Barack Obama's Greatest Moments

With the election coming to a close, it is with a heavy heart that I say Donald Trump will be our next president. I have been asked to comment about this, however, I want my articles to be a safe place for everyone to be able to escape the anxieties and fears that are showing through in their lives and in this country. I want my fellow members of the LGBT+ community to feel safe here. I want people of color to feel safe here. I want anyone of any religious, sexual orientation, gender and status to feel safe here. With that being said, I would like to focus on some positives this election season by going over some of the greatest moments of Obama's presidency. Like him or hate him as a president, we all have to admit he's a pretty cool dude and can be pretty funny. He also makes for some great memes. Without further ado, here are some of Obama's Greatest Moments.

Obama's Mic Drop


At the annual White House Correspondents Dinner, where Obama gave his eighth and final performance, he dropped the mic and ended with the statement “Obama out”. At that correspondents dinner, he also roasted Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, Ted Cruz and, of course, Donald Trump.

Kiss Cam

When the Obamas were first shown on a kiss cam at a basketball game, they didn’t kiss, much to the crowd’s dismay. Afterwards, Michelle Obama said that their daughter Malia was disgusted with them after they were booed for not kissing. When a second chance arose, however, the two of them kissed. It was honestly a very cute moment.

“Does your hair feel like mine?

How could anyone forget during Obama’s first term when a five year old boy visited Obama in the Oval Office and got to feel his head because he wanted to know if Obama’s hair felt like his? I thought it was a very cute moment, and that’s coming from someone who highly dislikes children!

Obama “caught” in Spider-Man’s webs


Another iconic moment in Obama’s presidential history. President Obama pretended to be caught in a web as an aide's son dressed as Spider-Man went trick-or-treating. This is one of the unscripted moments that make him really stand out above a lot of presidents.

Obama and Biden job through the White House with Gay Pride Flags

This was one way Obama and Biden celebrated same sex marriage being legal in all 50 states. They took up Gay Pride Flags and went for a jog around the White House. Biden even wore the Gay Pride Flag as a cape at one point.

These are just a few of some of his greatest moments. While things look down right now, do not despair! The Obamas will be greatly missed, but we have to think of the future now. While I also wish, like a lot of people, that I could glue Obama to the Oval Office and tell him not to leave us, his term is coming to an end. Instead of weeping over the occasion, let’s just remember how cool of a president he was and how influential his run as President of the United States of America was.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
