15 Reasons Why Obama is the Coolest
Tim Slagle

There is no doubt that our boy Obama is the coolest of the cool. And he just happens to be president, too. Here's a list that proves how he made being president cool again.

1. That swagger.

The constant reminder that he's got everything under control.

2. That humor.

"Between Two Ferns", "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee","The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon", "Saturday Night Live"; the list goes on and on! The ability to have a self-deprecating sense of humor— even when you're the president— is a talent in and of itself.

3. Our boy's got game.

Look at that height! I bet it didn't even touch the rim.

4. He likes to live dangerously.

"A three and half foot drop? I got this." Look at that form too. I bet he landed graciously. Just as he always does.

5. Children love him.

For obvious reasons, of course.

6. He knows how to greet people.

The only way you should greet Bruce. Nailed it, as always.

7. Always looking cool

He even masters talking on the phone. He's probably talking to Trudeau, planning how they can overload the world with their coolness combined.

8. He brushes off the haters.

Presidents have to know how to get that dirt off their shoulders. Can't let it build up until you are buried under the blame you are putting on everyone else. Thank you for showing us what it is to be self-confident and to believe in yourself first and foremost.

9. This is his 2016 Christmas Card.

Thanks to none other than Justin Trudeau for encouraging this shot to be taken. You deserve our never ending gratitude for this precious moment.

10. His bromance with Biden.

Their love, their friendship, their teamwork. The dynamic between the two is something that we are so lucky to have had. Thanks for an incredible eight years.

11. Once again, that swagger.

Gotta check out my competition, then it is Shades on Blades On.

12. SO MUCH SWAGGER.

"Is it cool in here? Oh wait, it's just me."

13. He's always got our backs.

We always knew Obama was here at the end of the day to make us feel better even when times were rough.

14. That smile.

Reminding us that being the president can also be fun, sometimes.

15. All of the mic drops.

And well-deserved mic drops at that. You can mic drop your presidency on the last day sir. Job well done. Thank you for everything.

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.
