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.

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.
