Bromance Goals: Looking Back On Obama And Biden's Friendship
Harper's Bazaar

Earlier this week, President Obama surprised Vice President Joe Biden with Medal of Freedom; the highest civilian honor in the country. The award, whose previous recipients include former President Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II, was granted to Biden for his hard work and dedication while in the office, with Obama calling him "the best vice president America's ever had" and a "lion of American history." President Obama continued to praise Joe Biden by stating "To know Joe Biden is to know love without pretense, service without self-regard, and to live life fully."

An emotional Biden responded after receiving his award by saying "This honor is not only well beyond what I deserve, but it's a reflection of the generosity of your spirit, I don't deserve this. But I know it came from the president's heart."

And of course, the internet exploded with love and admiration for the two as it is one of the final acts of friendship we would see from the presidential duo. Recently the social media world began making memes out of the close friendship of Obama and Biden calling it "Washington's ultimate bromance."

However, Obama and Biden are proud of the close friendship they have formed while working together the past eight years. And it's unlike any other relationship we've seen with a president and their vice president. Obama noted his close relationship with Biden in his Farewell Address Tuesday night by saying "To Joe Biden, the scrappy kid from Scranton who became Delaware's favorite son, you were the first choice I made as a nominee and the best," he continues, "Not just because you have been a great Vice President, but because in the bargain, I gained a brother. We love you and Jill like family, and your friendship has been one of the great joys of our life."

But as President Obama's term in office comes to an end, it does not mean an end to his friendship with Joe Biden. Barack Obama has noted several times how close their families have become over the past eight years, and how they will continue their friendship after they leave the Oval Office. So don't worry internet, there's still hope for more Obama and Biden memes!

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.
