9 Times Barack and Malia Obama May Have Been Laughing At My Expense

Prove that they weren't.

9 Times Barack and Malia Obama May Have Been Laughing At My Expense

Embarrassing stuff happens to all of us. It hard not to feel like everyone will always remember the most humiliating moments of your life. It's especially hard not to feel that way when every time you see a photo of the former first family smirking you think, "Did the Obamas somehow find a copy of my Chad Michael Murray fan mail?" Here are nine times when Barack and Malia Obama probably weren't, but definitely may have been, laughing at my pain.

1. Before the presidency.

Here we see then-Senator Obama and young Malia playfully giggle as they pose for the press. But, who's to say they hadn't just passed me on the streets of Chicago and couldn't stop laughing about the fact that I had to wear braces, a top expander and a bottom expander at the same time?

2. When they met Malala.

"Malala, you are a ray of light in a dark dark world," or, "So Ray spends the whole year thinking he was going to ask her to prom and then... he doesn't?"

3. At this basketball game.

What a cute pic of Barack and Malia sharing some quality time courtside. Makes it a lot less cute if you consider the fact that they may be looking at two separate copies of my fourth grade school photo.


4. During his second inauguration.

To the naked eye, it appears that Malia is beaming with pride after her father took his Oath of Office. But, it's just as likely that she can't help but grin because Barack is whispering, "Remember the bob grow-out phase?"

5. On this random couch.

The story about how long it took me to have my first kiss is so funny that they had to get Sasha in on the action.

6. Their Hawaiian vacay.

Exciting day at The Honolulu Zoo? More like finally excited to get their hands on a VHS copy of my circus camp performance.

7. Talking to this chef.

Everyone knows chefs aren't funny. Meaning the only logical conclusion here is that this guy is regaling the first family with the tale of the time Pete Wentz's dad slammed a door in my face.

8. Boarding Air Force One.

Yikes, clearly some snitch from my high school told them that whenever I'd eat a snack in homeroom a group of boys would say that I was eating dog kibble.

9. During this freakin' family laughfest, apparently.

Looks like the same snitch from high school thought the Obamas needed to know that kids thought I had not one, but two, glass eyes. Michelle doesn't think Barack's bullying is funny, and that's why she's America's favorite first lady.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
