Whether or not you have watched the show Parks & Recreation (and I highly recommend that you do) you’ve most likely heard of Leslie Knope. The ultimate go-getter, the powerhouse of Parks and Recreation, the quirkiest role model. Leslie Knope is all the best qualities of yourself, plus everything you want to be. It would be impossible to list all her best moments since she has like a billion, so here’s the top fifteen!
When she got no sleep and still achieved more than thought to be humanly possible.
When she described exactly how you feel after a crazy, long day.
When she wasn’t afraid to look to her friends for support.
When she embodied your fashion goals.
When she did what we all want to do with the cute boy we’re crushing on.
When she gave herself a little TLC.
When she was determined to get the job done, no matter what.
When she was an expert at describing people.
When she, too, felt dead after a night out.
When she wouldn’t admit to her intensity.
When she devoured breakfast food like a champ.
When she refused to let things happen any way other than her own.
When she probably just needed a really good nap.
When she did her awesome and dorky happy-dance.
When she reminded everyone just how truly amazing and badass she truly is.
She’s quirky, she’s cute, and she’s an all around inspiration. She acknowledges her highs and lows, and she stays true to herself while still having a great time. Let’s all find our own inner Leslie Knope’s.
