10 Of Barack Obama's Most Personable Moments While In Office
CNN

Whether or not you agreed with the way Barack Obama ran our country during his two terms as President of the United States, one thing that almost all of us can agree on was that he was a very personable guy. From all of the corny dad jokes he cracked to the various times he serenaded our country (despite not having the best singing voice... his words not mine), he was always finding a way to make us smile during his presidency. Below are 10 of my personal favorite moments:

1. His corny Thanksgiving jokes.


2. When he ended his White House Correspondents Dinner speech with a mic drop.


3. His first tweet:

4. His ability to entertain kids:


5. His response to the people that say he's arrogant and aloof.

"Some people are so dumb."


6. When he addressed Donald Trump's concern about his birth certificate.

"Donald Trump is here tonight. Now I know that he’s taken some flak lately. But no one is happier—no one is prouder—to put this birth certificate matter to rest than The Donald. And that’s because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter: Like, did we fake the moon landing? What really happened in Roswell? And where are Biggie and Tupac?"


7. The way he handled the 2011 poll numbers.

‘I’ve even let down my core constituents: movie stars. Just the other day Matt Damon – I love Matt Damon – said he was disappointed in my performance. Well Matt, I just saw The Adjustment Bureau so right back at ya buddy!’


8. When he serenaded us at Christmas.


9. When he took a stance on the Kanye West/Taylor Swift war.

"The young lady [Taylor Swift] seems like a perfectly nice person, she's getting her award...he's a jackass."


10. During his farewell address when he announced that his proudest accomplishment in life was being a dad... despite being elected as the first ever African American President of the United States.

"Of all that I've done in my life, I'm most proud to be your dad.”


Take notes Trump. You have some big shoes to fill.

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.

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.
