This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BC chapter.

I like to consider my Boston College experience as a series of firsts. Some examples include the first day of class, the first shower in a communal bathroom, and the first time the O’Connell dryer decided to leave my clothes soaking wet. Leslie Knope, of Parks and Recreation, seems to understand perfectly everything that we go through as BC students.

The first time you make it up The Million Dollar Stairs

The first time you go to a Mod party

The first time you see your college GPA

The first time you eat the food at Mac

The first time the stress of finals hits you

The first time you try out Professor Cronin’s dating assignment

The first time you go through the on-campus housing process (AKA me right now)

The first time you tackle the chaos of the activities fair

The first time you have a class where attendance isn’t mandatory

Thank you to BC alum, Amy Poehler, for making Leslie so relatable to her fellow eagles.
