15 Ways Leslie Knope Just Gets Us

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

1. Essentially anytime you leave the gym, an impossible exam, or cleaning your room on a Sunday morning, Leslie knows what’s up.

2. When you’re running late to your 8 a.m. and then realize what you look like, #OhNo.

3. Immediately regretting a decision such as that Snapchat, text, or Facebook message to your crush.

4. General reaction to “post going out social media checking.”

5. The typical collegiette’s reaction to when she finds out how long her “nap” was.

6. When you have to do something that you don’t want to do.

7. The classic internal response to when your prof asks if you understand the lecture/lesson.

8. Most of us girls can easily relate this to getting ready on a Friday night…Every Friday night might I add.

9. No explanation is necessary. #PreachGirl

10. Causes: Boys. Class. Boys. Homework. Work and Internships. Boys. Did I mention boys enough?

11. When you find out that bae likes you back. Yes.

12. Getting ready for a night out and wanting to impress a certain someone.

13. Your inner thoughts during impossible classes such as calc, chem, and history.

14. When your friends bring up your weekend mistakes or your questionable crushes. #ICan’t

15. When you are being too hard on yourself and you need that motivational speech. Thanks, Leslie, for just understanding us collegiettes.

I dream of eating waffles with Amy Poehler and climbing to the top of Corporate America specifically in the fashion industry. Amy P hasn't responded to my emails, so in the meantime, I'm your typical college student who is majoring in Accounting. I'm a self-proclaimed Diet Coke and Twitter addict and I will never go a day without them. I hate the gym so don't look for me there.
