How to Be the Leslie Knope of Everything You Do

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

For those who don’t know, Leslie Knope, played by Amy Poehler, is the main character of Parks and Recreation and is one of the best girl bosses ever. She’s inspirational, funny, motivated and a great role model for all women. Here’s how to take the advice she gave throughout the show and be the Leslie Knope of everything you do.

Remember that work isn’t the most important thing in life.

Don’t ditch your girlfriends for a boy.

Be confident with all the work you do.

Love yourself.

Empower your friends.

Remember: There’s nothing that breakfast food can’t fix.

Don’t be afraid to be considered annoying.

Don’t spend unnecessary money.

Encourage yourself.

Be passionate in everything that you do.
