manipulated into doing anything for you.

6. You build parks.

7. Chris Traeger: easy to look at and easy to work with.

8. You would always have Donna to remind you to:

Raise your hand if you can't wait for season seven! (My hand is raised.)

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
