10 Moments That Will Make You Miss President Obama
Pete Souza

With President Barack Obama's presidency at its end, it helps to look back at all the moments he has shared with us the past eight years. Regardless of political stances or opinions,we can all agree that he was a hilarious and chill president.

1. When President Obama partnered with Buzzfeed in the video "Things Everybody Does but Doesn't Talk About" and he referenced his own meme.

The man, the meme, the legend

2. At the 2011 White House Correspondents' Dinner, President Obama responded to criticisms of where he was actually born with the release of his "birth video".

He then proceeded to show the video of Simba being presented to the Kingdom in The Lion King.


He then proceeded to beat Fox News to the chase by saying:


Now that's a way to shut down the haters!

3. When Jimmy Fallon and the President did "Slow Jam the News".

Have we seen a cooler president? The answer is no.

4. When speaking on LGBT issues in 2015, and there was a heckler, the President told him off.


Savage.

5. At his last State of the Union Address, when the Republicans were cheering on not having to run another campaign, President Obama had the perfect response:


Again, SAVAGE.

6. When the President made the ultimate dad joke at the 2015 Pardoning of the Turkey on Thanksgiving.

You can just see Sasha and Malia's disappointment.

7. The whole "Couch Commander" video.

This whole video is a masterpiece.

8. When the President complimented his wife at the 2016 Black History Month Reception.

Relationship goals.

9. When a man told the Obama: "Mr. President, don't touch my girlfriend."

Classic Obama.

10. This epic mic drop at President Obama's last White House Correspondents' Dinner:

"Obama out."

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
