If you're a Parks and Recreation fan, then you can attest to this: Andy Dwyer is the nicest person on the (fictional) planet. Played by Chris Pratt, Pawnee's most lovable assistant is a little daft and (formerly) soft around the edges, but he's also fun-loving, romantic, and happy, like, 99.9% of the time. That is to say, he's knows how to live the hell out of life. But, you know, how?
Cynics and skeptics take note: There is way to get through your day that doesn't involve sitting around sulking, and reading criticism of Miley Cyrus. Put the thinkpieces down, friend, and just take some cues from Andy.
For more of Andy and the rest of Pawnee, tune into the season six premiere of Parks and Recreation tonight at 8 p.m. on NBC.
