Even though technically he'll remain in office until January, President Obama's final term is coming to an end far too quickly. Seeing as our next president will be announced this coming Tuesday, I thought that I would compile a list of Obama's best moments/why he's my favorite person ever.

1. When he read mean tweets.

There's no shortage of sarcasm and funny faces from our leader.

2. He knows that representation matters.

This adorable little boy wanted to know if Obama's hair felt like his own, so naturally, Obama didn't hesitate to let the boy touch his hair. *Cue me crying*

3. He has no problem making fun of himself sometimes.

He knows not to take everything too seriously and that's incredibly refreshing.

4. When he made a friendship bracelet for Joe Biden.

What other president has had such a lovable bromance with their Vice President?

5. He never has a shortage of dad jokes.

He's so proud of his joke and his daughters' reactions make it 10 times better.

6. When he and Michelle read Where the Wild Things Are.

They brought this classic story to life for the kids and they weren't afraid to look silly. #CoupleGoals.

7. When Ellen took Michelle shopping at CVS.

Technically, this isn't one of the President's best moments, but we all know that Michelle is just as important and iconic as Barack.

8. When he slow jammed the news with Jimmy Fallon.

This is quite possibly my favorite clip of Obama. 11/10 would recommend.

9. He recognizes the little people.

This woman is 106 years old and she was so happy to meet Obama, the first black president. He and Michelle even danced with her.

10. He makes the BEST faces.

It's just really entertaining to watch his sarcastic facial expressions.

11. His comebacks are instant classics.

He said this during his State of the Union Address after some Republicans cheered when he made the remark that he didn't have any more campaigns to run. Classic.

12. His iconic mic drop.

Last but not least, Obama concluded his speech at his last White House Correspondents' Dinner with this legendary mic drop.

Here's to the smoothest, funniest, and most genuine President to ever lead this nation. You will be greatly missed.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
